Who created MatchProduct?
MatchProduct.com is a sister company of InventionHome.com. Invention Home helps new or experienced inventors through the invention and patent process with the goal of securing licensing agreements for their inventor clients. After years of building a network comprised of thousands of companies seeking innovative products, Invention Home discovered the tremendous need to help not only inventors, but also client companies with innovative products in need of distribution. After being approached by many companies in need of distribution for their products, the company created matchproduct.com as a free business-to-business marketplace to connect companies with unique, patented or off-strategy products to other companies looking to expand product lines.

How do I get started listing products?
First, create an account by signing up for an account. Once you have an account, log in with your username and password and locate the “list a product” link on the right side of each page.

After your product is listed, MatchProduct’s marketing team will proactively work with buying companies to sell your product.
How do I use MatchProduct to find new products?

It’s fast and easy, and keeps you on top of the latest products in your categories of interest. The eAlerts service is FREE.

How do I delete my account?
Are you sure? If you really want to delete your account, please contact Support@matchproduct.com and we'll accommodate your needs. Be sure to send the message from the email address in your MatchProduct account and provide us with your MatchProduct username.
Can I close my account to start a new one?
Yes. We can close the account for you so that you can open a new one, but you will need to use a different email address and none of your information will be carried over. For security reasons usernames and emails can't be reused once they are in our system. Please contact Support@matchproduct.com if you would like to close your account.
Can I have more than one account?
Yes. Having more than one account ("multiple accounts" or "alternate accounts") is not something MatchProduct encourages, as it has the potential to cause confusion. Keep in mind that accounts cannot be merged in any way, so if you change your mind later, you will not be able to transfer information (such as listings, feedback or purchase history) from one account to another.
I don't seem to be receiving any email from MatchProduct. What should I do?
There are a few things you can do to help ensure our emails get through:
- Make sure your email address on file is correct. If this address isn't correct, we can't contact you and neither can buyers.

- Add MatchProduct's email addresses to your address book. This will ensure our emails aren’t sent to your spam/junk folder. We recommend adding the following addresses to your contacts list: info@matchproduct.com, support@matchproduct.com, marketing@matchproduct.com, press@matchproduct.com, webmaster@matchproduct.com and marketing@matchproduct.com.
