Is SaleHoo a Scam?

A letter to anyone who’s wondering…

Hey there,

If you’re here because you’ve seen the words “SaleHoo scam” pop up somewhere online, we don’t blame you for doing a little digging.

After all, starting an online store, whether it’s your side hustle or your full-time dream, takes guts. And with so many sketchy websites, supplier horror stories, and overhyped “get rich” tools floating around, it’s smart to ask questions before you invest your time or money.

So let us set the record straight:

No, SaleHoo is not a scam.

In fact, we’ve spent the last 20 years helping over 137,000 entrepreneurs, just like you, launch and grow their eCommerce businesses. And we’re still here, still growing, still working every day to make online selling easier, safer, and more accessible to anyone willing to give it a shot.

But don’t just take our word for it. Here’s a bit more about who we are, and why so many sellers trust us to help them build something real.

We started with a simple goal: to protect sellers from getting ripped off

Back in 2005, our founder saw too many people getting scammed trying to start online businesses. Shady suppliers. Empty promises. No support. No tools. Just frustration and wasted money.

So we built SaleHoo to be the complete opposite.

A platform where every supplier is vetted by real people, not algorithms.
A place where you can research real product demand before risking your money.
A community where you can ask questions, learn fast, and grow at your own pace.

And we backed it all with a support team that’s always available, not just to answer questions, but to guide, teach, and cheer you on.

We’re built on trust and we earn it daily

We’re proud to have an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau (BBB). That means we follow strict guidelines for transparency, ethical advertising, and responsive support. It's more than a badge, it’s a reflection of how seriously we take your trust.

We make it safe to try and easy to leave

We get it, committing to something new is a big deal. That’s why SaleHoo is risk-free to try.

When you join, you get full access to everything:

And if, within 60 days, you decide it’s not for you? You’ll get 100% of your money back. No hoops. No pressure. Just an honest guarantee.

And here’s what we love the most:

Even if you never become a paying member, we still want you to succeed.

That’s why we offer a ton of free guides, how-to articles, and expert tips on everything from product sourcing to avoiding scams. We’ve helped thousands of sellers get started — whether they joined or not, because that’s our mission. To help people build real businesses, not chase hype.

So if someone told you SaleHoo is a scam… maybe they never gave us a real look.

But you should.

Because behind the platform is a team of real people who care. A community of sellers who support each other. And a long track record of helping everyday entrepreneurs create stores, make sales, and turn ideas into income, without going it alone.

And if you’ve still got questions, we’d love to hear them. Drop us a line anytime at support@salehoo.com.

Here’s to building something great,
– The SaleHoo Team
