Questions and answers
How Texhub works for brands and factories, what the Studio does, and how we look after your account and your data.
For brands
How does Texhub choose factories for my RFQ?
Every approved factory that makes the garment and holds each certification you require is matched and told about your RFQ. A fit score then weighs its minimum order, its capacity by your date, how reliably it answers and the countries you prefer, along with its reviews and track record.
Can our compliance team see factory documents?
Each factory profile lists the certifications it holds, such as GOTS, OEKO-TEX or WRAP, and you can require them on an RFQ so only factories that hold them are matched. The certificates themselves can be shared as files in your conversation with the factory.
How do I compare quotes?
Every quote answers the same RFQ with a unit price, a minimum order, a lead time and notes. You see them side by side, ranked on price, minimum order and lead time, and you can message each of them before you award.
Can I change an RFQ after quotes come in?
Yes, while it is open for quotes. If you change the quantity, target price, target date, size run or design, the factories that quoted are asked to quote again.
What happens after I award a quote?
An order opens with that factory. You accept it or raise a dispute, and the factory moves it through production, adding notes and photos at each milestone.
What if something goes wrong with an order?
Raise a dispute on the order and give your reason. The order pauses while our team reviews it, and both sides read the outcome. Texhub is not a party to the order: the contract is between you and the factory.
Read the termsDoes Texhub handle payment for orders?
No. You agree price, payment and delivery terms with the factory directly. Our terms include advice on paying a new factory.
Safer Sourcing GuideDo factories see my contact details?
No. You talk to factories on Texhub, and they never see your email address or phone number. A factory matched to your RFQ sees your brand name, country, website and the month you joined.
For factories
How does a factory join?
Set up a factory profile with the garments you make, your minimum order, monthly capacity, location and the certifications you hold. A person on our team reviews it before you can be matched or quote.
How it works for factoriesWhich RFQs will reach us?
Every open RFQ for a garment you make, unless it requires a certification you do not hold. Your minimum order, capacity, responsiveness, country, reviews and track record set how well you fit each one.
What do we see before we quote?
The full tech pack and reference files, the quantity, sizes and deadline, any certifications the brand requires and, when the brand sets one, a target price.
How do we quote?
With a unit price, a minimum order, a lead time and any notes. If the brand changes the RFQ after you quote, you are asked to quote again.
Do brands see our email or phone number?
No. Brands see your factory profile, never your direct contact details. You talk to each brand in the RFQ's thread on Texhub.
Who can see our factory profile?
Signed-in Texhub users, once our team approves it. It shows your name, location, the garments you make, minimum order, monthly capacity, certifications and the reviews brands have written.
What if a brand disputes an order?
The order pauses while our team reviews the dispute, and both sides read the outcome and the reviewer's note. A brand can withdraw its dispute. An outcome in the brand's favour lowers the factory in matching for a year.
The Studio and its AI
Do I have to use the AI to make a tech pack?
No. Start from a catalogue garment or a blank canvas and edit every part by hand. The assistant is there when you want it, and anything it changes can be undone.
How the Studio makes a tech pack with AIWhat can the Studio draw?
Start from a catalogue garment, from tees to tailored coats, or add photos or a sketch. The assistant asks a few questions, then draws the front, back and side views as vector drawings you can edit.
Technical flats from photos and sketchesWhat is in a finished tech pack?
Flats in every view, measurements graded across your sizes, materials, colourways with TCX codes, artwork, labels and sewing details, all in one document.
Which files can I export?
The whole pack as a vector PDF, and the flats as SVG. Lines stay sharp at any print size.
How are colours matched?
Each colour is matched to its nearest TCX chip within ΔE 4. A colour further away is flagged for a lab dip, so the factory knows what to match.
Can colleagues work on the same project?
Yes. Share a project with a colleague who has a Texhub account and you can both edit it. Only the owner can delete it.
What happens to the photos I add?
They are stored privately with your project. When the assistant draws from them, they are sent to our AI providers to make the drawing.
How we use AI providersWhere do I open the Studio?
At studio.texhub.ai. Signing in on texhub.ai signs you in there too, with the same account.
Accounts and sign-in
How do I get an account?
Tell us what you make on the contact page. We set up your brand or factory account and send you a link to sign in. A factory profile is reviewed by our team before it receives RFQs.
Contact usCan one account be both a brand and a factory?
No. Each account is a brand or a factory, set when the account is created.
Does one account cover the Studio and the marketplace?
Yes. Sign in once and the same account works on texhub.ai and in the Studio.
How do I reset my password?
Open the reset page from the sign-in page and enter your email address. We send you a link to set a new password.
Reset your passwordWhy do some forms show a bot check?
Sign-up, sign-in, password reset and the contact form run Cloudflare Turnstile to keep automated abuse out. It sets no cookie and does not track you across sites.
How do I sign out of every device?
Open Settings, then Security, and choose Sign out of every device. The usual Sign out ends the session on the device you are using.
Privacy and data
Who can see my designs?
You and the people you invite to a project. When you send an RFQ, the factories matched to it see that tech pack and nothing else you have made.
What cookies does Texhub set?
Only the essential ones that keep you signed in and the service secure. There are no advertising or tracking cookies, and page views are counted without any cookie or identifier.
Can I download my data?
Yes. In Settings, under Security, Download my data gives you a machine-readable copy of the personal data on your account.
How do I delete my account?
Ask for it in Settings, under Security. Our team reviews the request, then erases what identifies you, deletes your Studio projects and closes your login. Your past orders and quotes stay, without your details, because the other side needs them.
What deletion removes and keepsWhere is my data stored?
In the United States. Texhub runs on Google Cloud, and the database and files are on Supabase, both in Oregon.
Where Texhub is hostedWho do you share my data with?
Only as running Texhub needs: with the brand or factory on the other side of an RFQ, and with the providers that host and run the service.
Who we share data withOn your phone
Is there a Texhub app?
Not yet. A phone app for the marketplace is being built. Until then, texhub.ai works in your phone's browser.
Does the marketplace work on a phone?
Yes. It fits a phone screen, with the main sections in a tab bar at the bottom.
Can I get notifications on my phone?
Yes, through your browser. Turn them on in Settings, under Notifications. On an iPhone, add Texhub to your Home Screen first and open it from there.
Cost
How much does Texhub cost?
It depends on how many tech packs your team makes and how you source, so we agree it with each team. Tell us what you make and we will walk you through it.
