Getting Started
What is ExportPilot?
ExportPilot is an all-in-one platform for Pakistani exporters to find international buyers, manage their outreach pipeline, and handle export documentation. It combines AI-powered buyer discovery, CRM, email marketing, and business tools in one place.
Is ExportPilot free?
Yes. Our FREE plan is available forever with no credit card required. It includes buyer search, CRM leads, invoice builder, calculators, and basic AI tools. Paid plans unlock higher limits, automation, and advanced features.
Who is ExportPilot for?
ExportPilot is built for Pakistani manufacturers, traders, and exporters, especially from Sialkot, Lahore, Karachi, and Faisalabad. Whether you export sports goods, leather products, surgical instruments, textiles, or other goods, ExportPilot helps you find and contact international buyers.
Is my data secure?
Yes. ExportPilot uses Supabase for database and authentication, with row-level security designed so your workspace data is only accessible to you. Emails are sent through your own Gmail account, and your account credentials are handled securely.
Buyer Discovery
How does buyer discovery work?
You create a Search Job with your target query, such as "sports goods importers USA". ExportPilot searches the web, finds company websites, and extracts contact emails and decision maker names where they are public. Results appear in your Website Checks list for review.
How does the crawler work?
When you look up a company domain, ExportPilot checks bounded public website pages and extracts visible emails, decision makers, social links, and company signals where they are available.
What are search credits?
Search credits are used each time our system searches for buyers on your behalf. The FREE plan includes monthly credits that reset on the first day of each month. Upgrade for higher limits.
Can I find specific buyers?
Yes. You can search for specific types of buyers, in specific countries, for specific products. The more specific your search query, the better the results.
Email Outreach
How do I send emails?
Connect your Gmail account in Settings, then go to CRM Leads, select a lead, and click Send Email. Choose a template, review the message, and send through the safety gates.
Are my emails sent through ExportPilot's servers?
No. Emails are sent through your own Gmail account, so they come from your email address. This improves deliverability and helps build your brand.
What is the daily sending limit?
To protect your sender reputation, ExportPilot limits daily sends based on your plan. This helps prevent accidental damage to your domain's email reputation.
What are email sequences?
Sequences are automated multi-step email campaigns. You set up a series of emails with delays between them and add leads. The system sends each email automatically and stops if the lead replies or unsubscribes.
Plans and Billing
Can I upgrade or downgrade anytime?
Yes. You can change your plan at any time from Settings and Billing. Changes take effect based on the billing rules for your account.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept major credit and debit cards globally via Paddle. Pakistani customers can contact support for available local payment options.
Is there a free trial?
All new accounts can start with free access to core ExportPilot tools. Plan-specific trial offers appear on the Pricing page when available.
Privacy and Security
Is my buyer data private?
Yes. Your CRM leads, invoices, templates, and buyer discovery notes belong to your workspace. ExportPilot does not sell user data or share lead data between customers.
Where is my data stored?
Application data is stored in Supabase-hosted infrastructure in the United States, with access controls designed to keep each workspace separate.
Technical
What browsers does ExportPilot support?
ExportPilot works best on the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari. Mobile browsers are also supported.
