What is Gold Supplier?
Gold Supplier is a premium type of membership for suppliers on Alibaba.com. To qualify for a Gold Supplier membership, a supplier must undergo and pass authentication and verification procedures conducted by a reputable third-party security service provider appointed by Alibaba.com. Once approved, Gold Supplier members are authorized to display the 
icon to demonstrate their authenticity, which means they are a legitimate entity in existence whose identity has been verified.
If you're looking for suppliers whose identities are verified, choose Gold Supplier members.
Benefits of doing business with a Gold Supplier Member
Authentication & Verification
Trade with ease and peace of mind knowing that all Gold Supplier members have had their identities authenticated and verified by a reputable third-party security service provider. This means that the Gold Supplier member's company registration details have undergone a thorough check to make sure that the entity is real and legitimate. It is of course still important for you to conduct your own due diligence before entering into any transactions with a supplier, because the authentication and verification only confirms the identity of a supplier and not the supplier's trading practices, reputation or credit worthiness.
Unlimited Product Listings
Unlike free members, Gold Supplier members can post an unlimited number of products online, giving you more products and variety to choose from. Consolidate your orders and save time when sourcing by ordering all your products from one place.
Experience in Global Trade
Gold Supplier profiles show how many years the supplier has been a Gold Supplier member, so you can gauge how much experience they have in interacting with buyers around the world through Alibaba.com.
Detailed Company Information
Alibaba.com Gold Supplier websites contain detailed information such as Management, Certificates and Quality Control so you can know more about a potential supplier before contacting them. Gold Supplier members are also reminded to keep their company profiles update with accurate contact details and the latest product information.
Serious Interest in Doing Business
Gold Supplier members pay annual fees for their memberships, which shows that they have a serious interest in receiving inquiries and conducting business on Alibaba.com.
