A Golden Supplier is any business that pays for a premium ECASB membership plan and gets higher search visibility, priority listings, the ability to publish more products, advanced marketing tools, a golden badge on profile and products, plus access to professional analytics. It is a paid program, not an identity verification process.

3) Why the Badge Matters for Buyers
Buyers understand the seller invests in a paid, professional membership, is more committed to B2B trade, usually has a more complete profile and responds faster. The badge does not guarantee product quality; it signals business seriousness and investment.
