Membership Plans for Buyers and Suppliers - GoodTradeCenter

Membership Plans

Membership is optional. Every visitor can browse the full catalogue, view supplier profiles and send inquiries without an account. Plans exist for buyers and suppliers who trade through the platform regularly and want the operational features that make repeat purchasing and selling faster.

For buyers

• Browse the catalogue, filter by category, compare specifications and contact suppliers. Free for everyone.
• Registered buyer. Keep your inquiry history, order records and saved preferences in one account rather than across email threads; set your preferred language and currency once and have them applied site-wide.
• Active buyer. For organisations purchasing regularly: faster handling of repeat orders, structured support for specification changes and consistent-supplier requests, and help assembling comparable quotations when you are buying in more than one category.

For suppliers

• Listed supplier. Maintain a public company profile and product listings, and receive inbound inquiries with a stated requirement and quantity.
• Verified supplier. Additional review of your company information, which is reflected on your profile and materially affects how buyers respond to your listings.
• Enterprise. For suppliers with a broad range or multiple production lines: bulk listing management, support for scheduled and repeat quotations, and priority routing of posted requirements in your categories.

What every tier includes

Regardless of plan, all users get the same core safeguards and service standards: a public supplier profile with the information needed to judge a counterparty, product cards that publish specification and price together, an inquiry route that reaches the supplier directly, and a documented complaint procedure if something goes wrong. No plan buys a supplier a better position in search results or in the catalogue — ordering reflects the underlying product data, not the subscription tier. That is a deliberate choice: a platform where rankings can be bought stops being useful to buyers, and a platform buyers stop trusting stops being useful to suppliers.

Choosing a plan

If you are evaluating the platform, start free. Browse, send an inquiry, place a small order. Upgrade when the volume of inquiries or orders you are handling makes the account features worth having — not before. If you are unsure which tier fits, contact us with a short description of your buying or selling pattern and we will tell you plainly, including if the answer is that you do not need a paid plan yet.
