When filtering products on the web version of Alibaba, you can consider the following aspects:

1. Accurate screening: Determine the product type and look for it purposefully to save time and improve efficiency. You can first focus on finding more than a dozen suppliers that meet your own positioning, comprehensively evaluate, and filter them one by one.

2. Qualification screening:

• TrustPass: TrustPass is a paid store on Alibaba (1688)'s domestic site. Suppliers who have joined for a long time may be more reliable.

• Powerful merchants: Powerful merchants with the "bull head" logo need to pay fees, which indirectly reflects the strength and foundation of the merchant.

• Buyer protection: Shops that choose to join the "buyer protection" have paid a deposit of no less than 3,000 yuan to provide protection for buyers' transactions.

3. See if it is a merchant in the industrial belt area: Merchants in the industrial belt area may have first-hand sources of goods and have more advantages in product quality, style/function, supply chain, logistics, etc.

4. Manufacturer type: Choose different types of manufacturers according to your needs, such as brand franchise/official flagship store, source manufacturer, etc.

5. Screen by the business model of the store: different business models such as production and processing, distribution and wholesale, investment agency, and commercial services are suitable for different needs.

6. See whether the store is "deep factory inspection" or "deep merchant inspection": deep factory inspection or deep merchant inspection can give a more comprehensive understanding of the merchant's business situation.

7. Look at Alibaba's integrity system and transaction credit record: Choose suppliers with high integrity rating and good transaction credit record.

8. Look at the store's guarantee service and buyer service capabilities: the more complete the guarantee service, the better. The buyer service capability is equivalent to the DSR dynamic score of Taobao stores. Those with green need to pay attention.

9. See if it meets the requirements for dropshipping: Some merchants may have specific dropshipping requirements, and you need to consult customer service in advance.

10. Communicate with suppliers about specific details: ask about inventory supply, product photos, returns and exchanges, warranty, freight templates, express logistics, product packaging and other details.
