How Much Does a Badge Cost?

Understanding SupplierGateway Onboarding Readiness Subscriptions

Applies to:  All SupplierGateway Suppliers

Topic:  Supplier Subscriptions — Onboarding Readiness

Quick Answer

SupplierGateway does not sell individual badges. Badges are earned through the Onboarding Readiness program, which is a monthly subscription — not a one-time badge purchase. Subscriptions start at $9.99/month (Basic), $14.99/month (Pro), or $24.99/month (Elite). The subscription tier determines which badges are available — most badges are included across all tiers, while Onboarding Readiness Badges, Insurance Validation, and Sustainability Badges are available on Pro and Elite. There is no separate per-badge fee.

What Is the Onboarding Readiness Program?

A SupplierGateway subscription activates your supplier profile beyond basic registration. While registration gets you into the system, a subscription makes you visible, credible, and competitive.

All paid subscriptions include:

• EDC Impact Certification
• 30+ compliance and risk checks
• Opportunity search and alerts
• Public directory listing and buyer search exposure
• A shareable company badge

Upgrading your tier unlocks additional badge types and capabilities — such as Onboarding Readiness Badges, Insurance Validation, Market Bidding Access, and more.
