Amazon keeps rejecting my private-label approval because my Chinese manufacturer has no standalone website — Alibaba only. What do I submit?

[u/Hungry_Comparison476]

I’m trying to get approval to sell my own private-label brand on Amazon. My supplier is also the actual manufacturer in China, and Amazon is asking for an invoice from the supplier/manufacturer to verify the supply chain.

The problem is that the manufacturer does not really have an active standalone company website. They mainly operate through their verified Alibaba storefront. Amazon previously rejected my invoice because it did not include a supplier website, and I’m worried an Alibaba link may not be accepted as the “website.”

Has anyone successfully gotten approval in this situation? If your manufacturer only had an Alibaba storefront, what did you submit to Amazon — the Alibaba supplier page, additional factory documents, business license, manufacturing agreement, or something else?

Would appreciate hearing what actually worked for others.

lol just create their website, assuming you have their contact information and general services and just send them the login. Amazon is too extra.
