Abstract: 
With the growth of e-commerce in Brazil year after year, competition increases and entrepreneurs need to be attentive to their competitors and apply the best strategies and innovations to remain in the market. Thus, there is a need for organizations to adopt supplier selection and qualification techniques that provide competitive advantages in the market. Current organizations have sought to make their suppliers strategic partners in their businesses, and this partnership becomes a crucial factor for the growth of their businesses and a win-win negotiation for both parties. The methodology employed for the development of this scientific article was characterized by adopting a qualitative approach, and the research procedure used was a bibliographic study. The overall objective of this research is to demonstrate the importance of a careful selection and qualification of e-commerce suppliers. From the information gathered throughout the research, it became clear that evaluating the performance of suppliers is an essential issue for the development of e-commerce companies, as well as for the organization and optimization of the supply chain.
