Directory Methodology

How providers are selected

The Brown Paper directory prioritises official government resources, platform partner directories, established Australian ecommerce providers, clearly documented tools, and services with transparent ecommerce use cases. Entries are not a paid ranking.

Review criteria

• Clear relevance to Australian businesses selling online.
• Publicly available service information and support path.
• Current operation confirmed from the provider or an authoritative source.
• Specific fit notes so merchants can compare options.
• Source information that can be checked again when services, pricing, or availability changes.

How entries stay useful

Directory entries should be checked against current provider information, official documentation, and practical ecommerce use cases before they are treated as a recommendation.
