Does Shopee Taiwan require a VPN? Do I need an external network?

Cross-border e-commerce platforms are overseas websites. If you want to visit them, it will be quite troublesome. After all, some foreign websites cannot be accessed in China now. So does Taiwan Shopee require a VPN? The following content will introduce it to you.

Does Taiwanese Shopee need to bypass the firewall?

If you want to open a store on Shopee, you don’t need to use a VPN. Although Shopee does not have an official website in China, there is a domestic server URL for sellers to apply for registration. The URL is: https://shopee.cn/. You can directly enter this URL to register a Shopee seller account and open a store.

After that, you don’t need to go through a VPN to log in to the Seller Center, and the platform does not recommend sellers to use proxy addresses, especially some free proxy servers, the IP addresses are very limited, and others may use them to log in to Shopee. If they happen to log in with this IP address, then the two stores will be linked, because Shopee also prohibits the same IP address from logging in to multiple seller accounts, which will have serious consequences. And if the IP address changes frequently, Shopee will also consider your operation abnormal and violate regulations and impose penalties.

If you encounter slow network and cannot log in when doing Shopee, it may be due to problems with the platform server. You can see if other sellers can log in. If not, just wait for the platform to recover and log in again. You can also restart your router and see. In short, you must use a stable network and a unique domestic IP address to do Shopee, so that you don’t have to worry about unnecessary impacts due to network problems.

However, if you want to buy things on Shopee, you need to climb over the firewall. Because Shopee does not allow consumers in mainland China to shop on it, you can only shop on Shopee by accessing it through an overseas IP address. But if you want to shop on Shopee, climbing over the firewall is not enough, you also need an overseas mobile phone number, email address, and delivery address, so that you can shop on Shopee.

However, I would like to remind all Shopee sellers that circumventing the firewall is illegal in our country, so it is recommended that you do not take the risk of circumventing the firewall, otherwise you may be invited to have tea!

Therefore, all the sellers on Shopee, as long as they ensure that their network is stable and their IP address is unique, they can operate their Shopee stores. Do not use a circumvention wall, because circumvention wall may bring unnecessary impact and loss to the store.
