How to register a parent-child account on Shopee? What is the method?

There are many merchants opening stores on the Shopee platform. Some of them are doing relatively well and their stores are developing rapidly. At this time, they may need to open branches. So they want to register parent-child accounts, but they don’t know how to register. Let me introduce you to the relevant content below.

How to register a parent-child account on Shopee?

1. After entering the store registration page of the Shopee e-commerce platform, we must first check the box to agree to the commitment, then click to select "Sub-account and parent account information related", and then follow the operating instructions to fill in the relevant information of the parent account.

2. Our foreign traders also need to sign and agree to the Shopee account information collection form to ensure that the Shopee platform can create a parent-child account for our foreign traders under legal effect. If our foreign traders apply in the name of the company, they need to provide the company's seal. If it is a registered account for an independent store, they need to sign and upload the electronic scanned version of the file with their fingerprints. Generally speaking, the Shopee e-commerce platform will process our application within 5 days. During this waiting period, foreign traders can do other things.

3. After Shopee e-commerce platform processes our application, we foreign traders need to activate our master account. Generally speaking, the platform will send the activation method to our foreign traders’ mailbox, and then our foreign traders only need to click to complete the activation according to the instructions in the email.

4. After activating the account, we need to start setting up the relevant information of our foreign trader's parent and child accounts, and write our foreign trader's enterprise number, which is the user name of the parent and child accounts. For example, if our foreign trader's enterprise number is yifu, then the user name of the parent account applied for is yifu:main; and the user name of the child account of employee Zhang San is yifu:zhangsan. Regardless of whether it is a child account or a parent account, the account login password and name can be set by our account applicant, that is, the foreign trader. After applying for the parent and child accounts, distribute the sub-accounts to employees or team members, and let them log in to the sub-accounts to perform different tasks.

5. After the foreign trader has completed the login password and name of the parent and child accounts, he/she needs to bind the phone number of the parent account. Generally speaking, those of us doing foreign trade business will have a dedicated business number. Foreign traders only need to fill in our business number in the information form, but it must be valid within the activation time, that is, within 72 hours. If it exceeds the time limit, you need to apply to the platform to send an invitation email again and go through the process again.

6. After the main account applied for by the foreign trade person is activated through email, the platform will automatically associate the main account with the company's store. If you want to unbind the store, the foreign trade person needs to perform separate operations.

This is the end of my sharing on how to register a parent account on the Shopee platform. In addition to being used for branch management, parent-child accounts can also be used to manage store employee accounts. Therefore, it is very important to learn how to register parent-child accounts. Merchants in need can refer to this for reference.
