Can I close my Shopee store if I don’t want to open it anymore? What materials are needed to cancel the registration?

Now more and more people are starting to open stores on Shopee. Shopee stores are still very popular. Many merchants want to know whether they can close a Shopee store if they don’t want to open it anymore. The following content will provide you with relevant introduction.

Can I close my Shopee store if I don't want to open it anymore?

If Shopee merchants no longer want to open an online store, they need to apply to cancel their account as required. They can apply for cancellation in the background or contact the platform customer service to assist in the cancellation.

Materials required for cancellation:

1. Prepare the "Simplified Cancellation Registration Application Form for Individual Business Owners". If it is a family business, all staff members must sign and confirm;

2. A copy of the operator's ID card. If the operator himself comes to handle the application with his ID card, no need to provide it;

3. The original and duplicate of the business license. If the original is lost, the operator can indicate the reason and promise to bear the legal responsibilities arising therefrom;

4. If you entrust someone else to handle the application, you will need to provide a copy of the entruster’s ID card.

It is not recommended that you cancel your business license.

If the platform determines that the business license is in a cancelled state or abnormal, the store will be in danger. Therefore, you still need to conduct annual inspections on the license, as well as normal accounting and tax filing. Also, be careful not to use a virtual address on the license. Otherwise, if there is an abnormality in the business license, you need to go to the Industry and Commerce Bureau to resolve it.

Moreover, canceling a business license is a very cumbersome process, which involves much more formalities than registering a business license. For example, the company's taxation and business operations need to be reviewed, and a liquidation team will be established to liquidate your company. This requires a lot of manpower and time, so everyone should understand it clearly.

Regardless of whether you register for a business license yourself or purchase one, you must first understand issues such as taxation, annual inspections, and cancellation. Otherwise, if you register it later and are not clear about these procedures and go to cancel your business license, then if you want to start a company in your own name later, that will not work.

If you want to cancel your account on Shopee, you can directly contact Shopee customer service to cancel your account. However, since you don't do anything, it doesn't matter whether you cancel your account or not, after all, there is no deposit in it. However, before canceling your account, it is recommended that you think carefully, because it cannot be restored.
