What is the process of joining the Shopee cross-border e-commerce platform?

1. About business license

If you want to settle in Shopee, a business license is of course essential. Joint venture, sole proprietorship, state-owned, private, joint-stock, limited liability, general partnership, individual business license and other business licenses are all acceptable. There are no restrictions. As long as it is the latest three-in-one license, a normal business license, and a unified credit code, you can settle in. However, electronic business licenses are not supported, and different business licenses have different transaction requirements. For example, a limited company business license does not require store transaction, while individual businesses must provide online store transaction, and the order amount must be greater than 0.

2. Differences in operating experience

If you have operation experience, you need to submit the store link and the store transaction records for the past three months (at least 2 months of order records). If you have no operation experience, you can fill in "no operation experience" in the link section and submit the front and back of the legal person's ID card in the transaction screenshot section.

3. Site opening selection

You can choose the first station by yourself. When submitting the review materials, if the seller chooses "domestic trade" as the operating platform, then the first station can be opened in Taiwan; if you choose "cross-border", you can open Malaysia or the Philippines. It should be noted that for the first entry, one business license can only open one station and one store. If the seller's performance at the first station meets the standards, the operation manager will quickly open a second store for the seller during the incubation period, and the site of the second store can be freely selected by the seller. Sellers can also open other sites later. The upper limit of opening stores depends on the seller's operating ability and the actual operation of the store.

4. No threshold for entry

In order to help sellers successfully expand overseas, Shopee has launched a favorable policy of free store opening: no commission will be charged for the first three months of the seller's first entry, and the seller does not need to pay any store opening fees, entry service fees, annual fees, and listing fees. It can be said that it is 0 cost entry. In addition, after entry, Shopee will also provide sellers with a series of support, covering the common pain points of cross-border sellers - traffic, logistics and other aspects.

Well, that’s all about the conditions for opening a store on the Shopee cross-border e-commerce platform. Merchants can learn about the specific requirements, because only if you meet the conditions can you successfully open a store. I hope the above content is helpful to everyone.
