What is the registration process for a Shopee local account? How much does it cost?

Now many cross-border e-commerce platforms have local accounts, and Shopee is no exception. This local account has more advantages than ordinary accounts. Interested sellers, hurry up and find out what the registration process for a personal local account on Shopee is!

1. Enter the Shopee online application page, fill in the information, and submit it for review. The review time is about 2-3 days.

2. After the review is passed, you will receive an official email with a form that needs to be filled in. Follow the instructions to add the review specialist’s QQ.

3. After adding the audit specialist’s QQ, the audit specialist will send you a message, prompting the required information (the same as the email instructions). The seller only needs to send it directly through the QQ dialog box.

4. After receiving the store opening email, click the red word "here" to jump to the registration link to register.

5. Receive an email inviting you to join the group.

6. Registration is successful.

1. Can mainland sellers open stores on auctions?

Yes, merchants in mainland China can apply for opening as long as they have seller qualifications (see application guide for details). However, due to the increasing influence of the platform, the recruitment of merchants has become increasingly strict. It is becoming increasingly difficult for small and medium-sized sellers to pass the application.

There is also a compromise solution, which is to quickly open a store by purchasing some transferred stores. You only need to change the P card for receiving payments, which is very simple. Another seller asked if Shopee has individual sellers. The answer is yes. However, individual sellers are mostly opened by local Taiwanese users, similar to personal stores on Taobao. Users in mainland China cannot open it (a local Taiwanese bank card and mobile phone number are required).

2. Do sellers need corporate qualifications? How to receive payment without a local bank card?

Yes, you need to provide a business license for an individual business, a business license for a company, and a bank statement from another e-commerce platform to prove your work experience. It is not a big problem to not have a Taiwan bank card to receive payments. As long as you register a Payoneer wallet, you can directly bind and withdraw money to a bank card in mainland China.

3. Is local mobile phone number verification required? How to solve the logistics problem?

Cross-border accounts opened through normal channels of investment promotion in mainland China do not require local Taiwan mobile phone number verification, and can also be bound to a Payoneer account for convenient payment. As for logistics, Shopee Auctions also uses mainland China's unified cross-border logistics for delivery.

It should be noted that there are many accounts for sale on the market, and it is very mixed. You must ask clearly. If it is not a cross-border account, not only do you need to verify your mobile phone number and bind your bank card, but you also need to handle the local logistics and delivery by yourself, which is very troublesome. Friends who want to transfer their accounts must identify the cross-border accounts that can be tried in mainland China.

Shopee has a "newbie task" for new stores. Shopee will send the task to your registered email address. Only after completing the newbie task as required can the seller connect with the Shopee operations manager.
