How to settle the shipping fee of Shopee Taiwan? What is the calculation method?

There are many domestic merchants opening stores on Shopee Taiwan, so the logistics when shipping will be more troublesome than sending to domestic addresses, because it needs to go through customs. The freight settlement after such an operation will be much higher. How to settle the freight of Shopee Taiwan specifically? Find out below.

As part of the most promising Southeast Asian market this year, Shopee Taiwan has attracted many people who want to get a piece of the pie. The logistics and shipping costs of the Taiwan site are different from those of other sites.

The logistics channel used by the Taiwan site is: YTO; every 500g/NTD, assuming the weight of your product is: 1.5kg, for general goods, it is: 0.5 times 70 + 1 times 30 = 65 New Taiwan dollars (14.2 yuan) for special goods, it is: 0.5 times 90 + 1 times 40 = 85 New Taiwan dollars (18.6 yuan). However, because Shopee will hide prices, the first weight of general goods is 70 New Taiwan dollars; the front desk defaults to 55 New Taiwan dollars, and a price of 15 New Taiwan dollars needs to be hidden. The first weight of special goods is 90 New Taiwan dollars; the front desk defaults to 60 New Taiwan dollars, and a price of 30 New Taiwan dollars needs to be hidden. The above is the shipping fee calculation method of Shopee Taiwan Station.

For stores on e-commerce platforms, the pricing of store products will also directly affect product sales, because buyers are also very sensitive to product prices. If you want to make buyers willing to buy your products, then the store also needs to make reasonable settings when pricing. So, in this case, how should the products of Shopee stores be priced?

Generally, the price is calculated from the cost price of the product + domestic logistics fee + freight forwarder packaging fee + platform delivery fee + desired profit. Generally, the price is set in this way. As long as the price is set in this way, there will generally be no loss. However, one thing to remember is that you cannot change the original price for discounts. Do not change the original price. Do not change the original price 15 days after changing the original price before giving a discount. Otherwise, it will be considered a false discount by the platform. So when you upload the product, you must remember to set the original price higher before giving a discount.

Every store has traffic-generating products and profit-making products. Traffic-generating products are priced low, and their main purpose is to attract traffic to the store, with no profit or even loss. But sometimes customers who come in will not buy just one, and often choose to buy a combination. Here you can use the combination pricing method to set a hard indicator of a certain amount before shipping; in this way, the overall price does not seem high, and customers do not mind buying more; or use combination sales, you need to buy this one together with another; a single one is very cheap, but it must be purchased in combination. In short, whether you choose to go for a low price or a high price depends on your personal actual situation. Both make money and lose money.

This is the end of the introduction to the shipping settlement method of Taiwan Shopee stores. What is certain is that the shipping costs of cross-border e-commerce are definitely much higher than domestic shipping costs, and various tariffs must be paid. Therefore, if you want to open a cross-border e-commerce store, you need to have some knowledge of various tariffs.
