How much does it cost to register an Amazon store? Is it expensive?

Now the development of cross-border e-commerce platforms is quite good, and more and more people are starting to register Amazon stores. If you want to open an Amazon store, you need to meet the requirements. So how much does it cost to register an Amazon store? The following is an introduction.

First of all, it’s the money to register the store.

People often ask whether it is personal registration or company registration?

Try to use company registration. At present, the pass rate for individual registration is extremely low. Even if you pass it by chance, it is very easy to trigger an audit later, and the pass rate of the audit will be even lower.

There is no fee for registering a store, but you should be wary of any charges for registering a store.

But if you want to use a company to register, then you need to register a company first. The fee here mainly refers to the fee for registering the company.

If you register the company yourself, it is actually basically free, but if you want to hire an accounting firm to do the accounting, it may cost around 150-200 per month.

Amazon’s monthly store rental is US$39.99 per month for professional-level accounts and there is no monthly rental for personal-level accounts.

When your store is closed, you will start collecting monthly rent.

Many people may not upload products immediately after registering a store. At this time, you can change your store level to personal mode, which can save you some monthly rent expenses.

When you actually upload the product, you can switch the store to professional mode. You can do it yourself in the seller backend.

The first batch of stocking costs needs to be calculated based on your own product selection.

Some people have sufficient funds and may prefer high-priced products when selecting products. This will raise the threshold to a certain level and the competition will not be so fierce.

Some people do not have sufficient funds, so they need to start with low-priced products, and the cost of stocking the first batch may be much less.

In short, this depends on your own financial strength and resource situation.

Generally, the first batch of stock is 200-500 units, and then multiply it by the purchase price of the product to get the amount of this expense.

Domestic logistics costs are the costs of transporting your goods from the factory to the first destination you cooperate with.

As we all know, Taobao in China now generally offers free shipping across the country, but on the 1688 website where cross-border sellers purchase goods, basically all products are not free shipping.

That is to say, in addition to paying for the purchase of the product, you also need to pay for the transportation of the product to the port.

The cost will not be very high because factories generally have long-term logistics cooperation and the price will generally be slightly lower than the market price.

The first-leg cost is the cost of transporting goods from the Chinese port to the Amazon warehouse. We call the distance from the Chinese port to the Amazon warehouse "first-leg transportation."

The amount of this fee depends on the attributes of your product.

Products with larger weight or volume are suitable for sea transportation, so that your first-leg freight can be controlled within a reasonable range.

Small items, such as headphones, mobile phone films and other products, are suitable for air transportation, and the first-mile cost of a single product is not high.

Air and sea freight are divided into fast and slow lines. The price of air freight is about 22-38 yuan per kilogram, and the price of sea freight is about 8-13 yuan per kilogram.

Choose different transportation methods according to your own product attributes and operating methods.

Based on the above 5 fees, you can open an Amazon store and upload the products you have selected.

Use a calculator to add up the above five costs, and then combine them with the price of your products on Amazon to clearly get your approximate gross profit.

However, successfully uploading the product is not the end of the operation, on the contrary, it is just the beginning of the operation.

If you want your product to be sold successfully, you will continue to pay the following fees.

The FBA fee for the product is the fee that Amazon charges for a series of services including sorting, warehousing, shipping, and delivery.

This fee accounts for a large proportion of the cost and is the largest type of fee incurred by Amazon FBA sellers.

After reading the above content, everyone should know how much it costs to register an Amazon store. It is easy to open an Amazon store. As long as you meet the requirements, you can register. The difficulty lies in the operation of the Amazon store in the later stage, which is not an easy task.
