What are the reasons for Shopee to associate stores? What are the consequences of being associated?

Shopee cross-border e-commerce has been a popular e-commerce platform in China in the past two years, and more and more sellers have opened stores on Shopee. Like most e-commerce platforms, Shopee strictly manages store associations. What are the reasons for Shopee to associate stores?

1. What are the reasons for Shopee to associate stores?

1. Repeated entry into stores

Shopee stipulates that a seller can only have one store. In other words, a set of information can only be used to apply for an account once. Regardless of whether it passes the review, this information cannot be used to apply for a new Shopee account. Otherwise, it will be considered store-related.

2. Repeated laying of products

Among the Shopee sellers who form a store group, when opening multiple stores under different accounts, they must pay attention to the product titles, photos, etc. The products of the two stores should not be highly repeated. If discovered, the two stores will be associated.

2. Consequences of store association:

1. Remove illegal products from shelves

In the case of duplicate stores, the platform requires one of the stores to remove all products, and the punishment is relatively light.

2. Account blocking

If the violation is serious, Shopee will block one of the accounts. If the situation is very serious, both accounts may be blocked. As a result, it becomes very difficult to appeal.

3. What to do after the store is linked?

If the Shopee platform misjudged the store association, submit the store registration information, product purchase certificate and other relevant information to the platform for appeal review. Alternatively, check your own mistakes in store operation to see if the platform thinks you are operating on multiple accounts.

If the appeal is not qualified, you must reorganize your store and appeal again. You must be sincere and let Shopee know how to improve your business in the future. In that case, the probability of the complaint being approved will be higher.

If your store is linked, then it must be a duplicate store or duplicate product sale. The platform does not allow linked stores, not to mention that this phenomenon of duplicate product placement has always been severely cracked down on. Don't violate the rules!
