How to set up an avatar on Shopee? What should I pay attention to?

After registering a Shopee store, you need to make some basic settings for your store, including the store avatar, store name, store introduction, store return address, etc. So today I will introduce the specific steps on how to set up the avatar on Shopee!

Generally, we put an avatar related to the product we are selling in the store. For example, if we sell maternal and child products, we will put a picture of a beautiful mother holding her child or playing with the child, etc. If we sell pets, we will put a pet's avatar, and so on.

I should also say here that once you change the store name, you can only change it again one month later, so you must think it over before writing it, and don’t change it casually, otherwise it will be troublesome if you want to change it later.

Other pictures and descriptions can be modified at any time, but I suggest that you make small-scale modifications and avoid replacing them frequently, as this will not have a good impact on the store's weight and customer familiarity.

In our store settings, there is an item to set store pictures and YouTube videos. What are these two used for?

The store pictures are actually equivalent to the homepage posters of our Taobao stores. On Shopee, we can set up 5 store pictures. What will the content of their design be?

Generally, in the first picture we will set the main activities of our current store, such as free shipping for 299, New Year’s Festival, etc. In the second picture we will put a style display picture of our store, and the following can be pictures of our main products and some fan-maintained activity pictures, etc.

We generally set the poster image size to 1200*600, which can ensure the clarity of the image and have enough space to display our store content.

As for YouTube videos, we need to upload them using a mobile app. We can make a promotional video of our store and put it up. At present, this is not particularly important, so there are not many sellers who make YouTube videos.

What to do after activating a store on Shopee?

1. Complete the task of uploading new products. The task for newbies on Shopee is generally to upload 50 products within one week after completing registration. When we have uploaded 50 products, the official Shopee will arrange for us to connect with the operations manager. The operations manager plays an important role in our future registration activities, promotional activities, platform rules, change information, etc., all of which need to be approved by the operations manager.

2. Simple decoration of the store. Compared with Taobao in our country, the decoration of Shopee is relatively simple. We need to set the store's avatar, name, introduction, and pictures. The name and avatar should be related to the product category we want to do. The store's pictures can include our main products, promotions, but no more than five pictures. The store introduces our products, what activities are available, business philosophy, logistics, after-sales and other issues.

3. Determine our delivery method. After the Shopee store places an order, we need to send the product to the Shopee warehouse, which will be delivered by Shopee's official logistics. It should be noted that the Shopee warehouse only accepts goods with Shopee labels. Our domestic logistics will not accept them. In the meantime, we need a freight forwarder to help us with the labels. Another point is that when registering a Shopee store, the default delivery warehouse is the Shenzhen warehouse. If you want to ship to Yiwu or Shanghai warehouse, you need to submit an application to change the warehouse.

I hope everyone understands that on the Shopee Taiwan site, our name is generally the English name + business category. This is easy to remember and everyone knows what we do. The Taiwan site now basically uses this naming format.
