How to register a Shopee account? Steps

If you want to open a Shopee store, you first need a Shopee account. You need to provide complete information to register an account. After the platform is reviewed, you can have your own account. So how do you register a Shopee account? What information do you need to prepare?

1. First of all, you need to prepare the following materials:

You need to prepare four types of documents to open a shop on Shopee: business license, legal person ID card, other e-commerce platform transactions and contact information. Let me tell you about them one by one:

1. Business license

The business license can be a company business license or an individual business license. There are no specific requirements for this, as long as you have it.

The business license is only used when moving in, and the subsequent operations have almost nothing to do with the license. In addition, the business license of the company and the business license of the individual business owner are the same for the shops applied for, with no difference.

Some people have also asked, if my Shopee store is successfully opened, can I cancel the business license? We do not recommend cancellation. Although the business license is only used for store opening certification, Shopee may review it later, so it is better to keep it.

2. Legal person ID card

The legal person's ID card is the ID card of the person whose name is on your business license. There is no need to explain too much about this. If you purchase the information, you must ask them to provide a short video of the legal person holding the ID card, because some audits will ask you to provide it!

3. E-commerce turnover

Shopee divides e-commerce transactions into two types. One is domestic e-commerce transactions, which are commonly used by Taobao, JD.com, Pinduoduo, Alibaba, Suning, etc.

It should be noted that domestic e-commerce transaction records do not include transaction records from social e-commerce platforms such as WeChat and second-tier e-commerce platforms such as TikTok, because Shopee cannot verify the authenticity of such transaction records.

The other is cross-border e-commerce transactions, which include Amazon, AliExpress, Wish and other common cross-border e-commerce platforms.

Shopee has certain requirements for e-commerce turnover, which must be from the last three months. For example, if you apply to open a store in December, you must provide e-commerce turnover from September, October, and November. There is no high requirement for the amount of e-commerce turnover, as long as it is there.

In addition, Shopee requires that the SPU of stores that provide cash flow must be greater than 50, otherwise they may not pass the review. Although this is not a mandatory requirement, everyone can try to meet it.

The transaction record is submitted in the form of screenshots.

4. Contact information

When we apply for Shopee, we need to provide two contact methods, one is our mobile phone number, and the other is our QQ email address. This does not need too much explanation.

There is another point I need to emphasize, that is, the information we use to open a store is unique, that is, any information can only be used once. Regardless of whether the store is successfully reviewed, it cannot be submitted again later. Therefore, before submitting, you must ensure that your information is accurate and meets Shopee's store opening requirements.

Settlement process:

(1) Submit an application for admission

(2) Submit the application for parent-child accounts and submit company information for verification

(3) Waiting for preliminary review and re-review

(4) Successfully opened a store

After successfully opening a store, you need to pay attention to the following points:

(1) After successfully opening the store, please complete the 50 SKUs as soon as possible. Within a week, the operations manager will send an email to the seller to activate the corporate WeChat. Please pay attention to the email (sometimes it will appear in the spam folder);

(2) The first three months are the incubation period for new sellers. Sellers can also learn about the early stages of opening a store through Shopee University (https://shopee.cn/college) on the official website (almost all sellers do).

(3) If you have any questions about store operations during the incubation period, you can contact the operations manager or follow the WeChat public account "Shopee Ask" for consultation.

(4) Each business license can only be applied for one store at a time. Once the requirements are met, you can apply to the manager for a new store.

Tips: Try to open more stores during the three-month incubation period, because after the incubation period, if you join the customer service team, you will not be able to open a store again!

Compared with other platforms, Shopee registration is just like kindergarten level. You can do it by yourself. Don't listen to the scams of the agencies that cut leeks, saying there is a green channel or that your registration pass rate is low. These statements are all created by them.
