How to open a store on Amazon? What types of stores are available?

In fact, in addition to AliExpress, many merchants doing trade will also choose to open stores on Amazon. However, for merchants who are not familiar with these platforms, they actually don’t know how to open a store on this platform? Many times, everyone is still relatively unfamiliar with this type of store opening, so today I will teach you how to open a store on Amazon.

What types of stores are available?

1. Choose the right type before opening a store:

(1) Personal account.

(2) Professional account.

2. Create an account:

The process of creating a seller account is slightly modified every six months, but the general approach is similar.

1. Log in to the website and click sell on at the bottom.

2. Click start selling.

3. Then, enter the seller’s personal information, billing address and deposit method, tax information and product information according to the prompts to complete the account creation.

3. Store research and product selection:

Not everything can be sold on Amazon. Some items require review, such as clothing, shoes, beauty products, digital product accessories, watches, and food, which are the most popular products sold by Chinese sellers.

Jewelry is no longer accepted. If you need a POV barcode to list your own products, you can buy it online. When selecting products, sellers mainly consider price advantage and product creativity.

Sellers who want to open a store can first search for similar products and check the prices of the top sellers. If the price cannot be lowered, it will be difficult for new sellers to generate sales. In addition, the product must be creative. If there are fewer sellers selling similar products on it, it is easier to stand out. Secondly, the transportation cost and storage cost caused by quality and volume must also be considered.

Logistics. When doing domestic e-commerce, we also know that good express delivery and delivery process are very critical to user satisfaction. When doing cross-border e-commerce, the choice of logistics becomes even more important. Of course, Amazon also provides sellers with official FBA logistics and delivery services.

In addition to products, marketing plans are equally important. There are so many products and competitors on Amazon. How can you make your products stand out from these competitors and be displayed?

This requires the help of a marketing plan. For example, if the competitor’s listing already has a lot of volume and reviews, it would be very difficult for the new listing to rank higher than it. How can the product be displayed at this time? This requires thinking about marketing to increase orders, reviews, and exposure for the product.

If you want to open a store on Amazon, you can first look at the application requirements, because some products are not allowed to be sold on it. It is recommended that you look at the types of products currently sold, and then choose suitable products based on these situations, and then apply for entry on the official website. This would be better.
