How much does it cost to register for Shopee's cross-border e-commerce? What are the fees?

After comparing multiple cross-border e-commerce platforms, many friends finally chose the Shopee platform. Indeed, the status of this platform cannot be underestimated. Next, let’s follow everyone to find out how much it costs to register for Shopee’s cross-border e-commerce!

There is no need to pay any money to open a store on the Shopee cross-border e-commerce platform. The platform does not charge any deposit or guarantee. However, you need to pay a commodity transaction commission to the platform three months after opening the store. The transaction commission is calculated based on the store level.

If a first-level store generates merchandise revenue greater than or equal to US$1 million, the platform will charge a 3% commission; if a second-level store generates merchandise revenue greater than or equal to US$500,000, the platform will charge a 4% commission; if a third-level store generates merchandise revenue less than US$500,000, the platform will charge a 5% commission.

In general, it is quite affordable to open a store on the Shopee e-commerce platform, but there are still some barriers to opening a store:

Required information: legal person ID card, business license of the enterprise or business license of the individual business, store transaction details of the domestic trade platform (Taobao, Tmall, etc.) or cross-border platform (Amazon, AliExpress, etc.) in the past three months, and a mobile phone number and email address that have not been registered with Shopee.

Shopee cross-border e-commerce platform commission, commission is mainly divided into the following three levels

Level 1: The total amount of orders completed last month is ≥ 1 million US dollars, and the commission rate of each site is 5%

Level 2: The total amount of orders completed last month is ≥ 500,000 US dollars, and the commission rate of each site is 5.5%

Level 3: The total amount of orders completed last month is less than 500,000 US dollars, and the commission rate of each site is 6%

The commission fee is based on the total amount of orders completed last month, excluding the shipping fee. The commission fee is applicable to the month starting from the 16th of the next month.

Shopee provides a three-month commission-free period to new sellers who enter the platform for the first time. The commission-free period for new sellers on each site is calculated from the date the seller opens a store on the corresponding platform.

Example: The total amount of orders completed in July is 1.2 million US dollars, then the commission rate from August 16 to September 15 is 5%; the total amount of orders completed in July is 950,000 US dollars, then the commission rate from August 16 to September 15 is 5.5%;

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.
