It is actually very easy to become a seller on AliExpress, especially if you have experience in opening a Taobao store. Even if you have never done this before, it doesn’t matter. You can have your own overseas store by completing the following four steps.
Like Taobao, if you want to open a store on AliExpress, you must first register an account. Enter the AliExpress Global Seller Channel and click the “Free Registration” hyperlink to open the AliExpress General Member Free Registration Page. On the registration page, you can register via email.
When registering via email, fill in your personal information on the page to create an account and complete the registration. After successfully registering for free, if you want to publish products, you also need to complete identity verification and set up a payment account. The specific steps are as follows.
step01 Fill in the account information accurately and completely.
The following are some notes to note when filling in the registration form.
(1) Fill in the correct email address and mobile phone number. Your orders and other information on the AliExpress platform will be sent to your registered email address in the form of emails, so be sure to fill in a commonly used and accurate email address when registering. Fill in a real and valid mobile phone number to ensure that you can receive the verification code.
(2) Fill in your real name. When registering, make sure that the personal information you fill in is accurate and true so that you can receive payment smoothly after placing an order.
(3) Accurately fill in your industry background and experience information. Accurately fill in your industry, experience model and online experience information to receive a training program tailored for you by AliExpress.
step02 Verify your email address.
After filling in the registration form, you need to complete email verification to ensure that your email address is correct and valid.
(1) After filling in the registration form and submitting it, enter the “Email Verification” page. If the confirmation is correct, you can directly check the email in your mailbox. If the email address is incorrect or you have not received the email, you can change the email address according to the prompts.
(2) Enter the registered email address and you will see the verification email sent by the system.
(3) View the email body and click the “Click here to confirm” button. If the button is not displayed or cannot be clicked, you can copy the link in the email to the browser address bar.
(4) Enter the “Email Verification Success” page.
step03 Real-name authentication.
In order to ensure transaction security, ordinary members need to undergo identity authentication. Only after passing the authentication can the products released by the seller be displayed on the front desk. The authentication steps are as follows.
(1) Confirm whether you have an Alipay account.
Case 1: No Alipay account. If you do not have an Alipay account, you cannot perform identity authentication. In addition, the seller’s payment must also be completed through an Alipay account. Therefore, an Alipay account is very important for AliExpress transactions. Sellers who do not have an Alipay account need to register an Alipay account first.
Case 2: You have an Alipay account. Confirm whether the Alipay account has passed the Alipay real-name authentication. If it has not passed the Alipay real-name authentication, you also need to complete the Alipay real-name authentication first.
(2) If you have already registered an Alipay account and passed the Alipay real-name authentication, you can log in to your AliExpress account and enter the “Personal Center” page. If the account is not authenticated, the system will prompt the seller to “Start authentication now”. Click it to enter the “Identity Real-name Authentication” page. If the seller’s account has been authenticated, it will display “Alipay authentication successful”.
Click the “Authorize Now” button on the “Identity Real-Name Authentication” page.
The page will jump to the Alipay login page. If you have an Alipay account that has passed Alipay authentication, you can choose to use this account for real-name authentication.
If you submit an Alipay account that has passed Alipay real-name authentication, you can check whether the authentication information is correct.
Confirm that the information is correct, click the “Submit Authentication” button, and the system will prompt that the authentication is successful.
After the authentication is successful, you can go to “My AliExpress” and start your AliExpress journey.
