Detailed explanation of JD International store types

1. JD Buyer Store: Easily purchase overseas brands

JD Buyer Store is a special store type of JD International, which mainly focuses on purchasing and selling overseas brand products. This type of store does not require brand authorization and purchase certificates, which lowers the entry threshold and makes it easy for individual business owners and individuals to enter. Sellers need to prepare copies of the front and back of the operator’s ID card, a letter of authenticity commitment, and proof of purchase from the entrusted buyer and other relevant information. If the information is incomplete, you can seek help from the service provider.

2. Ordinary corporate stores: helping companies without brand qualifications to take off

JD.com’s general corporate stores are specially designed for companies without brand qualifications and strength, providing valuable business opportunities. To enter an ordinary enterprise store, you need to have legal business qualifications, stable supply chain resources, and genuine product guarantee and after-sales service capabilities. The store naming is flexible and can be modified later. Although only some categories of applications are currently supported, this still provides market opportunities for companies without brand qualifications.

3. International whitelist stores: you can thrive without brand authorization

JD International whitelist stores allow sellers to list multiple big-name products without brand authorization. To enter the whitelist store, you need to meet certain qualification requirements, including a company entity registered overseas or in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, a legal person ID card, an overseas US dollar settlement account, and a fixed domestic authorized return address. If the brand qualifications are insufficient, sellers can also seek help from professional services to quickly complete the entry process.

How do novice sellers choose a settlement method?

1. Which one is more suitable for your product?

As a seller, you first need to consider product features and target market. JD.com’s self-operated products mainly target domestic consumers, have strict requirements on product quality, and have a complete after-sales service system. Suitable for products that pursue dual guarantees of quality and service. JD International focuses on meeting consumer demand for overseas goods, mainly selling imported goods and overseas brands. Suitable for products with unique international background or features.

2. What are the differences between the entry conditions and procedures?

JD.com’s self-operation requires sellers to have a stable supply chain and quality assurance capabilities, and to provide relevant qualification certificates and product information. The entry process is relatively simple. JD International has higher requirements on sellers’ overseas background and import channels, and must provide relevant import and export qualifications and product certificates. The settlement process may involve more links, such as customs filing, tax payment, etc.

3. How to choose the appropriate entry method based on your own business characteristics?

Comprehensively consider factors such as business characteristics, product characteristics, target markets, entry conditions and processes. If the product is mainly for the domestic market, JD.com Self-Operation may be more suitable; if the product has a unique international background or characteristics, JD.com International may be more suitable. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to changes in platform policies and market dynamics, and adjust strategies in a timely manner.
