AliExpress product release process and precautions
With the continuous development of the e-commerce industry, many companies choose to publish products on online platforms to expand the market. As a professional platform with huge traffic, AliExpress has a complete product release process to help companies bring products to the market more efficiently and safely.
Register an account
For first-time merchants, the first step is to register an AliExpress account. The AliExpress platform allows free account registration. You only need to provide relevant information as required to complete the registration and put it into use. It is recommended that enterprises provide true information when registering for subsequent real-name authentication.
Publish products
Banned and restricted products
If you upload banned or restricted products that cannot be published on AliExpress, you will definitely not be able to publish them successfully. Prohibited products include but are not limited to firearms and ammunition, drugs, flammable and explosive goods, etc. Restricted products refer to items that require pre-approval, business vouchers, or authorized business before sale. For specific product categories, please refer to the “AliExpress Prohibited and Restricted Product Catalog”.
Infringing products
Products that infringe intellectual property rights cannot be published, especially when using Taobao consignment or moving tools to upload other people’s products, which may easily involve infringement of trademarks, patents, copyrights and other issues.
Search for cheating
Search cheating will result in product search rankings being low, or even account freezes or store closures.
