Next, sellers need to fill in the complete information in English as required. Please note that the registered email address cannot be QQ mailbox, so please prepare an email address that meets the requirements.
Step 2: Submit necessary documents.
After completing the registration, Cdiscount will send an account manager to contact the sellers. At this stage, sellers need to provide some important documents so that the platform can review the sellers’ qualifications. These documents include:
Business license: Ensure that the sellers’ companies have been legally registered and have legal operating qualifications.
Legal person ID card: Verify the sellers’ identities to ensure that the sellers are legal representatives of the company.
Scanned copy of payment information: Provide the sellers’ bank account information so that Cdiscount can transfer the sales proceeds to the sellers’ accounts.
The submission of these documents will help the platform ensure that only qualified sellers can sell goods on it. The review process may take some time, but once the sellers’ documents are approved, sellers can take the first step to open a store.
