Many novice friends saw others opening AliExpress and also wanted to “get a piece of the pie”. In fact, the procedures for registering and opening a store on AliExpress are not difficult! Even e-commerce people with zero cost and zero budget can enter! If you are also tempted, come and take a look at this registration process guide and open your cross-border e-commerce store as soon as possible!
Preliminary statement: You do not need a domestic business license to register a basic version of AliExpress. This is because the entry threshold of the basic version of the store is low. Registering a standard version of the store requires a corporate entity to register. Individuals/individual merchants are prohibited from registering (but they can convert the store type later).
The formal registration process is as follows:
1. Open the Alibaba International Edition and follow the Log in instructions to fill in your registration information step by step. Please note: All the information you submit must be true and valid, and not false or deceptive. If necessary: record the login mobile phone, login password, and login email address to save the effort of retrieving passwords and re-verifying later.
2. After setting the login password, provide the store information
It should be noted here that each store manager needs to provide two types of qualifications (category qualifications and trademark qualifications).
Since category qualifications require individuals or companies to provide legal business qualification documents, this section only needs to follow the platform’s rules and regulations and provide them as required.
However, trademark qualifications have certain particularities. Since Alibaba International and Alibaba Group share a common trademark system, if you have previously submitted a trademark qualification application in the Alibaba system, you can directly query the trademark, saving a lot of application work and waiting time. If you have not applied in advance, you can add them one by one in the system according to the prescribed steps. If your store has multiple trademarks, you can choose to add them repeatedly.
3. Establish an annual fee benchmark
After completing the submission of the above basic information, the backstage shows that all are checked and passed before proceeding to the next step. This step requires you to go to the investment promotion system and select your store type. Because the platform sets the annual fee charging benchmark based on the store type and business category, and the basic version of the store has a certain refund policy.
