Meikeduo, as a cross-border e-commerce platform, provides convenient sales channels and opportunities for global sellers. It is not only simple to open a store on Meikeduo, but also free to enter, list and rent a store. However, new sellers still need to understand some necessary policies and basic knowledge of operations during the operation.
1. Cost structure.
On the Meikeduo platform, the necessary expenses of sellers include commissions and logistics costs. In addition, sellers can choose to spend advertising and storage fees to increase store exposure and product sales.
2. Sales categories.
Meikeduo officials tend to recruit boutique sellers with vertical categories, but do not limit sales to a single category. In fact, sellers can run their stores as grocery stores and sell multiple categories of goods.
3. Language operation.
Meikeduo’s backend operation is pure English. When building product pages, it supports English input and can be automatically converted to the local language to display to consumers. Operators who are familiar with the local language can operate more localized, which is helpful for conversion rate and later communication.
Fourth, payment method.
Meikeduo platform supports various mainstream cross-border payment platforms. Sellers only need to bind their accounts in the store background to use the corresponding payment method.
Five, payment cycle.
After the buyer receives the goods, the seller’s background will display the payment information. The automatic settlement requirement is 500 US dollars, and the payment cycle after settlement is one week.
Six, currency unit.
Meikeduo front desk displays the local currency unit, but when the seller puts the goods on the shelves, the input is US dollars. The system will automatically convert it to the local currency according to the real-time exchange rate and display it on the front desk.
Seven, delivery mode.
On the Meikeduo platform, sellers can choose to ship by themselves or ship from the official overseas warehouse. At present, only Mexico and Chile support the official overseas warehouse delivery service.
Eight, official cooperative logistics and receiving warehouse.
Official overseas warehouse: After the seller chooses the first-leg logistics carrier to transport the goods to the Meikeduo official warehouse, the official is responsible for the final delivery. Self-delivery: Sellers need to send the goods to the official designated logistics carrier’s collection warehouse, and can choose warehouses in Hong Kong, Dongguan, Shenzhen, Jiaxing and other places.
Nine. The charging standards for official overseas warehouses and self-delivery.
Official overseas warehouses: The storage fee is calculated based on the volume and weight of the goods, and the final delivery fee is calculated based on the store’s reputation and the price of the goods. For specific standards, you can ask the official for a form to calculate it yourself. Self-delivery: The freight is charged based on the volume and weight of the goods. Sellers can use the freight calculator in the Meikeduo Help Center to obtain detailed fees.
Ten. Delivery time for official overseas warehouses and self-delivery.
Official overseas warehouses: Depending on the buyer’s delivery address, the delivery time is usually completed within 1-3 working days. Self-delivery: After the buyer places an order, the seller must deliver the goods to the domestic collection warehouse within 72 hours, and the logistics carrier will usually complete the delivery within 15-25 working days.
