After the order is generated, we can see the order status on the “My Order” page in the Shopee Seller Center. If the buyer completes the payment, the order status is pending shipment. At this time we need to process the order. This This section mainly explains the processing process after the order is generated.
If we have the goods ourselves, we can directly enter the order processing stage. However, if we do not produce or keep inventory, we need to purchase goods according to the order. The most convenient way is to find the source of goods on major domestic e-commerce platforms. Commonly used websites for finding sources of goods include Taobao, 1688, etc.
We can use the product image search function in 1688 or Taobao to upload product images to find sources of the same style.
When selecting suppliers, we need to comprehensively consider product cost, logistics cost, transportation time, reviews from purchased customers, etc. Some products are cheaper on Taobao than on 1688. For products of the same price, it is recommended to purchase them on Taobao, because Taobao sellers may be better in terms of delivery timeliness, product packaging, and inspection before delivery.
The Shopee platform requires 2 days of stocking time for non-pre-sale supply, so we must pay attention to the delivery speed and the stability of the supply. The lower the price of the purchased goods, the better. We should give priority to fast delivery.
Suppliers with a large number of positive reviews, especially when the price gap is not large. In actual purchases, we can also use the marketing activities of e-commerce platforms to save costs. For example, Taobao App has a “red envelope money saving card” function, which can be used to deduct after reaching a certain consumption amount. If Taobao sellers have opened Taobao Alliance, etc. Promotion services, then Shopee platform sellers can also use promotion platforms such as “Alimama” to earn commissions while purchasing goods and save costs.
