Not necessarily.

Generally, you don’t need to pay fees to open a store online. However, you must pay a deposit for certain types of stores, otherwise you can only sell idle goods.

For example, electricity-related: mobile phones, electrical appliances, food, speaker products, or adult items. Except for the deposit of 10,000 yuan for mobile phones, the deposit for others is basically 1,000 yuan. However, you can open a store and sell concentrated types of goods at the same time, and you only need to pay a deposit of 1,000 yuan.
