1. Register a Taobao account: This is the first and most critical step of Taobao crowdfunding. Without this step, there is no Taobao crowdfunding. Open Taobao.com, there is a registration button on the right side of the page, click the button to enter the registration interface, but an agreement dialog box will pop up soon, be sure to agree, and start registering according to the steps after the dialog box disappears. It is very simple.

2. Perform Alipay real-name authentication: Alipay real-name authentication is a necessary condition, because the crowdfunding funds rely on Alipay to be collected and used, so this step is very critical. Generally, registering for Taobao membership will allow you to bind an Alipay account immediately, and then enter Alipay for real-name authentication, which requires your ID number and mobile phone number, etc.

3. Complete Taobao store authentication: To conduct Taobao crowdfunding, you need to open a store on Taobao. This is probably very different from other crowdfunding, but there are currently several companies that require opening a store before crowdfunding. It is very easy to open a store on Taobao. The only thing to note is that the ID card must be the same as the one for Alipay. You need to hold the ID card and take a photo for authentication. Just pay attention to this point.

4. Initiate project application: The first three steps are the preparation conditions for Taobao crowdfunding. Without those conditions, you cannot participate in crowdfunding. From this step, you will enter the formal crowdfunding stage. Initiating a project application is to refine your creativity and dreams into a specific project and apply for it on the Taobao crowdfunding platform.

5. Platform review: After the project application is successful and submitted, it will enter the platform review stage. Generally, the second person on the crowdfunding platform will reply to you within 15 days.
