Opening an affiliated store (or second store, new site, etc.) on the Shopee platform requires certain procedures and conditions.

The following is a clear summary of the steps and conditions:

1. Basic conditions for opening an affiliated store

Business license: Both personal and corporate business licenses must be valid and have not been used on the Shopee platform. For self-employed individuals, it is usually necessary to provide domestic e-commerce turnover; while corporate business licenses can choose to open the first store in more sites.

Proof of business ability: It is usually necessary to provide e-commerce turnover or sales records for the past three months to prove your business ability and sales performance. These records need to be clear and true, and avoid using false information.

Complete novice tasks: After opening the first store, you need to complete the novice tasks specified by the platform, which usually include uploading products, conducting marketing activities, etc., to familiarize yourself with the platform operation and increase the activity of the store.

Connect with the Operation Manager: After completing the novice tasks, you need to connect with Shopee's Operation Manager to get more guidance and support. At the same time, this is also an important step in applying to open an affiliated store.

No counterfeit goods: Make sure that your store does not sell counterfeit goods or fakes. This is the basic requirement of the Shopee platform for sellers.

Activate WeChat for Business: In some cases, you need to activate WeChat for Business in order to better communicate and collaborate with the Shopee platform.
