Shopee accounts are account services provided by the Shopee e-commerce platform for users, including two types: master accounts and sub-accounts. The master account is the account with the highest user permissions, and has the ability to log in to Shopee platform websites and applications such as the Seller Center, Seller Learning Center, and Sub-account Platform. Through the master account, users can create multiple sub-accounts and configure their permissions to manage the seller accounts and their stores bound to the master account. The master account and sub-account together constitute the Shopee account system, allowing users to effectively manage and operate their businesses on the Shopee platform1.

When applying for a Shopee account, users need to provide relevant information, such as photos of business licenses, front and back photos of legal person ID cards, etc., to complete the account registration and authentication process. In addition, users also need to fill in the settlement information form, including phone numbers and email addresses, etc., for binding payment accounts and store operations. After passing the qualification review, the user's store sales rights will be activated and can officially open for business to buyers. The entire process includes steps such as creating a master account online, opening a store and uploading products, qualification review, and sales rights activation2.

The use of Shopee accounts also involves the collection and use of personal information. Users need to understand Shopee's privacy policy when using Shopee services to understand how Shopee collects and uses user account information and personal information involved in the use of services3.
