AliExpress currently does not accept individual stores. According to the latest policy, AliExpress does not accept individual applications for settlement. Only companies with brands or authorized businesses can settle in. In addition, the AliExpress platform has certain requirements for the settlement entities, such as requiring the settlers to provide real qualifications, and does not accept false qualifications. In terms of trademark registration, AliExpress does not accept brand store applications that have not obtained a trademark registration certificate or trademark acceptance notice issued by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, nor does it accept settlement applications for pure graphic trademarks.

Although individual industrial and commercial households could open AliExpress stores before, since December 15, 2021, AliExpress has closed the entrance for individual industrial and commercial households to settle in the platform. Now individual industrial and commercial households can only settle in through corporate identities3. Therefore, for individuals or individual industrial and commercial households who want to open a store on AliExpress, the current options are limited, and they need to take these changes and restrictions into consideration.
