The setup process of Alibaba distribution is as follows:

1. Register an account: First, you need to register an account on Alibaba's official website and create a distributor account in the background.

2. Review distributors: After registering distributors, the Alibaba platform will review the distributors, and the distribution business can be officially started after the review is passed.

3. Sign a contract: After the review is passed, both parties need to sign a contract to clarify the rights and obligations of the distributors, as well as specific details such as the profit ratio.

4. Open distributor permissions: After signing the contract, you need to open the distributor's permissions in the background, that is, add the distributor to the sales channel and authorize it to sell on the Alibaba platform.

5. Allocate products and prices: After opening the distributor permissions, you need to allocate your own products in the background and determine the detailed parameters such as the distributor's selling price and cost.

6. Release distribution policy: After setting the products and prices, you need to release the distribution policy in the background and make it public to distributors, including sales quantity, preferential policies, product validity period and other specific contents.

7. Supervision and maintenance: After setting the distribution policy, regular supervision and maintenance are required to ensure that distributors comply with the regulations and adjust products, prices and distribution policies according to actual conditions.

The above is the general process of Alibaba distribution. It should be pointed out that in the actual operation process, according to different product types, sales targets and market demands, the specific settings and processes will be different, and they need to be adjusted and innovated according to actual conditions.
