Planning to grow your business and reach a wider customer base, but worried about the commission fees and shipping charges? Then, worry no more. Southeast Asia’s e-commerce giant, Shopee, headquartered in Singapore, has started recruitment procedures for sellers to start their business in India. After successfully spreading its branches across the southeast Asian countries like Indonesia, Vietnam, Taiwan, etc., it has recently launched its services in Latin American countries like Mexico, Chile, and Colombia earlier this year. Even, Shopee’s official app had become the most downloaded e-commerce app in Brazil.
With various interesting and exciting offers for sellers and buyers, Shopee plans to compete with India’s current giant e-commerce players, Flipkart and Amazon. In this article, we will learn how sellers can register themselves on Shopee and start selling their products.
India’s e-commerce market, which Flipkart and Amazon dominate, is expected to reach $133 billion by 2025 from $24 billion in 2018. The $172 billion company, Shopee, has various exciting plans to attract sellers to register themselves on its platform. The company has stated that it will provide zero commission for sellers and buyers and offer free shipping for all its products. Sellers on Shopee will also get their payments in a regular interval of time, making them stay with the company.
Shopee comes with its official app for both iOS and Android platforms. With this easy-to-navigate app, you can control all your shipments and payments. Here are the various steps for sellers to register themselves on Shopee:
Apart from the app, you can also sign-up through the Shopee website on your desktop. But, Shopee promotes itself as a mobile-first platform, so it is recommended to continue with your sign-up procedure on its app, which you can download from Apple’s App Store and Google’s Playstore.
By tapping the ‘Me’ tab on the app, you can access the sign-up and login option on the profile page. You can create an account using your phone number, email address, Facebook, or Google account. This sign-up process is similar to Ajio’s; if you face any issue, you can visit the ‘How to register as a seller on Ajio’ page and clear your doubts. So, after you have signed up, you need to verify your email address and phone number, whichever you have used to complete the sign-up process. Once you verify your email address, you can log in to your Shopee account.
After successfully logging into your account, you can go to the ‘Start Selling’ tab. You need to set up the infamous Shopee wallet to receive your payments and accept the orders here. Sellers can also set up a Shopee Pay Account by entering their name, date of birth, and any ID proof issued by the Government.
Listing out your products is the most important part for any seller. By going to the ‘Me’ tab and clicking the ‘Add New Product’, you will be able to upload your products’ images using your phone’s gallery or Instagram. As the customers will not be able to touch or feel the products on their hands, you must upload eye-pleasing or visually appealing photos to make a purchase. After uploading the image, you need to add the product title, specifications, and other important descriptions about the product. Then, you can click ‘Submit’ to list out your product ready for purchasing.
Why limit your sales for your local customers when you can reach larger customers and increase your sales to new heights. Shopee comes with a wide range of products and user-friendly features to attract customers of all ages. As a seller, the brand will allow you to make your sale and ship your products to your customers without spending a lot of money, which will increase your profits and double your revenue. Join Shopee and make your entrepreneurial dream come true.
