Amazon is the big brother of global cross-border e-commerce. China has the most seller accounts registered on the North American site. So what is the process of opening a store on Amazon North America? Let's take a look.
First, things to know before opening a store. If novice sellers want to open up the North American market through Amazon, they need to understand the product categories that can currently be sold in North America, store opening guidelines, and related fees before opening a store. This will ensure that your products can be sold on Amazon North America or have the potential to become a hit.
1. The store opening procedures include Amazon store opening rules and an overview of the products that can be sold on the North American site. The products that can be sold on the North American site include open categories and categories that require approval. The categories that require approval require prior approval from Amazon. Only sellers with a Professional selling plan can sell products in these categories.
2. Account Registration. Usually sellers need to prepare the following information before registering an account:
1) Name
2) Register email address
3) number
4) Postal Code
5) Billing address
5) Credit card number. It should be noted here that the credit card submitted by the seller is a dual currency card and supports foreign currency payment and online payment functions. Usually, the dual-currency credit cards we see in China are usually issued by Visa or Mastercard, but according to experienced people, Visa is more secure than Mastercard.
3. Store opening costs. In order to control the cost of opening a store, you need to understand Amazon’s North American sales plan and pricing rules. Because Amazon accounts are divided into two types: "Professional Selling Plan" and "Personal Selling Plan", the corresponding pricing rules are also different. Typically, the cost of a professional sales plan includes three aspects: monthly rental of $39.9, sales commission and transaction fees.
