As one of the largest original handmade ** sales platforms in the United States, Etsy is quite competitive in cross-border e-commerce with its advantages of high store profits, low platform commissions, and low platform homogeneity. However, it is not easy to open a store on Etsy, because Etsy real stores have high requirements for the environment and the operation of sellers.
During the store registration process, sellers need to submit personal information and relevant supporting documents, such as ID cards**, and store operation certificates. Such an audit process helps verify the seller's true identity and confirm that they are operating legally. Etsy ensures that only real individuals and legitimate businesses can set up shop to reduce the frequency of fraudulent merchants.
The real store is undoubtedly the most reliable and the most stable in the process of store operation, but to build a durable Etsy real store, there are other difficulties besides real information, which are listed here for you one by one.
The most important thing for the store is: deduct credit card, environmental IP, identity materials, and register the store's products.
1. Charge credit card
Etsy supports a variety of payment methods, including credit cards. However, the difficulty lies in the security card segment, which must be clean at the beginning, otherwise the store will inevitably be banned or restricted in subsequent operations.
2. Environmental IP
In the early stage, always use the same computer device to log in, do not switch devices and IP frequently, it is recommended that one account fix a browser and IP, and do not use a shared IP, to use a clean residential IP.
It sounds like a complicated problem, but it can be solved with maskfog. Fingerprint browser can create multiple browser profiles at the same time, open multiple independent and clean browser environments, and do not bind independent IPs to each environment, maskfog also provides static exclusive residential IPs suitable for e-commerce account operation, and can be directly bound to one environment.
3. Identity materials
The seller needs to provide documents**: ID card or passport** number: foreign**, but do not need to receive a verification code, just fill it in.
Foreign mailbox: It is not recommended to use a domestic mailbox, because the domestic mailbox itself is easy to block, so it is recommended to use Gmail.
Address: It must be a real address, which can be used to find local information, or find a real address through specific channels and use it legally.
Receiving account: Use a virtual account opened on platforms such as Pingpong, Wanlihui, and Photonic. However, the type of currency to be opened should be the same as the currency type of the target country.
4. Products
ESTY is a platform that pays more attention to the originality of products, and the products selected are best original handmade products. The product information that needs to be prepared includes:
Product introduction map: It must be handmade and original, and the production project is related to ** **It needs to be taken by yourself, clear and specific, reflecting the originality of the product, and finally uploaded to the aboutshop page when you upload the product.
English listing of the product: clear and specific expression, you can refer to the rest of the competing products but do not repeat.
All in all, the above 4 factors are half of the success in the preparation for the construction of the Etsy store, laying a solid and objective foundation for the store, and we can give full play to our subjective initiative to make efforts for the operation of the store.
