As the shopee platform becomes more and more complete, the number of Chinese sellers continues to increase. Shopee is a local e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia. The platform is divided into Chinese sellers and local sellers. In daily sales competition, the diversification of product lines has always been the advantage of Chinese sellers, and the fast logistics speed has always been the advantage of local sellers. After all, as a Chinese seller, goods need to travel across the ocean.
For this reason, shopee has opened an overseas warehouse function, which allows Chinese sellers to store goods to warehouses in local countries and issue orders directly from the local delivery. In terms of logistics timeliness, they compete with local sellers, which further expands the advantages of Chinese sellers. .
However, it has been several months since Shopee's overseas warehouse function has been activated, and most of them are used by some old sellers and big sellers. New sellers know little about overseas warehouses. Our article here mainly introduces and popularizes shopee overseas warehouse knowledge and comprehensive Q&A.
