On Amazon, you can choose to open a store. When opening a store, in addition to choosing the store type, you also need to choose the relevant site. The same conditions are required for opening a store. What are the requirements for opening an Amazon UK site?

1. What do I need to open an Amazon UK site?

1. Account registration: first register an account on Amazon UK and submit the corresponding account and contact information;

2. Business qualifications: Business license, tax registration certificate and other supporting documents are required;

3. Product qualifications: If you sell special products such as food, cosmetics, detergents, etc., you need to provide the manufacturer's qualification certificate;

4. Payment method: You need to provide relevant information of the merchant account and other relevant payment methods, such as PayPal, bank card, etc.;

5. Express delivery service: You need to cooperate with the express delivery service provided by Amazon, have sufficient storage space and storage management personnel;

6. Safety measures: In order to ensure the safety of the products purchased by customers, product testing and inspection must be carried out in accordance with British safety standards.

2. Advantages of selling on Amazon UK:

1. Fast-growing market

Amazon UK is the third largest market in terms of sales for Amazon worldwide, serving 67 million British consumers. Despite its small population, the UK has a very high e-commerce penetration rate.

After a growth of about 10% in recent years, it shows the rapid growth of the UK market.

2. Amazon review synchronization function

In recent years, Amazon has made a series of changes to its review system, one of which is the introduction of a one-click review synchronization feature.

Previously, Amazon sellers usually started from scratch without any reviews when launching their business in different European markets. Now, as long as sellers create your listing using the same product identifier (UPC, EAN, etc.), the product reviews on the US site will automatically appear under the listing uploaded on the UK site.

This greatly reduces the difficulty for sellers to place orders for new products in the UK and other sites, and accelerates the growth of Amazon's business.

3. The return of the European channel

When the terms of Brexit were finalized, Amazon cancelled its European Fulfillment Network (EFN) service on the UK site, meaning that sellers using the service could no longer store their products in Amazon's UK warehouses, and that UK sellers could not easily access other European markets.

Everyone should be clear about the conditions required to open an Amazon website. In fact, compared with domestic e-commerce, cross-border e-commerce will be more difficult and the relevant threshold will be higher, so the conditions will be more stringent and you can only do it if you meet the conditions.
