Can I register a Shopee local account with my passport? What are the requirements?

Accounts on the Shopee platform can be divided into local accounts and non-local accounts. There are big differences between these two accounts in terms of registration requirements and store operations. Next, let's understand a question together, that is, can a Shopee local account be registered with a passport?

Materials needed for Shopee local stores:

1. Local phone number

2. Local bank card

Shopee local store registration:

The biggest difference between registering a local store on Shopee and Lazada is that Shopee’s buyer account and seller account are universal, and you can use the buyer account to log directly into the seller center.

For example, if you register for the Thai local site, you can enter through the Thai Shopee buyer website: shopee.co.th/.

What you need to pay attention to here is: you need to register locally, or switch to a local international IP. It cannot be opened if you register domestically.

After registering with your mobile phone number, you can enter the backend seller port and see "Shopeepay" to bind your local bank card.

So what are the main differences between local accounts and cross-border e-commerce?

First: There are fewer restrictions on products and logistics. When we were dealing with cross-border accounts, we should have encountered situations such as the destruction of prohibited items and unqualified objects. There are no such strict requirements for local accounts.

Second: Local accounts have less competition and are given priority in obtaining resources. Cross-border competition is becoming increasingly fierce, but local accounts are not affected. Compared with cross-border accounts that compete with users for active time to launch new products and grab platform activity tasks, local accounts do not have to worry about this because the platform promotes the development of local e-commerce and increases local people's income.

Third: Local traffic support. Although cross-border accounts also have platform traffic support, the two are not on the same level. There are relatively few local accounts, and the traffic support they provide is also very large.

In fact, we don’t need to care too much about Shopee’s local account. Our domestic account is already very convenient and there are dedicated managers to connect with us, so we should not waste the advantages of Shopee in China.
