Does it matter if Shopee has no main account but only sub-accounts? What will happen?

Friends who are engaged in Southeast Asian e-commerce know about the Shopee platform, so many new merchants also come here. But does it matter if you don’t have a main account but only a sub-account when registering? Let’s talk about this issue next, and curious newbies can follow along.

What will happen?

When you first register on Shopee, you must have a main account, otherwise you cannot open a sub-account. So, if you don’t have a main account but only a sub-account, many functions will not be available because the sub-account only has some of the functions of the main account.

Let’s take a closer look at these two accounts:

1. Create a role: Use the main account to log in to the sub-account platform, role - add new functions. A single main account can create up to 30 different roles, and you can set them according to your needs.

2. Create a sub-account: Log in to the sub-account platform with your main account, Members-Add new member. Fill in member information. Assign permissions (role + store).

3. You can select an existing store and an existing role, click Edit Store in the permission box, and change more detailed permissions.

4. Completed. You can see the login ID and password of the sub-account here. Copy it and send it to the member, and then you can log in to the sub-account. The number will be verified when you log in to the sub-account for the first time.

Introduction to the role of sub-number:

First of all, the parent-child account is launched by the platform. It is a system function launched to solve the problem of store operation. It can realize the management of multiple stores and set permissions in the background. For example, when your employees are operating the store, you don’t want them to see the cash flow, you can set permissions.

In terms of functions, parent-child accounts can establish a main account and sub-account structure, with a single main account and multiple sub-accounts. The main account is controlled by the boss, usually the legal person of the company. The main account can manage all stores on the account, but the main account is independent of the store. The login account name of the store is different from the login name of the main account, but the main account can manage the store.

Sub-accounts are created by the main account, and the operation team under them can be delegated. The main account manages the permissions of the sub-accounts. All permissions, including access permissions, are granted by the main account. The sub-accounts are assigned stores by the main account, and stores are assigned to different sub-accounts across different sites. Each sub-account is doing work within its own authority, and there is no interference with each other, which is very good.

If Shopee does not have a main account but only a sub-account, then many of the management permissions of the main account cannot be used. If you are just an employee, then the permissions allocated to the sub-account are enough and will not have a big impact on your work. However, if a manager does not have a main account, then the impact will be huge. Many times, you cannot complete your work and you cannot understand the full situation of the account.
