Store registration.
The materials needed to register a store are mainly the business license of the limited company, the front and back of the legal person ID card and the VISA bank card, but many people do not have a company license, so they will try their best to handle it. There are many agencies, and the prices of different companies are different, which is about several hundred yuan. After the success of the store, the next step is the monthly rent that the store needs to pay. For example, the European station needs to pay 25 pounds a month, which is about 200 yuan.
Computers and networks
You need to use a computer and IP that is not registered with an Amazon seller account. If you don't want to pull the network cable separately, you can also use the wireless network card (Huawei can) to log in to the background in the early stage. Computer fee: 0 (old) -4K (millet, etc. )-1W or more (apples, etc. ) Internet card fee: Take the rice noodle card as an example, the annual 420 yuan (the traffic is 800 m per day)-1140 yuan (the traffic is unlimited).
Agency accounting
Most start-ups don't have accountants, so it's a waste to run these procedures yourself. Generally, they choose to cooperate with third-party service agencies and file tax returns every month. The cost of small-scale company registration and accounting is basically around 2K per year. If you need to issue a VAT invoice, it will take 6-7k.
Commodity collection
You need to collect products when you open a store. This requires a set of erp management system, which can collect goods from major platforms at home and abroad, modify the goods in the system, and translate and claim them to our Amazon store for sale with one click. If it is systematic, we must choose carefully, because we need to distribute a lot of goods, and there is no supply. A store may have to upload 1 10,000 to 20,000 items. More convenient and efficient software can help us to improve work efficiency and develop a store faster. Remember not to be greedy and cheap in software. If necessary, you can go to the field for comparison.
Order advance payment
Then when we have an order, we need an advance payment here. Amazon's payment cycle is generally about 45 days, while Amazon's store development cycle is about 3 months, so we also have orders during the store development, so we need to have a liquidity at this time. Otherwise, when there is an order, we don't have extra money to deliver the goods, so it's not worth the candle.
sales commission
According to different product categories, the commission is charged in different proportions, generally 8%- 15%. The policy is often adjusted, and you can calculate it through the latest charging standard.
Preserve grain
Storage fee includes monthly storage fee and long-term storage fee.
The monthly storage fee is charged from the 7th to15th of each month, which will change according to the size and month of the goods. Long-term inventory storage fees are charged in addition to monthly storage fees, and will not be charged until the products stay in Amazon warehouse for a long time and reach a certain number of days. From February of 19, 15, goods stored in Amazon warehouse for18/kloc-0 to 365 days will no longer need to pay long-term storage fees. Goods stored in the warehouse for more than 365 days still have to pay a long-term storage fee.
Logistics aspect
The customer is foreign, and it must be international logistics. Domestic express delivery is basically package mail, and domestic logistics is no problem. International logistics, like domestic logistics, depends on the size and weight of products. The heavier the product, the higher the cost. At this time, we can choose some small and refined goods to control the logistics cost. Generally speaking, it is around 30-60 yuan. Therefore, in addition to the advance payment of orders and international logistics fees, the new store will not open for three months.
