To do cross-border e-commerce, you need to prepare the following types of funds, registration fees, platform fees, procurement fees, logistics fees, advertising fees and cross-border e-commerce ERP fees. 1. Registration fee: For novice sellers, they need to apply for a business license first, and the fee ranges from 500 yuan to 1,500 yuan. If you register the whole process yourself, the registration fee for a store is 0; if you leave it to an agency to register, the fee will range from about 500 to 2,000 yuan. The specific cost depends on the actual situation. If you buy a store directly, the selling price is almost more than 10,000 yuan. 2. Platform fees: After opening an account, you need to pay platform fees. However, the fees for each platform are different and must be calculated according to the corresponding platform. For example, Shopee has no platform usage fees, annual fees and deposits. There is no commission in the first three months of the store opening, and the commission rate in the later period ranges from 5% to 6%. Amazon’s platform fees are relatively high, including monthly service fees, commission fees and cash withdrawal fees. The Mango store manager will give you a detailed introduction. (1) Monthly service fees The monthly service fees for different sites can be found in the site introduction on Amazon’s official website. North American Station: The United States, Mexico and Canada are all in US dollars per month. European station: Except for the British station which is 25 pounds per month, the other stations (France station, German station, Spanish station, Italian station, Netherlands station, etc.) are 39 euros per month. (2) Commission fees are different on different sites, and the commission fees for various products are also different. For example, on the US site, the sales commission for mobile phone equipment is 17%, and the applicable minimum sales commission is USD per item. If you need a more complete For the site sales commission price list, you can comment below the article. Mango Jam will chat with you privately after seeing it.
(3) Withdrawal fees. Each platform will have certain fees when withdrawing cash. The rate can be compared with different payment companies. For example, on the Amazon platform, WorldFirst’s withdrawal rate is The rate is 1%. Some platforms also have restrictions on the amount of withdrawals. For example, OZON requires more than 1,000 US dollars to apply for a withdrawal, and the money will be automatically withdrawn after the application is successful. 3. Purchase costs Before withdrawing cash, the purchase costs of the goods need to be paid in advance. It is recommended that novice sellers who have no supply of goods can find supply from platforms such as 1688 or Pinduoduo, and choose drop shipping without the risk of hoarding goods. 4. Logistics costs
a. Self-delivery model There are generally three methods of logistics delivery: land transportation, sea transportation and air transportation. The cost also ranges from low to high, and of course the timeliness also ranges from slow to fast. Generally speaking, for sellers who are not selling particularly valuable goods, they basically use land or sea transportation. Taking HECNY as an example, if 500g of goods are transported by land, the price will be less than 60 yuan. b. Online logistics model Generally, mainstream e-commerce platforms have their own online logistics. Compared with third-party logistics, it has the advantage of not having to pay freight before shipment. The freight will be directly deducted from the payment. Therefore, new sellers can save money on logistics advance fees by using online logistics for delivery. Of course, different platforms have different rules, and calculations must be made according to the corresponding platform. Taking Shopee as an example, if you use SLS logistics for the international section, you don't need to pay in advance. If you send it to the Shopee warehouse domestically, you need to pay the freight in advance, but it's not high, usually just a few yuan. 5. Advertising expenses: Novice sellers still need to increase the number of top products, and wait until the store traffic has improved to a certain extent before conducting advertising operations. It is also recommended to invest in small steps in the early stage, and slowly understand the operating rules of promotional activities, advertising, etc. . 6. Cross-border e-commerce ERP costs For novice sellers, listing and order processing operations through the platform backend will be relatively complicated. It is recommended to use a cross-border ERP that supports multi-store management, which can greatly improve the operational efficiency of the store. Take Mango Store Manager's ERP as an example. Originally, only 10 products could be uploaded in the backend a day, but with Mango Store Manager, it can reach more than 50. The cost of cross-border e-commerce ERP is actually not high, or even free. Taking Mango Store Manager as an example, free trials are available for 1-2 stores on most platforms. Only when the number of stores increases, membership service fees will be incurred. It can be seen that the funds we need to invest in the early stage of cross-border e-commerce are not much, mainly including settlement fees, platform commission fees and procurement fees.
