It is free to join AliExpress and subsequently publish products and open a store. We only charge a handling fee of 5% of the transaction amount after the transaction is successful.
Opening an AliExpress store by an ordinary individual is actually the same as opening a Taobao store. You can register online for free and then undergo identity authentication. After passing the test, you can publish 10 products and open a store.
We have a more convenient process for Taobao sellers. Taobao sellers click "Sell Overseas" in the Taobao backend navigation to enter a specific process. They can use the "Taobao Consignment" tool to automatically translate the store's products into English and quickly publish them in batches to overseas buyers on AliExpress.
