More than 3,700 illegal stores have been shut down! XShoppy platform resumes registration

First, let’s take a brief look at XShoppy. As one of the domestic cross-border e-commerce independent station building platforms, XShoppy was officially opened to the market in April last year.

According to XShoppy, within less than a year and a half after the XShoppy SaaS website building tool was launched, the number of stores and annual GMV reached over 20,000 and RMB 5 billion respectively.

Yesterday, XShoppy released a notice on its official account that "XShoppy platform has resumed opening registration entrance". XShoppy said that the risk control management of its platform has been perfected and mature, and it will resume opening registration from April 1 .

Previously, XShoppy stated that starting from December 29, 2020, the rent for a single store on the platform will increase from 199 yuan/month to 499 yuan/month, and the transaction commission will increase from 3‰ to 7‰.

Newly registered sellers after registration opened on April 1 this year can continue to enjoy a store rent of 499 yuan/month and a preferential transaction fee rate of 3‰ .

In the past few months, XShoppy has been committed to strengthening the control of the platform and purifying the business environment. From the many announcements released by the platform, we can also see its efforts to crack down on illegal stores and sellers on the platform↓

In early November, XShoppy stated in a letter to sellers and upstream and downstream partners that at that time, XShoppy had closed more than 1,000 illegal stores;

It was also from then on that XShoppy decided not to accept new seller registrations in the short term, and the official website trial version would no longer be open to the public. Instead, it shifted its strategic focus to the construction of back-end services and supply chain ecosystem capabilities.

From December 1 to December 31, 2020, the XShoppy platform froze and shut down 1,555 illegal stores and 100 corporate centers that violated regulations multiple times;

From January 1 to February 28, 2021, the XShoppy platform froze and closed 641 illegal stores;

In the latest notice, XShoppy stated that in more than four months of rectification and cleanup, it has closed more than 3,700 illegal stores and completely eliminated illegal sellers from the platform.

The situation of the XShoppy platform is also a microcosm of the entire industry. The influx of sellers of varying quality into the independent station industry has brought many problems, such as orders not being shipped, goods not matching the pictures, infringements, etc. These non-compliant behaviors frequently bring bad reputations to Chinese brands and sellers, and harm the reputation of many Chinese sellers.

To this end, website building platforms, payment platforms and overseas social media have increased their risk control efforts to combat illegal activities. Sellers who run independent websites should also be aware that independent websites are not outside the law, and sellers should not give up long-term interests for the sake of short-term profits.
