To build a stable and efficient cross-border supply chain system, this B2B2C cross-border mall sincerely invites various types of high-quality suppliers (including manufacturers, brand suppliers, first-level wholesalers, etc.) to establish cooperation, and jointly provide a wide range of high-quality products for platform merchants and consumers. The following is the specific description of supplier cooperation:
I. Supplier Cooperation Requirements
Qualification Requirements
Possess legal business qualifications. Enterprise suppliers shall provide a business license and tax registration certificate; individual industrial and commercial households shall provide an individual business license and the operator's ID card.
Overseas suppliers shall provide legal business certificates of their country/region, product export permission documents (if applicable), and brand authorization documents (if acting as an agent for a brand).
Product Requirements
Products must comply with international quality standards and import regulations of the target market, and provide complete documents such as quality inspection reports, ingredient descriptions, and certificates of origin.
Have stable production or supply capacity to meet the platform's bulk procurement and replenishment needs, and ensure the continuous supply of product inventory.
Counterfeit, shoddy, infringing products, products approaching expiration (for food products, less than 1/3 of the shelf life remaining), and products prohibited from import and export by the state will not be accepted.
Cooperation Capability Requirements
Be able to provide competitive procurement prices and support bulk purchase discount policies.
Have cross-border logistics connection capabilities and can cooperate with the platform to complete pre-processing such as product warehousing, packaging, and labeling.
Have no major quality disputes, breach of contract records, or illegal business activities in the past.
Additional Requirements for Special Product Categories
Suppliers of special product categories such as food, cosmetics, and maternal and infant products shall provide industry-specific qualifications (such as food production licenses, cosmetics filing certificates, and maternal and infant product safety certifications).
Suppliers of categories such as 3C digital products and home appliances shall provide product warranty commitments and after-sales service support plans.
II. Supplier Cooperation Process
Submission of Cooperation Application
Log in to the mall's "Supply Chain Cooperation" page and fill in the Supplier Cooperation Application Form, which includes enterprise information, main product categories, production capacity/supply volume, and cooperation intentions.
Upload relevant qualification documents (business license, quality inspection report, brand authorization, product list, and quotation sheet) and ensure the documents are clear and valid.
Qualification and Sample Review
The mall's procurement team will review the application materials within 5 working days, focusing on verifying the compliance of qualifications, product quality, and supply capacity.
After passing the review, representative product samples must be provided (sample fees and freight shall be borne by the supplier; reimbursement may be negotiated after long-term cooperation). Only after the samples pass the inspection by the platform's quality inspection team can the process proceed to the next stage.
Cooperation Negotiation and Agreement Signing
Both parties negotiate on cooperation details (procurement price, minimum order quantity, supply cycle, return and exchange policy, settlement method, etc.).
After reaching an agreement, the Supplier Cooperation Agreement will be signed, specifying the cooperation period (usually 1-3 years, renewable), rights and obligations, and liability for breach of contract.
Product Warehousing and Launch
The supplier delivers the products to the mall's designated warehouse center (domestic bonded warehouse or overseas forward warehouse) in accordance with the agreement. Warehousing will be completed after passing the inbound quality inspection.
The mall will enter the product information into the supply chain system and open it to platform merchants for procurement. Suppliers can check the product inventory and procurement orders in real time through the backend.
III. Supplier Cooperation Modes
Procurement Cooperation
The mall directly purchases products in bulk from suppliers and incorporates them into the platform's own inventory. Suppliers provide products according to procurement orders. This mode is suitable for best-selling and standardized products.
Dropshipping Cooperation
Suppliers directly provide one-stop dropshipping services for orders from platform merchants and deliver products to the specified address as required by the order. This mode is suitable for large-sized products, customized products, or products with slow inventory turnover.
Joint Stocking Cooperation
For seasonal products or promotional products, both parties negotiate to stock up in advance. Suppliers provide stocking discounts, and the mall bears part of the warehousing costs to jointly reduce market risks.
Exclusive Supply Cooperation
High-quality suppliers can apply to become exclusive suppliers of specific products, enjoying priority promotion resources on the platform. They must commit to the exclusive supply period and price protection policy.
IV. Supplier Support Policies
Order Guarantee
Provide stable procurement order support for high-quality suppliers, and formulate tiered procurement quantities based on product sales to ensure the full utilization of suppliers' production capacity.
Regularly share platform sales data and market demand trends to help suppliers optimize production plans and product structures.
Logistics and Warehousing Support
Provide global warehousing network resources. Suppliers can store products in the platform's forward warehouses and enjoy preferential warehousing rates.
Assist suppliers in connecting with professional cross-border logistics service providers to reduce logistics costs and shorten transportation time.
Promotion and Brand Support
Recommend high-quality suppliers and products in the platform's supply chain procurement channel to increase suppliers' exposure.
Jointly hold supplier promotion conferences to help suppliers connect with high-quality merchant resources on the platform.
Support suppliers' brand promotion and display brand information and stories on product detail pages.
Financial Support
Provide supply chain financial services such as extended payment terms and order financing for suppliers with stable cooperation to ease capital turnover pressure.
Bulk procurement orders can enjoy advance payment support (30%-50% of the payment in advance).
V. Fee and Settlement Instructions
Cooperation Fees
Suppliers do not need to pay a franchise fee for cooperation. Only a warehousing fee will be charged based on the warehousing area or weight when products are stored in the warehouse (see the Warehousing Service Quotation Sheet for specific standards). No warehousing fee is charged for the dropshipping cooperation mode.
Settlement Methods
Procurement Cooperation: Monthly settlement or batch settlement is adopted. Settlement will be made at the end of each month or after each batch of products passes inspection, with corresponding fees (such as warehousing fees and quality inspection fees) deducted. The settlement cycle is T+15.
Dropshipping Cooperation: Settlement is based on orders. Settlement will be made within 7 working days after each order is completed, with the dropshipping service fee (2%-5% of the order amount) deducted before the payment is made to the supplier.
Multi-currency settlement is supported. Suppliers can choose to receive payments in RMB or major international currencies, and the exchange rate is calculated based on the central parity rate on the settlement date.
VI. Notes
Quality Assurance
Suppliers shall be responsible for product quality. In case of quality problems, they shall bear responsibilities such as return, exchange, and compensation in accordance with the agreement.
The platform will conduct regular random inspections on cooperative products. Products that fail the random inspection will have procurement suspended until rectification is completed and they pass the inspection.
Supply Assurance
Suppliers shall deliver products within the time specified in the order. Those who deliver late shall bear liquidated damages (usually 5%-10% of the order amount).
When product inventory is insufficient, suppliers must notify the platform 7 working days in advance to avoid affecting sales.
Information Confidentiality
Both parties shall strictly keep confidential the business information obtained during the cooperation (such as price systems, customer data, and sales strategies) and shall not disclose it to third parties.
Termination of Cooperation
If both parties have no intention to renew the agreement upon expiration, the cooperation will be terminated automatically.
If a supplier violates the agreement (such as providing unqualified products, delayed delivery, or disclosing confidential information), the platform has the right to terminate the cooperation in advance and pursue corresponding responsibilities.
If you are interested in cooperation or have any questions, please contact us via the customer service hotline or email. We will arrange a procurement specialist to connect with you for negotiation. We look forward to working with you to build an efficient cross-border supply chain.
