How to register to open a store on Alibaba.com in Vietnam?

1. Prepare business legal documents

Alibaba.comis a B2B platform for businesses, so the prerequisite is that you must have legal status.

• Business license: Official scan of the Business Registration Certificate in Vietnam.

• Representative information: Identity card/Citizen identification card or Passport of the legal representative or booth manager.

• Physical address: Information about the office or factory to perform the on-site verification process.

2. Choose a suitable membership package

To sell on Alibaba successfully, most Vietnamese businesses choose the Gold Supplier package.

• Basic package (Basic): Suitable for small businesses starting to explore the market with optimal costs (about 2,999 USD/year).

• Advanced package (Standard/Premium): Provides more benefits in terms of number of typical products (Showcase), shelves and in-depth marketing support tools.

3. Registration and verification process (Verification)

This is the most important step in how to operate Alibaba Vietnam platform to create trust with international customers.

• Register an account: Visit Alibaba's seller page and fill out basic registration information.

• Payment of membership fee: After choosing the Gold Supplier package, businesses make payment for the annual fee.

• Business Verification (Authentication & Verification - A&V): An independent third party (such as SGS) will check the records and may come directly to your office/factory for authentication. Once you pass this step, your booth will have the prestigious "Gold Supplier" symbol.

4. Set up a booth and post products

After being verified, you start building a "front" for your business on the Alibaba Vietnam e-commerce environment.

• Minisite design: Build a virtual booth with professional logo, banner and brand story.

• Product Listing: Post products with sharp images, factory videos and detailed SEO descriptions so buyers can easily find them.

• Trade Assurance settings: Set up the Trade Assurance feature to protect the rights of both you and the buyer.

5. Operate and manage Inquiry

The final step to actually start selling on Alibaba is to manage your offers.

• Use AliSupplier: Install the management application on your phone to respond to inquiries anytime, anywhere.

• Participate in RFQ: Proactively seek quotation requests from buyers to make offers instead of just waiting for customers to come to you.

Opening an Alibaba booth in Vietnam is not just a registration procedure, but the start of a methodical export campaign. If you need technical support or more in-depth advice on keyword strategies for each specific industry, let me know!
