Taiwan Shopee Registration Guide 2025: Step-by-Step Tips

As a senior Shopee global seller with 5 years of experience in cross-border e-commerce, I have successfully managed returns, optimized reviews, and implemented promotional strategies across multiple categories. This article provides a comprehensive guide to registering on Taiwan Shopee, covering the problem scenarios, underlying logic, solutions, and pitfalls to avoid, supported by real-world examples and up-to-date platform policies.

Problem Scenario: Incomplete or Incorrect Registration Process

Many sellers face challenges during the registration process due to unclear requirements or missing documents. For instance, a Chinese electronics seller attempted to register on Taiwan Shopee but was rejected because they did not provide an official business license in Chinese and English.

• Incorrect document formats or missing translations
• Unclear product category selection leading to rejection
• Failure to complete the verification process within the required timeframe

Underlying Logic: Compliance with Local Regulations

Shopee requires all sellers to comply with local laws and regulations in each market. According to Shopee’s latest policy (effective April 2024), businesses must submit legal documents such as business licenses, tax registration certificates, and product certifications.
