I deeply feel that the Internet is going to change the world. What do you need to prepare for cross-border e-commerce? I have compiled the relevant content below. For your reference only.

Characteristics of the cross-border e-commerce industry

1. Globality

The network is a media without borders and has the characteristics of globality and decentralization. Cross-border e-commerce that relies on the Internet has therefore become global and decentralized.

2. Intangibility

The development of the Internet has made the transmission of digital products and services prevalent. Digital transmission is carried out through the concentration of different types of media, such as data, sound and images, in a globalized network environment. These media appear in the form of computer data codes in the network and are therefore invisible.

3. Anonymity

Due to the decentralized and global nature of cross-border e-commerce, it is difficult to identify the identity and geographical location of e-commerce users. Consumers doing online transactions often do not reveal their true identity and geographical location. The important thing is that this does not affect the transaction at all. The anonymity of the Internet also allows consumers to do this.

4. Immediacy

For the network, the transmission speed has nothing to do with geographical distance. In the traditional transaction model, information exchange methods such as letters, telegrams, faxes, etc., there are time differences of varying lengths between the sending and receiving of information.

5. Paperless

E-commerce mainly adopts paperless operation, which is the main feature of transactions in the form of e-commerce. In e-commerce, electronic computer communication records replace a series of paper transaction documents. Users send or receive electronic messages. Since electronic information exists and is transmitted in the form of bits, the entire information sending and receiving process is paperless.

6. Rapid evolution

The Internet is a new thing, and it is still in its infancy. The future development of network facilities and corresponding software protocols is highly uncertain. Four things to know when doing cross-border e-commerce

1. Funds: It goes without saying that you need to prepare funds. If you don’t prepare funds for doing business, it’s impossible to count on nothing but the amount of funds. There are still things to pay attention to. Anyone who has done cross-border transactions knows that hoarding goods across borders is very risky.

2. Platform: Choose a platform There are many cross-border e-commerce platforms now, but each has its own pros and cons. You can learn more about the platform and then choose the one that suits you.

For example: Eaby is a long-established cross-border e-commerce platform with sites in the United States and Europe. WISH is the easiest cross-border e-commerce platform to use. It is committed to making it simple for sellers and buyers. However, because WISH is simple and easy to use, the competition is now much more intense than two years ago.

3. Logistics: Logistics is a big problem when it comes to cross-border logistics. After all, it is different from domestic logistics. Cross-border transportation is expensive. Cross-border logistics channels can be roughly divided into two types: international express delivery and small parcels.

4. Payment: Collection is essential for sellers. In addition, various countries have strict supervision on financial foreign exchange, etc., and cross-border e-commerce is characterized by high frequency and small quota, which makes it unattractive to traditional banks. Payment collection in Duoyi is usually done through third-party tools.
