In 2016, the market size of China's cross-border e-commerce independent station was worth 0.2 trillion yuan, with the figure rising to 0.8 trillion yuan in 2020. In the process, a large number of new sellers continue to come in as the independent station market becomes more and more intense.
Li Ge (a pseudonym), is one of these 10 million sellers. The time went back to 2019, in a variety of favorable policies, cross-border e-commerce ushered in a golden period of development. At that time, with rise of Shopify as a representative of the rapid site construction tools, greatly reducing the threshold for building a site, the combination of platform and stand-alone station method also gradually become a windfall.
Driven by the market, Li Ge decided to test the waters of running his own independent website. At that time, for a small white seller with no roots, the only way to build an independent website was through the SaaS, Online, and other website-building tools available on the market.
In the midst of the general flow, Li Ge chose Shopify to build his site. Initially, everything looked good, but later, due to frequent IP conversions, Li Ge's shop was closed by the platform, and everything invested in the shop was lost.
The reckless entry of Li Ge at that time hit a bloody head. Based on this failed venture, Li Ge was more cautious when he started his second venture. After much research and exploration, he chose ShopBase to start his second venture, which suited his situation. Talking about this choice, Li Ge said said he chose ShopBase for the following reasons:
1. Cheap, in line with the budget
2. Easy to use, easy to set up, easy to import data
3. Clear terms and conditions, not unreasonable hanging shops
4. Free application can help shop management and operation
5. 24/7 Chinese customer service, able to solve problems encountered in a timely manner.
Li Ge thought the shop would be lukewarm at the beginning, but two months later, he had an unexpected success: the shop's revenue exceeded $180,000.
