Guide · AliExpress official seller accounts
This page is about the official AliExpress seller relationship, a verified business opening a real storefront, not the sourcing-and-resell dropshipping workflow of buying from AliExpress suppliers to list elsewhere. Opening an official store means business verification, a store-type choice, category-specific documentation, and ongoing performance thresholds that decide whether your listings keep visibility and badges. This page lays out what AliExpress asks for and what it measures once you are live.
What an official seller account is
AliExpress requires anyone listing products to be registered as a business, not an individual shopper, and opening a store means passing identity and business verification before a single SKU goes live. That is a different relationship from the well-known dropshipping pattern of buying a consumer product from an AliExpress supplier and reselling it elsewhere; this page, and the InfiPlex integration it describes, is about running your own verified AliExpress storefront as the merchant of record.
Account types
| Store type | Who it fits | What it adds |
|---|---|---|
| Individual seller | A small operator or sole proprietor | Minimal documentation, limited category access |
| Enterprise (business) seller | A registered company with volume to sell | Business license, legal representative ID, enterprise Alipay or corporate payment account, broader category access |
| Official Brand store | A brand owner or authorized distributor | Brand authorization or trademark documents, eligibility for the Brand+ verified badge |
| Specialty store | A multi-brand or curated retailer | Standard enterprise verification, category-specific rules apply |
Enterprise registration is the baseline for most real businesses: company name, legal representative identity, tax or VAT registration, and an enterprise-grade payment account, submitted in AliExpress Seller Center and reviewed before the store opens. A brand store adds a second verification layer proving the right to sell under that brand name, which is what unlocks the Brand+ badge shoppers use to judge authenticity.
Category-specific rules
Beyond general business verification, AliExpress has tightened category-level disclosure: as of its current rules, sellers of electronics, cosmetics, and children's products are required to publicly display a business license number on the store page, not just hold one on file. Missing that disclosure is treated as a compliance failure, not a formality, and is the kind of gap that gets a listing pulled during a routine review. If your catalog touches any of these categories, confirm what your store page shows, not just what your account has on file.
Performance thresholds
| Metric | Threshold (Guaranteed badge) | What it tracks |
|---|---|---|
| On-time dispatch rate | 95% or higher | Orders shipped inside the promised handling time |
| Dispute rate | 1.5% or lower | Buyer disputes opened against completed orders |
| Positive feedback | 90% or higher, trailing 90 days | Buyer ratings after delivery |
| Detailed Seller Ratings (DSR) | Scored 1 to 5 across three categories | Item as Described, Communication, Shipping Speed |
AliExpress publishes current seller requirements and performance thresholds inside Seller Center, and they differ by store type, category, and market; treat the figures here as the 2026 norms reported for official seller accounts and confirm them in your account. A store that clears these thresholds is eligible for AliExpress's Guaranteed and, for verified brand owners, Brand+ badges, both of which shoppers use as a trust signal before buying, so the metrics are a visibility lever as much as a compliance one.
Fulfillment expectations
Official sellers ship from their own operation on the handling time stated in their shipping template, and dispatch has to happen inside that window to protect the on-time dispatch rate. Cross-border orders carry the customs documentation international carriers require, which is the mechanical difference between shipping an AliExpress order and shipping a domestic one. In several markets AliExpress has also rolled out a Local+ style program, where certified local warehouses hold stock closer to the buyer to support faster delivery promises and free-returns messaging; where it is available, it changes the fulfillment path but not the underlying verification and performance requirements.
Automation
Once your official AliExpress store is verified and live, InfiPlex connects the seller account, pulls orders automatically, routes cross-border shipments with the customs documentation carriers require, and keeps inventory in sync with every other channel you run so dispatch never slips because a unit sold on Amazon or Walmart first. The API order lifecycle guide covers the mechanics; the program page is AliExpress integration.
Frequently asked
The questions brands ask before and after opening an official AliExpress store.
Yes. AliExpress does not allow listings from unregistered individuals; opening a store requires business verification, typically a business license, legal representative identification, and tax or VAT registration, submitted in Seller Center.
Individual accounts suit small operators and carry lighter documentation with narrower category access. Enterprise accounts require full business verification, including an enterprise-grade payment account, and unlock broader category access.
Brand authorization or trademark documentation proving the right to sell under that brand name, on top of standard enterprise verification, reviewed before the Brand+ badge is granted.
As of AliExpress's 2026 disclosure rules, electronics, cosmetics, and children's products require the store to publicly display a business license number, not only hold one on file.
95% or higher is the threshold currently associated with the Guaranteed badge, alongside a dispute rate at or below 1.5% and positive feedback at or above 90% over a trailing 90 days.
Buyer ratings on a 1 to 5 scale across Item as Described, Communication, and Shipping Speed, shown publicly and used by shoppers to judge a store before buying.
