AliExpress semi-hosting is fully launched, and the number of inquiries on "how to join semi-hosting" has increased by 5 times

"How can I join the semi-hosting service for my store?", "How to calculate the logistics subsidy for semi-hosting?" ... After half a year of trial operation, the semi-hosting service of AliExpress was fully launched on January 5. The reporter learned from AliExpress that the number of inquiries about semi-hosting has continued to increase recently. In the past month alone, the number of inquiries about semi-hosting has increased five times month-on-month.

Many merchants said that their order volume increased by 2-3 times after joining the platform . According to the new regulations of AliExpress today (January 8), all newly released products in the future can enjoy semi-custody services.

Mr. Zhang, an auto parts merchant in Shenzhen, just joined AliExpress two months ago. According to him, before joining the semi-hosting service, the average daily sales of a repair tool product in his store was about US$ 350 . One month after joining the semi-hosting service , the average daily sales rose to US$ 1,100 , more than three times the original amount .

"Semi-hosting is too powerful. Our own advertising investment has been reduced, but sales have increased, and we don't have to worry about complicated logistics disputes," said Mr. Zhang. "So we plan to transfer all the products that can be added to the store to semi-hosting."

AliExpress's semi-hosted service is an upgrade of the merchant's self-operated model, with the core being "the platform provides warehouse and distribution/logistics (cross-border warehouse and delivery/JIT) management services". After joining the semi-hosted service, merchants can continue their original operating methods, including pricing power, listing and selling, etc., while the platform will provide a series of solutions such as warehouse and distribution logistics, exclusive marketing activities, and logistics after-sales services.

Last year, after full hosting brought high growth, AliExpress began to test semi-hosting. Semi-hosting allows merchants to master the flexibility of pricing and operation , helping merchants to obtain more premium space through independent operation. At the same time, it retains the service standards and rights of full hosting. Due to its flexibility, semi-hosting has become a new choice for many big brand sellers and self-operated merchants.

According to the new regulations of AliExpress today ( January 8), all newly released products in the future can enjoy semi-hosting services. If you join the semi-hosting service now, you can get benefits such as free warehouse rent, logistics subsidies, exclusive traffic, etc. for a limited time. The new regulations will take effect first on the US site on February 19 .
