A WB account for a Chinese company is opened in from a few hours to one business day, with a deposit of 10,000 yuan; these terms have remained unchanged for years. There are no quotas, queues, or closed lists: the process is streamlined.
Requirements
- Chinese company business license (营业执照)
- personal bank account at a Chinese bank — its details are linked to the account
- 10,000 ¥ deposit — a refundable security deposit, not a fee
- contact information and verification via a Chinese phone number
Russian documents are not required at all: no INN, OGRN, or Russian bank accounts. If you do not have a company yet — registration takes 3–5 days.
How the opening process works
- submission of the application with company documents
- platform verification — takes hours, maximum one business day
- payment of the deposit from a Chinese account
- account is active: you can upload product cards and plan shipments
What to do immediately after opening
You can upload product cards without waiting for the corporate account to be opened — the processes run in parallel. First steps in the account: product cards in Russian, prices in yuan calculated based on live commissions and logistics rates, and selection of the shipping warehouse.
Frequently asked questions
Is it true that accounts are being "closed" and one should hurry?
Rumors about closures have circulated for years, but the terms remain stable: the 10,000 ¥ deposit has not changed, and opening takes up to one business day. The only real dynamic is commissions: WB reviews them, and the live table is always up to date.
Can an account be opened remotely, without traveling?
The account itself, yes, provided the company and bank account are ready. However, the bank account and company registration require personal presence once: how the trip works. Everything else is done remotely.
What most often delays the opening?
Not the platform, but the preparation: the personal bank account is not ready (~3 days at the bank) or there are no funds for the deposit. With documents ready, the account opening is the fastest step in the entire process.
How long does it take to open a Wildberries account for a Chinese company?

Is the 10,000 yuan deposit a subscription fee?
No, the 10,000 ¥ deposit is a refundable security deposit that is returned when the account is closed, and there is no subscription fee.
Do I need a Russian bank account or Russian documents to sell on these platforms?
No, Russian documents such as an INN or OGRN and Russian bank accounts are not required; you only need a Chinese business license and a personal bank account at a Chinese bank.
Where can I find the most current commission rates for Chinese sellers?
