Registering on WB from China: step-by-step application guide

3 min read

Registering a WB seller account for a Chinese company takes one day: a 营业执照, a personal Chinese bank account, and a 10,000 yuan deposit are all that is needed to open the account. No Russian documents are required.

Turnkey cost. Company registration in China — 24,000 yuan. See the step-by-step guide.

Document Checklist

  • 营业执照 of an active Chinese company
  • Personal bank account in China — details must be linked to the account
  • Chinese phone number for verification
  • 10,000 ¥ deposit — refundable fee

No company? Register in 3–5 days; no account? Open a bank account in 3 days. Both tasks can be completed in one trip.

Procedure

  1. Submit application with company details
  2. Platform verification: from a few hours to one business day
  3. Deposit from a Chinese bank account
  4. Account active — you can create product cards immediately without waiting for a corporate account

Common startup mistake.If account details are entered incorrectly or belong to another person, verification will fail and registration will stall. The account must belong to the same entity under which the account is registered.

Frequently asked questions

Can I register an account for a Hong Kong company?

The standard WB account scheme is designed for mainland Chinese companies with a 营业执照 and a Chinese bank account. Hong Kong companies work with Ozon Global (there are shipping points in Hong Kong for them); for WB, the standard path is a mainland legal entity.

How many accounts can I open for one company?

One account = one company is the standard practice. For multiple stores, separate legal entities are used: this is both a platform requirement and a way to mitigate risks. How to set up a structure with multiple firms — separate analysis.

Is the 10,000 ¥ deposit deducted or frozen?

It is frozen. This is a security deposit: it is returned when the account is closed. Only sales commissions and logistics costs are deducted — there is no subscription fee for the account.

What do I need to register a Wildberries seller account as a Chinese company?

You need a 营业执照, a personal Chinese bank account, and a 10,000 yuan deposit. No Russian documents are required for this process.

Is the 10,000 yuan deposit a fee or will I get it back?

The 10,000 ¥ deposit is a refundable security deposit that remains frozen while your account is active. It is returned to you when the account is closed.

How long does it take for the platform to verify my application?

Platform verification typically takes anywhere from a few hours to one business day. The last data update for these rates and calculations was 20.09.2026.

Can I use a Hong Kong company to register on Wildberries?

The standard Wildberries registration path is designed for mainland Chinese companies with a 营业执照. Hong Kong companies should work with Ozon Global instead.
