What does consignment mean?

The full name of consignment is online shop consignment, also called online shop agent. Online shop sales are basically divided into virtual goods sales and physical goods sales.

Consignment means that some websites that provide online wholesale services or sellers who can provide wholesale goods reach an agreement with people who want to do online shop consignment, providing them with data such as pictures of goods, rather than physical objects, and selling them to online shop consignors at consignment prices.

Generally speaking, the online shop agent sells the goods pictures and other information provided by the wholesale website on his own online shop, and informs the wholesale website to deliver the goods for him after selling the goods.

The goods sold are only sent from the wholesale website to the buyer of the online shop agent, and the online shop agent can't see the sold goods in this process. The after-sales service of online shop consignment is also exercised by wholesale websites.

There are also agent sales. The direct understanding is that anything that is not produced by oneself and sold by others can be called agent sales, and anything that is not produced by oneself can be called agent sales. For this concept, we can cover many links in life.

For example, dealers, agents, specialty stores, shopping malls, products in factories belong to products but not commodities, and can only be called commodities if they enter the circulation link.

Extended data:

The emergence of online consignment is because some websites that do wholesale business online want to expand their business scope, so as to recruit online consignment and let more people become their terminal retailers, which is equivalent to recruiting a group of salesmen without basic salary.

Wholesale websites generally sell goods to online stores at a small wholesale price, and some also charge service fees instead of delivery, or directly include them in the price of goods, but online stores still have a certain profit margin.

Being an online shop agent is almost a zero-cost entrepreneur, and the sales process is relatively simple. There is no headache in purchasing and there is no risk of hoarding goods. If you purchase goods and then sell them yourself, you will be afraid of hoarding goods, and the styles are not easy to sell, resulting in problems such as backlog.

Online shop consignment only needs to upload the commodity information provided by the wholesale website to its own online shop for sale, receive its own customers and do a good job in shopping guide service.

After the goods are sold out, you don't have to deliver them yourself. The wholesale website will deliver them on your behalf, and you don't have to worry about after-sales problems. The after-sales service is provided by the wholesale website, and the online shop only needs to truthfully report the after-sales problems of the goods sold to the wholesale website.
