As of my knowledge cut-off date in September 2021, JD.com generally does not impose strict minimum sales requirements or quotas on individual sellers. However, there are some important considerations and potential exceptions to be aware of:
1. Performance Metrics:
- While there may not be specific sales quotas, JD.com does monitor various performance metrics, such as order fulfillment, customer satisfaction, return rates, and more.
- Poor performance in these areas may lead to penalties, reduced visibility, or even suspension of the seller account.
2. Category or Program-Specific Requirements:
- Depending on the product category or specific programs you participate in (e.g., cross-border selling, flagship stores), there may be different requirements or expectations.
- It’s advisable to review the specific guidelines and agreements related to your category or program to understand any unique conditions.
3. Fees and Costs:
- While not a sales quota, sellers must be aware of various fees, including listing fees, commission rates, and potential advertising or promotional costs.
- Understanding the cost structure and planning accordingly is essential to maintaining a profitable operation on JD.com.
4. Contractual Agreements:
- If you enter into a special partnership or contractual agreement with JD.com, there may be specific terms, commitments, or targets outlined in the contract.
- Always review and understand any contractual obligations that may pertain to sales or performance requirements.
5. Compliance with Policies:
- Adhering to JD.com’s policies, rules, and regulations is crucial, regardless of sales volume.
- Non-compliance can lead to penalties or account suspension, regardless of meeting or exceeding any sales targets.
