SSG.com Launches 'Sseuk Partners' Open Market Pilot Operation... Official Launch Scheduled for First Half of the Year

SSG.com is launching 'SSG Partners (Seller Center)' for its marketplace sellers.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] SSG.com announced on the 24th that it will launch ‘SSG Partners’ for its marketplace sellers. The open market pilot operation will begin on the 20th of next month, followed by a system stabilization period, with plans to officially launch the service within the first half of the year.

SSG Partners is the name of a dedicated platform where sellers registered on SSG.com can handle all tasks from membership registration to product listing and management, as well as promotions. Marketplace sellers can start pre-registering products to be sold on SSG.com through SSG Partners from 9 a.m. on the same day, and they can also apply for consultations to join the existing comprehensive mall besides the open market.

With the establishment of SSG Partners, SSG.com plans to continuously provide various information to help sellers conveniently sell their products. For example, sellers can utilize frequently asked questions compiled in the Open Market A to Z, sales tips such as effective coupon management, and more. Additionally, sellers can check order volumes and customer status through seller reports and analyze sales data.

The main reason SSG.com decided to introduce the open market service is to secure product competitiveness. In fact, once the open market is officially introduced, it is expected that the number of products handled, currently about 10 million items, will significantly increase. Due to the nature of the open market, price competition will naturally occur, broadening consumer choices.

SSG.com has significantly lowered the entry criteria for sellers. Unlike the existing SSG.com entry method, open market sellers can become individual sellers simply by verifying their identity through mobile phone authentication without going through the application, screening, and approval process. Those with a domestic business registration certificate can register as domestic sellers, and those with business registration in their country of residence abroad can register as overseas sellers. However, some categories such as food, daily necessities, luxury goods, and certain fashion brands will be excluded from the open market service introduction.

An SSG.com official stated, “We hope that many sellers with product competitiveness will join starting with the opening of this seller center,” and added, “We will create an open market where our platform competitiveness and excellent sellers harmonize and grow together.”
