5. "Douyin Speed Edition Mall 9.9 Special Offer Channel Investment Rules" Added Price Requirements
According to November 7, Douyin E-commerce recently issued a public notice on revision of the "Douyin Speed Edition Mall's 9.9 Special Channel Investment Rules", and the rules are expected to take effect on November 10, 2022.
The core content of this revision is the addition of Article 8 of Chapter 2, Article 8, which clearly requires that the registration price of goods is less than or equal to the minimum transaction price in the past 30 days. The details are as follows:
1) Merchants ensure that the registration price of the product is less than or equal to the lowest transaction price in the past 30 days;
2) The subsidies provided by Channel 9.9 to users are composed of merchant subsidies and platform subsidies. The "registration price" filled in by the merchant when submitting the event in the Marketing Center is the subsidized price of the merchant. The difference between the "registration price" and the "original price" is the amount subsidized by the merchant to the user. The difference between the merchant’s registration price and the “subsidy price” displayed to C-end consumers is the amount subsidized by the platform to users;
3) After the merchant needs to fill in the platform subsidy in the background, the minimum selling price of the acceptable product should be ensured that the minimum selling price of the product should not be lower than the merchant’s purchase price or cost price;
4) Price insurance service. In order to ensure consumers' shopping experience during the promotional event, merchants need to provide consumers with price insurance services during the promotional event organized by the platform. The platform will mark the price insurance related tags for merchants to participate in the 9.9 channel products. During the event, after a consumer purchases a product, if the merchant reduces the price of the product during the event (including but not limited to coupons, full discounts, direct discounts, flash sale and other discounts, or the merchant directly lowers the price of the product), the consumer can apply for a price difference and make up for the refund. If the merchant refuses to refund the price difference to the consumer, the platform has the right to deduct the price difference amount to be paid to the consumer from the merchant’s payment and take measures against the merchant in accordance with the relevant rules for price guarantee.
