Wish Ramps Up Efforts to Improve Product Quality by Becoming an Invite-Only Platform for New Merchants

The introduction of new merchant selection measures is part of Wish’s broader push to improve user trust

ContextLogic Inc. , one of the world’s largest mobile ecommerce platforms, has today announced the introduction of a new ‘invite-only’ merchant selection process. Effective immediately, new merchants wanting to sign up to sell on the Wish marketplace will be required to participate in a multi-step qualification process.

The move is part of a broader push to improve user trust by prioritizing and empowering merchants that provide a great service. The ‘invite-only’ initiative replaces the previous open merchant account sign-up process via merchant.wish.com. This new policy will not affect merchants already selling on the platform.
