Tmall.HK (domain name: http://www.tmall.hk ) provides international merchants with a selling and management platform, offering such services as commodity selling, logistics and Alipay overseas payment. With increased diversity of commodities and number of orders, merchants have more demands on the systematic management, and thus the open platform will provide supports in terms of data opening and scene integration for the systematical management of international sellers.
