What Makes It Different

Key Dewu Features

The capabilities that define Dewu and the opportunities they create for international brands.

Authentication-First E-commerce Model

Dewu's defining feature is its "authenticate first, ship second" model. Every product sold passes through Dewu's authentication center where professional inspectors verify authenticity before the item is shipped to the buyer. This guarantee has made Dewu the most trusted platform in China for sneakers, streetwear, and luxury goods among young consumers.

Gen Z Audience with High Spending Power

Over 90% of Dewu's users are Post-90s and Post-00s consumers (born after 1990). Despite their youth, these users spend significantly more per transaction than typical e-commerce shoppers, with an average order value of approximately 1,500 RMB. This makes Dewu a high-value channel for brands targeting China's young premium consumers.

Community-Driven Product Discovery

Dewu combines social content with e-commerce. Users post outfit photos, product reviews, unboxing videos, and styling tips that other users browse for inspiration. This content layer drives product discovery and purchase intent organically, functioning similarly to Xiaohongshu but with an e-commerce transaction built directly into the experience.

Strong in Sneakers, Streetwear, and Luxury

Dewu's core categories are sneakers, streetwear, luxury goods, beauty, collectibles, and outdoor gear. The platform is the dominant channel for sneaker culture in China, handling limited releases, resale, and authentic branded product at scale. International footwear, fashion, and beauty brands find a receptive and commercially active audience.

80M+ Monthly Active Users

With over 80 million MAU and 500 million+ registered users, Dewu is a mid-sized platform by Chinese standards but punches above its weight in commercial value. The combination of high average order value and concentrated young demographic makes Dewu's per-user revenue metrics among the highest of any Chinese e-commerce platform.

International Brand Entry via Dewu

Dewu actively recruits international brands, particularly in footwear, fashion, beauty, and outdoor categories. The platform offers brand partnership programs that include official store setup, authentication integration, and promotional support. For brands already popular with Chinese Gen Z consumers, Dewu provides a direct channel to their highest-intent buyers.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Dewu and how is it different from Tmall?

Dewu (also known as Poizon internationally) is a community-driven e-commerce platform focused on sneakers, streetwear, beauty, and luxury goods. Its key differentiator is an authentication-first model: every product passes through Dewu’s inspection centers before reaching the buyer. Tmall is a broader B2C marketplace for all product categories. Dewu’s audience is younger (90% Post-90s/Post-00s) and more concentrated in trendy lifestyle categories.

How does Dewu's authentication process work?

When a seller lists a product and a buyer purchases it, the product is shipped first to Dewu’s authentication center. Professional inspectors examine the item for authenticity, quality, and condition using brand-specific verification protocols. Only after passing inspection is the product forwarded to the buyer. If authentication fails, the item is rejected and the buyer is refunded. This process applies to every transaction on the platform.

What types of brands perform best on Dewu?

International brands in sneakers and athletic footwear, streetwear and fashion, premium beauty and skincare, outdoor and sports gear, collectibles, and entry-level luxury goods perform best on Dewu. The common factors are: products that appeal to Chinese Gen Z consumers, categories where authenticity is a purchase concern, and brands with cultural credibility among young trend-following consumers.

How do we open an official brand store on Dewu?

Dewu’s brand partnerships team handles official store applications. Requirements include brand trademark documentation, product authentication materials (so Dewu’s team can verify your products), Chinese-language product listings, and logistics arrangements that work with Dewu’s authentication centers. The setup process typically takes several weeks. We assist international brands through the application and onboarding process.

What is the average order value on Dewu?

Approximately 1,500 RMB (roughly $200 USD), which is significantly higher than the average on Tmall, JD.com, or Pinduoduo. This reflects Dewu’s positioning in premium and trend-driven categories and its young audience’s willingness to spend on products that signal taste and cultural awareness.

Can we use Dewu for brand awareness or is it purely e-commerce?

Dewu combines social content with commerce. Users browse outfit posts, product reviews, and unboxing content alongside product listings. Brands can build awareness through community content, influencer partnerships on Dewu, and by encouraging user-generated content from customers. The platform serves both awareness and direct sales objectives for brands that fit its category strengths.

How does Dewu handle counterfeiting of our products?

Dewu’s authentication infrastructure is itself an anti-counterfeiting system. Products that fail authentication are rejected, protecting both the consumer and the brand. For brands with counterfeiting concerns on other platforms, Dewu offers a more controlled environment. Brands can also provide authentication training materials to Dewu’s inspection team to improve detection accuracy for their specific products.

Is Dewu available outside China?

Dewu operates internationally under the name Poizon, with apps available in several markets. However, the primary commercial opportunity for international brands is the Chinese domestic market, where Dewu’s 80 million+ MAU are concentrated. The international Poizon platform is a secondary consideration for most brands.
