I. Complete Xiaohongshu Shopping Process: Master It in 3 Minutes Without Mistakes

1. Preparations

First, ensure that your Xiaohongshu account has completed real-name authentication (Path: Me - Settings - Account and Security - Real-Name Authentication). Real-name authentication not only improves the security level of your shopping but also entitles you to comprehensive after-sales protection. At the same time, it is recommended to enable the "Payment Security Reminder" (same path as above). Once enabled, you will receive SMS notifications for payment, refund, and other operations to prevent account theft.

Pro Tip: When completing your personal profile, you can follow the corresponding official flagship stores and brand official accounts based on your frequently purchased categories, so you can get the latest product information and exclusive coupons in a timely manner.

2. Product Discovery & Screening

The core of shopping on Xiaohongshu is "discovering products first, then placing orders". But how to screen reliable content from a large number of notes? Remember these 3 points:

- Check the authenticity of notes: Prioritize notes with labels such as "Genuine Experience" and "Actual Test". Avoid content with templated copy and over-edited images; focus on the comment section and pay attention to "whether there are real product photos", "whether the usage feedback is specific".

- Check store qualifications: Before placing an order, be sure to click the product link to enter the store and check for "Brand Certification" and "Official Flagship Store" logos. Also, check the store ratings (Product Description Accuracy, Service Attitude, Logistics Speed). Stores with all three ratings above 4.8 are more reliable.

3. Order Placement & Payment

After screening the right products, follow these 2 tips during the order placement process to save money and avoid pitfalls:

- Claim hidden coupons: In addition to the coupons displayed on the product page, you can click the store homepage to check for "New User Coupons" and "Threshold Discount Coupons". For some categories, you can also claim platform subsidy coupons in the "My - Coupon Center" on Xiaohongshu, which are more cost-effective when used in combination.

- Choose a secure payment method: Prioritize using Xiaohongshu's platform payment (supports WeChat Pay and Alipay) and avoid transferring money directly to the seller. When making a payment, confirm the order information, including product model, quantity, and shipping address.
