美客（Merca）浏览器

Both are multi-store antidetect browsers for cross-border e-commerce sellers; the main difference is how network access is provided. Ziniao includes built-in proxy network plans billed per device, while Merca does not sell proxies: you buy proxies from a provider of your choice and add them as nodes. Merca covers nearly all of Ziniao's core features, including store fingerprint isolation, login protection, password management, TOTP verification, and team permissions. Merca also applies fewer network access restrictions, and because you buy and manage the proxies yourself, they can also be used outside the browser in other applications. For sellers who want to choose their own proxies, Merca is an alternative to Ziniao. See the Merca vs Ziniao comparison.

Merca builds mistake-proofing into store launches and sign-ins, so errors are stopped before they can link your stores. A store window accepts only the account and platform bound to that store; signing in with another account or to an unbound platform is blocked. Each node IP allows only one account per platform, so launching a different account on the same platform is blocked until the main account or an administrator allows it. Store names and color labels also appear on the taskbar and window to tell stores apart, and retired or abnormal IPs can be blacklisted so they are never reassigned. See how login protection works.

The Free plan covers 1 store. Pro costs $10 per month for up to 20 stores and includes team management and automation. To manage more than 20 stores, contact support to unlock them. Proxy costs are paid directly to your provider, and Merca charges no per-node fee. See how to subscribe to Pro.

Yes. Merca does not sell proxy services or require a specific provider. Buy proxies from a network provider or run them on your own server, then add the connection details as nodes and check the exit IP. A proxy chain can also route traffic through your system proxy or a custom upstream proxy before it reaches the store node. See Add a node and the network provider directory.

Choose a dedicated static ISP IP first (some providers call it a static residential IP), and consider a fixed datacenter IP when budget is limited. Choose the country by the store's registration details: cross-border stores registered in mainland China or Hong Kong should prefer Hong Kong IPs, then US IPs; avoid Hong Kong IPs for Temu stores or when you need the TikTok storefront; local stores should use a local IP. See which country to buy a node in.

Yes. One node can be used for stores on different platforms, such as Amazon, TikTok Shop, and Walmart. Login protection allows only one account per platform on the same IP; to share a node between a main account and a sub-account on the same platform, allow it separately in the node's account records. See how login protection works.

Yes. Administrators manage store credentials centrally; Merca autofills them on seller sign-in pages and can hide plaintext passwords from staff. TOTP codes are also saved per store, so authorized team members can view and use them without passing a phone around. See how password autofill works and Amazon two-step verification setup.

Merca runs on Apple silicon Macs with macOS 12 or later and on 64-bit Windows 10 or later. Installers are available in the download center.
