Five Reasons Why Shopee Is Southeast Asia’s Mobile Commerce Destination Of Choice
Free with no additional cost
Shopee offers both buyers and sellers no fees or commission collected for installation, listing, buying or selling.
Integrated delivery services that facilitate fuss-free selling
Shopee works closely with established local e-commerce logistics providers to provide users with reliable and efficient end-to-end delivery services. To ensure that items reach their buyers in a timely fashion, sellers can opt for pick-up services and track the delivery process within the Shopee app. Once a purchase has been agreed on, Shopee will collect the product and deliver it to the buyer on the seller’s behalf, usually by the end of the next working day.
Features that make online shopping fun, easy, interactive and social
Shopee’s user interface is equipped with easy-to-use social-sharing features, allowing users to share products and shops with their friends via a simple tap. With the Home Feed feature, users can receive a stream of real-time updates from friends, sellers they follow and Shopee recommended users. Shopee Live Chat enables buyers and sellers to engage in real-time conversations through the in-app instant messaging facility. Products listed on Shopee are divided into sub-categories, allowing buyers to navigate easily. Shopee is also unique in the way it incorporates hashtags – sellers can use hashtags to accompany their product descriptions while buyers can search more specifically using Hashtag Search.
