Is the Shopee commission the same for each site? What are the differences between sites?

Nowadays, e-commerce is developing more and more rapidly. Shopee local stores are Shopee stores opened with local site information. Shopee platform is a well-known cross-border e-commerce platform and many people will join. So is the Shopee commission the same for each site?

1. Is the Shopee commission the same on every site?

Shopee's commission is the same for each site. The same seller is exempt from the transaction commission of each site in the first three months on the platform.

2. What is the difference between sites?

1. Taiwanese buyers have strong spending power and place orders quickly, but the effect of copying the products that were originally popular in Europe, America or Southeast Asia is usually not ideal. It is recommended to select products specifically for the Taiwanese market. The Taiwan site will surprise you with your investment. Women's clothing is currently the largest category on the Taiwan site, and maternal and child toys, home furnishings, men's clothing, mobile phone accessories, and 3C are potential categories on the Taiwan site.

2. Although Singapore has strong purchasing power, the market is small and the number of orders is small. It is recommended to open a store and maintain normal operations, and ship goods as soon as there are orders. The Singapore site is suitable for vertical boutique routes, which requires merchants to operate in a refined manner in terms of products and categories.

Shope’s internal operations team will also do some grading for merchants at the Singapore site. This is the biggest difference between the Singapore site and other sites.

3. Buyers are very sensitive to prices on the Malaysian and Indonesian sites, so the pricing must be fully favorable. The Malaysian site is much more mature in terms of payment and logistics systems than other sites, so it is relatively easy to operate; the infrastructure of the Indonesian site is not yet very complete, but because of the demographic dividend, it is the site that all merchants pay the most attention to, and the myth of big sales comes from this site.

4. The order volume of the Thailand site is increasing very fast, and there are many successful cases of small and medium-sized sellers (daily orders exceed 100). The highlight of the Thailand site is that its network infrastructure is very complete. Local people like to surf the Internet very much, and the daily online shopping standby time ranks first in Southeast Asia, at 3.7 hours.

5. The Philippines and Vietnam sites were newly opened in 2018, but the Philippines site is growing very fast, and the current order volume is on par with the Thailand site. Since the shipping cost of the Philippines site is relatively high, it is recommended that you sell lighter products, such as 3C, small accessories or beauty products.

In addition to commissions and transaction fees, sellers also need to pay fees such as cash withdrawal fees, logistics fees, product packaging fees, etc. Compared with other platforms, Shopee charges less fees and has lower fee standards.
