Which one has more traffic, Shopee or Lazada? Which one should I choose?

Cross-border e-commerce is also very promising. As long as you choose the right platform, the right products, and master the operation skills, you can get considerable profits after the store has stable orders. So, which one has more traffic, Shopee or Lazada?

Shopee has more traffic overall. Although the traffic of platforms in different regions is different, the overall traffic of Shopee is higher. Especially now that Shopee is in a period of rapid expansion, more and more countries are opening. Don't believe those online that say Lazada can sell higher orders. In fact, if you just search for any product, the prices on both sides are similar. The current model is mostly a distribution model. For beginners, I still recommend that you directly buy a platform with a larger traffic pool, which is easier to place orders!

Which to choose?

Company: Shopee is owned by SEA, in which Tencent holds nearly 40% of the shares. Lazada is a local e-commerce company in Southeast Asia and was later acquired by Alibaba. Both platforms have certain strengths. In terms of time, Shopee actually started earlier than Lazada.

Site: Shopee is targeting the pan-Southeast Asian region, but in addition to the Southeast Asian countries, it also has two sites in Brazil and Taiwan, China, while Lazada only targets the Southeast Asian region. Shopee's market is relatively larger.

Settlement fee: Settlement in Shopee is completely free, there is no charge, and a dedicated investment manager will be assigned to newcomers. If you have any questions, you can ask directly. There is no commission in the first three months. Settlement in Lazada is also free in the morning, but in comparison, its value-added tax is higher than Shopee.

Entry requirements: The two platforms are the same, and both require a business license to enter. In 2018, Shopee's sales exceeded 10 billion. In 2019, it ranked first in shopping app downloads, Android usage time, and monthly user activity.

The logistics time of Lazada and Shopee is about 10 days. Lazada uses the official logistics LGS, and the time is about 10 days. It is required to fill in the logistics tracking number within 48 hours, and send the goods to Yiwu or Shenzhen warehouse within 5 days after the order is placed. The platform will be responsible for the transportation and delivery. Of course, sellers can also choose to ship by themselves.

In summary, Shopee has more traffic than Lazada. In terms of operation difficulty, Shopee is easier, and the operation background is in Chinese, which is easier to understand.
