When you choose to do cross-border e-commerce on Shopee, the first thing you need to choose is the site, because cross-border e-commerce has many different sites, and the choice of site is also very important for the future development of merchants. Which site should Shopee do cross-border e-commerce?

Which site does Shopee do cross-border business?

1. Taiwan Malay

At present, when people join the Shopee platform, the default first stop is: Taiwan and Malaysia. The Taiwan site is easier to communicate and operate because of the common language. However, the Malaysia site has a larger transaction volume than the Taiwan site, and people’s purchasing power is still very strong. At present, these two sites are the best for achieving results and placing orders.

The Taiwan site has a higher average order value, and the logistics time is about 5 days. You can just send it by YTO, and you can communicate in Chinese. It is very suitable for mainland sellers with e-commerce experience to make the transition.

If you buy a site, the consumption level of the people there is gradually increasing, the logistics time is about 7 days, and the language is basically communicated in English. It is also very suitable for sellers from other cross-border platforms to expand into the Southeast Asian market.

2. Indonesia and Thailand

These are the two fastest growing sites on Shopee and are expected to become the first and second largest markets for e-commerce in Southeast Asia in the future. Indonesia has a very large population, ranking fourth in the world. In this site, a Chinese seller once created a sales record of one million orders a day. In the next five years, it is no exaggeration to say that the Indonesian market will grow at an 8-fold rate.

3. Philippines and Vietnam

As the second most populous country in Southeast Asia and the third most populous country in the world, the Philippines' site is relatively complete, orders are easy to place, and English can be used for communication, which is quite convenient. However, Vietnam, as a country with a minority language, cannot communicate in English, but this factor has not prevented it from becoming the site with the highest conversion rate.

4. Singapore and Brazil

Singapore is a relatively developed country, leading the e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia, and is also the headquarters of Shopee, a Southeast Asian e-commerce company. There are many Chinese people in Singapore, and the language is convenient, so there is no problem communicating in Chinese and English. Its e-commerce infrastructure is also the best in Southeast Asia, and its logistics are also relatively fast. From the perspective of Internet development, the Singapore site is different from other sites.

Generally, Taiwan is our first choice because we can understand the language and writing. At the same time, Taiwanese buyers have higher purchasing power and place orders faster. Therefore, Taiwan is one of the more popular sites now.
