Which Shopee site is better? How to choose as a beginner?

Shopee's development in recent years is obvious to all, so it has also started new sites in many countries. This provides many different choices for newcomers who want to join, so naturally some people will be confused about which one to choose. Newcomers who have no direction can take a look at the analysis.

How to choose Xiaobai?

Although different sites have been opened, they also have different focuses. Taiwan site and Indonesia site are currently the largest sites, and we will continue to invest in these two markets.

Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines are English-speaking markets, which are advantageous for sellers who have previously done business in the European and American markets.

The Taihe Yue site is a small language market, but it has a large population. The platform will provide new ideas for the domestic market and provide good services to make it easier for cross-border access to external markets.

The choice of sites for beginners and domestic trade transformation:

The first tier is Taiwan. Because Taiwan is very large, it is the first and best choice for newbies or those who are transforming domestic trade. Therefore, for newbies, the current Taiwan site is the main choice. Those who want to join can start from the Taiwan site.

The second tier is Thailand. The consumption habits of Taiwan and China are similar, and Shopee also helps solve language and logistics problems. Domestic trade stores can easily transplant their business from Taiwan to Thailand. If you are a brand, Xinhe Malaysia can be the second tier.

The third tier is India, the Philippines and Vietnam. India has a population of 270 million, the Philippines and Vietnam each have a population of 100 million. In the later stage, Chinese sellers will focus on expanding overseas markets.

For old sellers and other cross-border platforms:

Focus on Malay and new sites first.

First, both the Malaysian and Singapore markets are English markets. If the seller has done business in Europe and the United States before, it will be easier for them to operate these two markets. Second, the Malaysian market is a country with a very high per capita GDP.

The second choice is the Philippines and Indonesia. The order rate of these two sites is relatively high, and Shopee helps sellers solve language problems.

Finally, I chose Taiwan, Vietnam, and India. For those who have done cross-border business before, the directions of these sites are quite different from those of Europe and the United States, so they need to be re-analyzed. However, Shopee has helped solve the language and logistics problems, so there is no need to worry too much. You just need to investigate the preferences of people in these regions.

Which Shopee site should I choose? It depends on what type of merchant you are. According to Shopee's emphasis on and types of different sites, if you are a domestic merchant, it is recommended to choose the Taiwan site. Of course, the three experienced companies can consider developing the Malaysian and Singaporean markets. Xiaobai recommends starting with the basic sites, which are relatively easier to get started.
