Shopee is an Asian marketplace, specifically from Singapore, launched in 2015 by Sea Group. This online mall debuted in Brazil in 2019, where it can be accessed from web browsers and through Android and iOS apps.

In just two years in the country, the Shopee app became the most downloaded among the country's e-commerce apps, according to the Reuters quoted by FDR. Here it competes directly with AliExpress, Wish and eBay, among other companies.

Being a marketplace, sellers from anywhere in Brazil and other regions of the planet can register and start selling products. The system offers advantages for both consumers and sellers. Check it out next!

MARKETPLACE SHOPEE FEATURES

Shopee has very peculiar characteristics, being incisive in aspects such as:

  • Free shipping: The company offers at least one free delivery per month to all consumers. In addition, sellers also receive free shipping coupons, which allows them to increase the exposure of their stores with a unique seal.
  • Sales: The marketplace offers daily coupons that allow consumers to shop at lower prices. In addition, merchants can offer their own store discounts to attract more shoppers.
  • Low prices: Products available on Shopee are usually very low priced compared to stores outside the marketplace, which is an added incentive for visitors to make a purchase decision.
  • Gamification: Shopee bets on gamification. It has games like Candy, Catch a Gift, Shake it, Bubbles and Throw. By participating in these games, consumers collect virtual coins, which they can use to make purchases of products.
  • Warranty: the amount paid for the product is only released to the seller after the buyer informs the app that he has received the order and that it is in good condition. In other words, this is a feature that provides more security to consumers.

As said, the products can be sold from Brazil or other countries. In any case, to start a sales career within Shopee it is necessary to fill out a simple registration, as you will find out later. Keep reading!
