Shopee, Southeast Asia’s newest smart and secure social mobile marketplace has officially launched in the Philippines. Available for free in Apple App Store and Google Play, boasts a wide range of products and is equipped with a secure payment service and innovative socially-driven features to create a more secure, fun, fast, and easy shopping and selling experience. Right now, it has millions of users across the region.

Through this app, you can buy and sell in less than 30-seconds wherever you are. Good thing, Shopee also addresses common issues faced by users on other existing marketplaces such as fraud, transaction risks, and the hassle of face-to-face meetings. Shoppers can now purchase their favorite products from the app with peace of mind through a secure payment service called Shopee Guarantee- this ensures that if products are not received in the previously agreed-upon condition, payment will be refunded to the buyers in full.

Featuring a highly intuitive and user-friendly interface with an in-app Live Chat function, Shopee enables users to shop and communicate at their own convenience. Designed to truly embody a social commerce platform, Shopee integrates social features, including hashtag functions, allowing users to easily search for the most popular trending product or keep up with the latest trends. They will receive updates in real-time similar to any other social media platforms.
Launched in app store last June 2015, Shopee has since accumulated several million active users across Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Taiwan, of which, 30 percent are already selling products on Shopee. The platform currently has more than three million product listings, a result of engagements with influencers and retail entrepreneurs.
With tools such as the Seller Assistant, Shopee helps everyday individuals sell like a professional retailer and become successful entrepreneurs. Shopee’s Seller Assistant guides individuals on how to manage their retail businesses on the platform. Sellers can use it to organize inventory and measure store performance – they can also easily figure out which products they should restock or offer a discount on to inspire purchase among users.
