How to List Products on Shopee? What Are the Main Models?

As an e-commerce platform that has rapidly risen in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, Shopee has attracted much attention from domestic merchants due to its huge market potential and relatively low competitive threshold. However, how to efficiently list products on the Shopee platform and choose an appropriate operation model have become the primary problems for many merchants. This article will explore several main models of listing products on Shopee and their operational highlights based on the latest market trends and practical cases.

Firstly, for merchants who are new to the Shopee market, the most common way to list products is through a third-party agency service provider. These service providers usually have rich local experience, which can help merchants quickly adapt to platform rules and formulate marketing strategies. For example, a well-known agency service company revealed that they have successfully provided one-stop services from registration to promotion for more than a hundred domestic brands. Through this method, merchants can save a lot of time and energy, focusing on product development and supply chain management. However, it is necessary to be cautious when choosing a third-party agency service provider. Their past performance and service quality should be carefully examined to avoid extra costs or resource waste caused by blind cooperation.

Secondly, with the development of cross-border e-commerce industry, more and more merchants are starting to try self-registration on the Shopee platform for independent operation. The advantage of this mode lies in its high flexibility and large profit margin, but it also poses higher requirements for merchants. On the one hand, merchants need to deeply understand the consumer habits, payment methods, and logistics distribution systems of target markets; on the other hand, they must have certain data analysis capabilities to adjust inventory levels and promotional activities in real time. According to official data from Shopee, the proportion of merchants achieving profitability through independent operation has significantly increased over the past year, indicating that this mode is gradually gaining more recognition.

In addition to the above two common modes, there is another emerging trend worth noting the multi-channel integration mode. In this mode, merchants are not limited to the Shopee platform alone, but simultaneously layout multiple online sales channels such as Lazada and Amazon, and achieve cross-platform data synchronization and order processing through a unified management system. A business manager engaged in electronic product export business stated after adopting this mode, our work efficiency has improved by at least 30%, and we can better cope with emergencies. However, he also reminded that although multi-channel integration has obvious advantages, the initial investment is relatively large, and a strong technical support team is needed to maintain the stable operation of the system.

It is worth noting that in recent years, with the rise of social e-commerce concept, the new sales form of live streaming + e-commerce has quietly penetrated the Shopee platform. Many merchants found that by hosting regular live streaming events, not only can brand exposure be effectively enhanced, but sales growth can also be directly driven. For instance, a clothing brand once created sales exceeding one million RMB during a two-week live streaming event, and its core strategy was to invite local KOLs to participate in interactions and design exclusive coupons to attract fans to place orders. This case fully demonstrates the importance of social elements in promoting transaction conversion.

To sum up, whether choosing a third-party agency service provider or independent operation, or exploring multi-channel integration mode, the key lies in finding the path that best suits the development stage of one's own business. And for merchants who hope to expand their business scope by leveraging social forces, they might as well boldly try the combination of live streaming + e-commerce. Of course, in the actual operation process, it is still necessary to closely monitor changes in Shopee platform policies and competitors' moves to ensure staying ahead of the industry. In short, only by continuous learning and innovation can one stand out in the fiercely competitive cross-border e-commerce field.
