Selling on the Shopee online marketplace
Getting started on Shopee
Shopee was established in Singapore in 2015 and it currently one of the largest online marketplaces in South East Asia.
It began as a consumer-to-consumer (C2C) marketplace but has since evolved to a hybrid C2C and business-to-consumer (B2C) site.
Orders can be fulfilled via the Fulfilled by Shopee programme (FBS). However, FBS is invitation only and the typically only larger, well-known brands and high-volume sellers are invited to use the service.
If you are unable to access FBS, you can use the services of a third party. There are many fulfilment centres around Asia that can be used.
