Shopee, the leading
e-commerce platform of Southeast Asia and Taiwan, launches the ₱200 million Seller Support Package to support up to 80,000
Filipino Small and Micro Enterprises (SMEs), whose businesses have been adversely
affected by the Covid-19 outbreak. The ₱200 million Seller Support Package aims to help
Filipino SMEs and sellers navigate the current economic climate, during the
time of the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) and beyond.
The Shopee Seller Support Package aims
to support both local SMEs and sellers with an existing online presence as well
as those looking to expand their businesses online, through the provision
of education, funding, and subsidies. It serves to soften the economic decline
faced by Filipino SMEs and sellers during the Enhanced Community Quarantine
period, by empowering them with more sales and growth opportunities, reducing
their operational costs and facilitating their long-term business
sustainability.
The Shopee Seller Support
Package aims to benefit sellers with the following initiatives:
1) Lowered Commission and
Operational Costs:
○
Sellers who register for the
package will receive reduced commission and transaction fees.
○
Sellers who sign up for the
package can enjoy the Coin Cashback and Free Shipping programs free of charge
for 1 month. In addition, sellers who are currently part of these programs will
also enjoy reduced fees.
○
To ease SMEs and sellers’
operational costs, Shopee will also provide subsidies up to ₱15,000 per seller.
2) Increased Sales and Marketing
Support:
○
SMEs and sellers who register for
the package can receive sales and marketing support in the form of 20% off shop
vouchers to boost their online visibility and sales.
3) Helping new sellers succeed
online: Shopee will continue to offer training and
support to help sellers start, succeed, and grow on Shopee. New SMEs and
sellers looking to start their online businesses on Shopee can continue to
enjoy all existing benefits, including zero registration fees and 0% commission
fee for marketplace sellers; as well as educational support via Shopee
University online courses.
In addition, Shopee will continue to monitor the situation
closely and to adjust its seller policies where required, in order to help SMEs
and sellers better adapt to the evolving situation.
Martin Yu, Associate Director of Shopee Philippines, said: “During these challenging times, it is important for us to find ways
to help our sellers and SMEs maintain long-term business sustainability. The
launch of the Shopee Seller Support Package is part of our larger commitment to
support our local communities through this Covid-19 period. We will continue to
work closely with our
extended network of partners, sellers, and shoppers to adapt our business and
initiatives where required, as we remain united in getting through this
together as one big community.”
