With a range of products, secure payment methods, fully integrated door-to-door delivery services and innovative social features such as #hashtag, live chat and easy connections to social media, the marketplace empowers budding entrepreneurs to grow their business, according to Tran Anh Tuan, director of operations and finance for Shopee Vietnam.
Integrated sales tools also enable entrepreneurs to promote products, manage inventories and enhance customer relations.

In Viet Nam, it has had 1.8 million downloads and more than 3 million items listed.
