Frequently Asked Questions
Do these 15 platforms charge fees? Which plan is suitable for small merchants?
Most platforms offer a free basic store setup plan, with transaction fees charged only when sales occur. We recommend testing the waters with the free plan first, then upgrading based on order volume. Small merchants can prioritize platforms with low or no monthly fees.
Which Taiwan e-commerce platforms are suitable for Macau merchants?
We recommend prioritizing platforms that support cross-border sales, such as PChome, momo, Shopee, and other major platforms. If you're focusing on specific product categories, consider vertical channels like Yahoo Super Mall or ETtoday Shopping.
Can I really get Taiwan orders using these platforms?
The platforms have traffic advantages, but you need to focus on product differentiation and review management. We recommend optimizing product titles, images, and descriptions, and leveraging platform advertising to help new products gain visibility.
Are platform operations complex? Do I need technical skills?
The back-end interfaces of major platforms are intuitively designed, and basic operations require only basic computer skills. However, to improve performance, you'll need to learn about advertising placement and data analysis.
Are there language issues? Do I need Traditional Chinese product information?
Taiwan platforms use Traditional Chinese. We recommend providing product information in Traditional Chinese version or usingTraditional Chinese directly. You can use AI translation tools to assist with conversion, lowering the language barrier.
