If you feel like your Shopee store is performing really well in your country, then joining the Shopee International platform and selling to cross-border customers might be a good option!
If you haven’t heard of it yet, here’s a quick introduction to what it is and how it can benefit you as a Shopee seller!
What Does It Mean To Be a Cross-border Seller?
