“What we have is a comprehensive and thorough mechanism with a three-fold objective; one, we look for vendors who are ethical and trustworthy, two, we ensure and verify that the products on Shoppymore are genuine, authentic and of good quality, and three, we have an extensive customer and vendor support system to solve problems, educate and assist,” says Shoppymore Founder & Group CEO Dato Sri Dr. Barani Karuna Karan
“All these are put in place so that we can offer the best possible online retail buying and selling experience, looking after both vendors and sellers alike, “he adds.

“Plans are also in the pipeline to expand to India, Indonesia and the Philippines to introduce Malaysian-made products in cross border commerce and to take the Shoppymore brand values to a wider market,” Dato’ Sri Dr. Barani says. He added that Shoppymore’s intent is not to accumulate large numbers of Sellers, but to ensure that the platform is recognised as a world-class marketplace such as Amazon, Flipkart and eBay.

In return, vendors can access the platform which is strategically well-positioned to increase traffic. This is particularly advantageous to youths, micro-entrepreneurs and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), especially those which are in sub-urban areas, while enabling these businesses to venture into digitalised commerce. Sellers can also log into tutorials webinars, forums and training sessions covering a wide range of topics pertinent to online retailing and digital strategies.
