Kuala Lumpur, 28 April 2022 – Malaysia’s newest e-commerce website – Shoppymore – is an online retail platform that offers shoppers and Sellers the safest, most satisfying online shopping experience possible. The platform’s ALL-In-ONE concept makes it the best retail gateway to penetrate the e-commerce arena and expand retail businesses online.
“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 Chief Executive Officer 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.
Shoppymore was introduced to the Malaysian online marketplace in 2021. Quickly attracting attention, the platform closed 2021 with 100 Sellers, a figure the company aims to increase to 1,000 this year (2022) with a revenue of RM10 million.
“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.
“We want to be the preferred choice for our stakeholders by providing five-star quality products and services. And we aim to achieve these high standards through our values of transparency, uncompromising ethics and giving back to society.” Not only that, according to the Shoppymore CEO, the main focus is to support the micro entrepreneurs, the local and made in Malaysia products with halal and rural based industry moving along together and off course the support of Go e-commerce (MDEC) and PEDAS is crucial to this cause.

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.
