Shopee’s strengthened digital ecosystem has supported over 300,000 local MSMEs as they transitioned online.

The pandemic has directly affected livelihoods – from owners of small businesses to individual employees. Last April, the Philippines’ unemployment rate was at an all-time high at 17.7% – translating to 7.3 million Filipinos.
One of the ways Filipinos coped was by turning to online-selling, with over 75,000 online businesses registered during the pandemic.
But starting a business isn’t easy, especially if you’re not tech-savvy or even an entrepreneur in the first place.
In response to this, Shopee readily launched programs and assistance to online sellers and helped Filipino entrepreneurs transition easier to the online marketplace.
