Online shopping sites are increasing in Myanmar.

Since there are not many settlement systems yet, and there are few holders of cards for settlement, Many online shopping sites introduce items on the facebook page instead of the EC site, and sell items by exchanging comments and messengers.
And, the payment method is often done by cash on delivery.
Regarding delivery, even though there are some delivery companies, some online shopping companies deliver by themselves. (I do not know the reason. They don’t trust the shipper or the fee is high)

Here are some popular online shopping sites in Myanmar.

Shop.com.mm
The first shop I will show is Shop.com.mm, the most。 successful online shopping site in Myanmar.
In this shopping site, there are 20,000 items on the market.
They are accepting inquiries from 9 am to 6 pm during Monday to Friday, and from 9 am to 6 pm on Saturday.
Users who want to buy products can order for 24 hours, payment can be chosen from the bank transfer, cash on delivery payment when the item arrives.
If ordered items are delivered within 2 to 4 days, and if you don’t need the item for some reason, you can return it free within 7 days unless you remove the seal of the package. (It would be like a cooling-off system)
The amount is not high, and they guarantee 100% that they sell only products from regular sales companies.

SK-II Myanmar Authentic
Next, I introduce the SK-Ⅱ Myanmar Authentic online shopping site.
SK – II Myanmar Authentic does not have an EC site, it sells it on Facebook page.
This online shop started in April 2014 and sells only products of SK – Ⅱ directly from Japan.
It seems to be a factor attracting customers as well as having proper usage of cosmetics and its effect.
If the addressee is within Yangon they will deliver for free.
When ordering products, they are planning to deliver early and since they brought SK-Ⅱ products directly from Japan, quality is also guaranteed.

Missha (Myanmar)
Next, I will introduce Missha (Myanmar) online shopping site.
Like SK – II Myanmar Authentic, Missha (Myanmar) sells it on Facebook page.
Missha cosmetics are brands that are said to have the best reputation in Korea and the best sales.
In Myanmar, the actress Nandar Hlaing is modeling the brand image.
Missha cosmetics produced using only things taken from nature, said to be of excellent quality, reputable for women, cosmetics Nandar Hlaing herself is always using.
There are showrooms and dealers in Yangon, and it is exhibited in big shops other than Yangon.
The administrator of Missha (Myanmar) Facebook page is focusing on customer service which is an important role of the shopping site, reply early to comments and messages, write the price and effect when introducing products.
They also provide a delivery service.

Zaw Gyi Mart
Zaw Gyi Mart sells products on the EC site, and services items to send them home.
It is also an online shopping site that also connects people who want to sell products with people who want to buy products.
Zaw Gyi Mart ‘s website opens by Za Infomation Technology Co., Ltd.
In Zaw Gyi Mart various items are sold, guaranteeing that it is a product from the original factory.
The price is also reasonable, there is always a discount, and they send items to anywhere in Myanmar.
When buying items from Zaw Gyi Mart’s site, you first need to register an account.
Choose the item you want to buy, choose the delivery date (for example, the day | next day | within three days) with an accurate address.
In addition, you register your account as your name or company name on Zaw Gyi Mart, so you can also sell your products yourself.
(However, the website is now under maintenance and only the Facebook page can be viewed)

In these introduced sites, cash settlement is still main, but people who use cards little by little are increasing.
· Rising credit card holding rate
· Improve the reliability of the store (there is anxiety that the product does not reach after settlement)
· Resolving anxiety about security which input card information online
If these things can be done, it seems that more people will use the EC site, and the number of EC sites will increase as well.
