TikTok Challenges Indonesian E-commerce, Alerting Competitors
ByteDance's TikTok has been aggressively expanding its e-commerce business arm over the past six months. Its strategy is to connect with millions of Shopify merchants, feature video shopping, and pilot e-commerce delivery with Walmart.
In Indonesia, TikTok recently expanded through the live room shopping cart feature launching in early February 2021. TikTok also plans to kickstart TikTok Shop shortly.
