Tokopedia saw a 7 million hike in registered merchants in three years (2019-2022), reaching 12 million registered merchants in 2022. Various Tokopedia initiatives have contributed to the overall growth of the online shopping trend.
Such programs include Tokopedia’s Hyperlocal initiative, which employs geotagging technology that has given merchants greater access to buyers in their vicinity (and vice versa). Furthermore, TopAds, an automatic advertising feature to help sellers’ products appear at the top of the Tokopedia page, enables sellers to reach more buyers and maximize sales.
In addition, advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) can provide buyers and sellers with personalized experiences tailored to the needs of each user. An example of this is the Statistik Toko feature for sellers.
The Tokopedia Play video streaming channel can also be used interactively by sellers to promote their products directly to potential buyers.
“By becoming part of the GoTo Group, Indonesia's largest digital ecosystem consisting of Gojek, Tokopedia, and GoTo Financial, Tokopedia continues to leverage the existing technological synergies to simplify people's lives and enable MSMEs to achieve more," Ekhel concluded.
