[Seoul Fintech Lab Resident 4] SHAASHOP – Shop for Korean Products Online from Anywhere in the World

2020-12-17


BTS, Gangnam Style, Parasite, and Korean Barbeque. Unless you've been living under a rock, you've noticed that Korean culture is trending around the world. As more people consume Korean content from Kpop and KDramas, the demand for Korean goods continues to grow all across the world. However, if you have ever visited a Korean website you will find it difficult to shop for Korean products online, let alone have the products delivered to your country. This applies to websites all around the world. SHAASHOP makes it easy for anyone around the world to effortlessly purchase their favorite products and have them shipped directly to their homes. 

Shop for Products Online Through a Global Commerce Platform


Want to purchase handmade shoes from Italy or samurai swords from Japan? How about an innovative local product that has not been introduced globally? It is not as easy as you think as most boutique or specialty retailers abroad do not ship overseas. In addition, many online stores are not available in English and most do not accept foreign credit card purchases. With SHAASHOP, customers can now effortlessly purchase their favorite global products from anywhere in the world and have them directly shipped to them. SHAASHOP partners with local delivery companies to provide users with faster and more cost-efficient shipping. 

How SHAASHOP works: 



  1. Copy and paste the URL of the desired goods into their app.

  2. SHAASHOP will calculate the delivery price and offer a quote. 

  3. Simply accept the quote and pay with a card of your choice. 


Global Solution for Shoppers in Korea


SHAASHOP also helps shoppers in Korea find global products. Koreans do not have access to many global products. Therefore SHAASHOP can help bring more global products into the Korean market using the same strategy shown above. Currently, most global online shops do not offer direct international shipping into Korea. This means shoppers have to ship their goods to a 3rd party, like a private warehouse, before shipping them into Korea. This takes a long time and can get expensive. With SHAASHOP, shoppers in Korea simply need to copy and paste the URL of the product they want to buy. After a quote is provided, shoppers can pay using their preferred payment method in Korea.
