Indonesian online shopping websites


Online shopping was convenient even before we were strongly advised to stay at home to prevent a virus from spreading. Now that we should absolutely stay inside as much as possible, Indonesian online shopping websites aren’t only convenient, but also necessary.

Whether you need to stock up on some daily essentials, get your kids toys to keep them occupied, or treat yourself to a new gaming console, here are 8 Indonesian online shopping websites to get what you need so you don’t have to leave the house.


1. Tokopedia – Indonesia’s largest online shopping mall

Tokopedia is the largest online marketplace in Indonesia. You can get just about anything there – from kitchen towels to brand new or used electronics. Those of you who are working from home and need a caffeine boost can even get coffee beans from local cafes

It’s not just a place to shop, but also a place where you can pay your phone, TV, internet, and other bills in one place online.

While the website is user-friendly, the mobile app is worth downloading too because it makes tracking your purchases easier. You can contact each seller directly via the convenient chat feature, so if you have any questions, you don’t won’t need to go through a middle person.

There are several payment options available, which include bank transfers, credit card payments, OVO payment, and even cash payments at any Indomaret minimart branch.

Blibli is also counted among Indonesia’s most used online shopping websites, not surprising thanks to its variety of products. Secure your food stock by ordering fresh meat and fish, cooking oil and kecap manis (sweet soy sauce), and a dozen packs of Indomie. Or order some vitamins to boost your immune system and help ward off the sniffles.
