What is an ecommerce enabler?
An ecommerce enabler manages your Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop presence end-to-end — listings, advertising, customer service, fulfilment coordination, and campaign participation. In Singapore, there are roughly five providers worth comparing seriously.
The five enablers compared
Atsell
Platforms: Shopee, Lazada, TikTok Shop · Model: Retainer + revenue share · Official partner: Yes (all three platforms)
Boutique specialist with a dedicated account team per brand — not a shared pool of executives handling 30+ clients at once. Official partner status with Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop gives brands access to beta features, priority support, and managed ad programmes.
Best for: Growth-stage brands that want senior attention, official platform access, and a team small enough to move fast.
Not ideal for: Brands with very high SKU counts requiring pure operational scale at enterprise volume.
aCommerce
Platforms: Shopee, Lazada, TikTok Shop + others · Model: Retainer-heavy, enterprise contracts · Official partner: Yes
One of Southeast Asia's largest enablers with regional infrastructure across Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia. Their proprietary aCommerce OS platform integrates inventory, orders, and analytics across markets.
Best for: Large multinationals launching across multiple SEA markets simultaneously with complex operational needs.
Not ideal for: Brands that need fast iteration or bespoke workflows — large operators standardise their processes, which creates friction for brands with specific requirements.

SCI Ecommerce
Platforms: Shopee, Lazada · Model: Retainer · Official partner: No
Established Singapore enabler with strength in FMCG and cross-border commerce, particularly for brands entering from China. Well-suited to high-SKU operations with standardised processes.
Best for: FMCG brands with high SKU counts and established playbooks, particularly brands entering from China.
Not ideal for: Brands that need TikTok Shop as a primary channel, or want a highly flexible operating model.

LEAP Commerce
Platforms: Shopee, Lazada, TikTok Shop · Model: Retainer · Official partner: No
Enterprise and luxury-focused enabler across Southeast Asia. Category specialists and structured processes suited to premium brands with established regional ambitions.
Best for: Enterprise or premium brands with established revenue wanting structured regional expansion.
Not ideal for: Growth-stage brands — pricing and minimum requirements typically exclude smaller brands.

Synagie
Platforms: Shopee, Lazada · Model: Retainer · Official partner: No
Health, beauty, and personal care specialist with over 600 brand partners including Nike, Estée Lauder, and L'Oréal. Recognised as Lazada's Regional Partner of the Year in 2021 and 2022.
Best for: Health, beauty, and personal care brands that want deep category expertise on Shopee and Lazada.
Not ideal for: Non-health/beauty categories, or brands that need TikTok Shop as a core channel.

What to evaluate before you sign
Enabler relationships are typically 12-month contracts. The cost of switching is high — you lose institutional knowledge, platform history, and momentum. These five things matter most:
- Official platform partner status — verified, not just claimed. Partners get early access to features, priority support, and campaign opportunities that non-partners don't.
- Pricing model — retainer + revenue share aligns incentives. Pure retainer doesn't.
- Team structure — dedicated vs shared account teams significantly affects response time and output quality.
- Category experience — marketplace performance is category-specific. Always ask for case studies in your specific category.
- Reporting transparency — monthly reports should cover revenue, traffic, conversion, ad spend, and ranking changes — not just "sales are up".
Questions to ask any enabler
- Who specifically will manage my account, and how many other accounts do they handle?
- What is your guaranteed customer service response time, and how is it enforced?
- Can I see a sample monthly report from a current client in my category?
- What happens to my store data and reviews if we end the contract?
- Do you hold official partner status with Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop? Can you show documentation?
- What is your track record in my specific category? Can you provide references?

What is the difference between an ecommerce enabler and a digital agency?
An enabler manages your marketplace presence end-to-end — listings, ads, customer service, fulfilment, and campaigns — on platforms like Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop. A digital agency typically focuses on website, paid media, and brand channels. Specialist enablers do marketplace management as their core business, not an add-on.
