Firms are forging strategic alliances to evade the social commerce ban in the Southeast Asian region

Indonesia, in September 2023, announced a ban on e-commerce transactions on social media networks. The regulatory proceedings were part of the strategy to protect offline merchants and marketplaces from predatory pricing on social media platforms. The ban resulted in a serious hit for TikTok, which was looking at Indonesia as one of its major social commerce markets.

• TikTok, however, entered into a strategic partnership with GoTo in December 2023. This collaboration is part of the social commerce platform’s strategy to evade the ban in Indonesia. As part of the agreement, Tokopedia and TikTok Shop will be combined into an enlarged Tokopedia entity. Over a period of time, TikTok has committed to invest US$1.5 billion into the entity. The investment means that TikTok has a controlling stake of 75.01% in the entity. The shopping features available inside the TikTok app will now be operated and maintained by the enlarged entity in Indonesia.

While TikTok partnered with GoTo to evade the ban imposed by the authorities in Indonesia, other social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp have applied for social commerce permits in the country.
