## What structure does an online / Shopee / TikTok seller need?

Last updated: 14 October 2026 Answer from Robo Company Secretary How we write answers

Selling online in Malaysia requires SSM registration — marketplaces and payment gateways ask for the certificate, and unregistered trading is an offence. Whether that registration is a cheap enterprise or a Sdn Bhd depends on scale: many sellers start as enterprises and incorporate when volumes, supplier credit or platform requirements grow.

One e-commerce specific: keep an eye on the e-Invois phase your turnover puts you in, and on SST once taxable turnover approaches the registration threshold. Both are deadline-tracked for our retainer clients.

### Key facts

- SSM registration required to trade online
- Platforms/gateways request the certificate
- Watch e-Invois phase + SST threshold as volume grows
