Choose the right e-commerce platform mix for a Taiwan business — DTC platforms (Shopline, 91APP, Shopify), marketplaces (Shopee, momo, PChome), or hybrid. Use when comparing platform fees, traffic potential, brand control trade-offs, or designing a go-to-market channel strategy for Taiwan. Do NOT use for specific platform integration details (see platform-specific skills). STATUS: SKELETON — body pending.

Taiwan E-Commerce Channel Strategy

STATUS: SKELETON — body pending. Prefer tw-ecom-dtc-shopline for platform-specific depth in the meantime.

When to use this skill

  • Choosing the initial e-commerce platform for a new Taiwan D2C brand
  • Deciding whether to sell DTC-only, marketplace-only, or hybrid
  • Estimating TCO across platform fees, payment fees, and operational overhead
  • Comparing platform unit economics before channel expansion
  • Reassessing platform mix when scaling past NT$10M annual revenue

Do NOT use when

  • You already know the platform and need integration specifics → use the platform-specific skill
  • The question is about global (non-Taiwan) platform choice → general e-commerce skills apply

Core concepts

TODO: decision dimensions (fees, traffic, brand control, ops complexity), DTC vs marketplace typology, platform-fee tiers.

Decision tree

TODO: flow chart keyed on annual revenue / brand strength / ops capacity.

Implementation guidance

TODO: how to shortlist, pilot, measure, decide.

Gotchas

TODO: 5-6 specific platform-selection traps for Taiwan businesses.

IRON LAW

TODO: one non-obvious constraint (candidate: "Platform fees look comparable on paper but traffic acquisition cost is where margins die — always model unit economics with realistic CAC per platform").

Output Format

TODO: Markdown template for platform selection recommendation.
