  • Add products to an online store.

  • Integrate payment gateways like Billplz and Stripe.

  • Connect with Malaysia courier services such as PosLaju, J&T, Ninja Van and DHL eCommerce.

Think of WooCommerce as your ecommerce engine and MyParcel Asia as your logistics partner that makes sure orders flow smoothly.
