Marketplaces & General Malls — Korean Platforms
Sales channels where you list on major e-commerce marketplaces.
Korea's general marketplaces are where most online product discovery ends in a transaction, and the field is dominated by a small number of players with very different mechanics: Coupang runs its own end-to-end logistics network, while Naver Smart Store sits directly on top of Korea's dominant search and price-comparison traffic. For a foreign business this is usually the first category to study, because listing requirements, local business registration, and customer-service expectations here set the baseline for everything else in Korean e-commerce.
