The definitive software stack for Malaysian ecommerce businesses navigating multi-channel selling, FPX/DuitNow payments, and MyInvois e-invoicing compliance.

The Tools in Detail
EasyStore
saas-tools · From USD 57/month · SEA · ms / en / zh
EasyStore is a unified commerce platform built for Malaysian and SEA merchants, centralising sales across an online store, Shopee, Lazada, social selling, and physical POS in one dashboard. With native Malaysian payment methods (FPX, GrabPay, Boost, DuitNow) and local logistics integrations (Pos Laju, J&T, NinjaVan), it is the most localised ecommerce SaaS in Malaysia. Over 50,000 brands use EasyStore to manage multi-channel inventory without manual syncing.
EasyStore is built specifically for the Malaysian market and has expanded to Singapore and Thailand. Its localised payments and logistics integrations save SEA merchants hours of manual work that global platforms like Shopify require plugins to solve. There are no transaction fees on any plan—a meaningful saving for thin-margin SME sellers managing high order volumes on Shopee and Lazada.
Best for: Malaysian SMEs selling on Shopee and Lazada simultaneously with one inventory pool; F&B and retail brands managing both online orders and walk-in customers from one system; Boutique and fashion brands growing from Instagram DM selling to a branded website; Multi-outlet retailers needing unified inventory and POS across physical locations
SiteGiant
Ecommerce · Paid · SEA, Malaysia, Singapore · EN / MS / ZH
SiteGiant is a Penang-headquartered multichannel ecommerce platform that lets merchants sell across Shopee, Lazada, Zalora, Facebook, WhatsApp, and their own webstore from one dashboard. It adds inventory sync, order management, an ecommerce ERP, and an online-merge-offline (OMO) module that ties physical stores to online channels. Founded in 2013, it processes over US$570 million in annual sales and is aimed squarely at Malaysian and regional SMEs.
Malaysian commerce is split across Shopee, Lazada, TikTok Shop, social channels, and physical shops, and SiteGiant is built for exactly that fragmentation. Its OMO module fits Malaysian retailers who never went purely online and still run outlets alongside marketplaces. It is strongest as a Malaysia-first platform; sellers whose volume is dominated by a single marketplace may find a lighter tool cheaper, but multichannel operators get real value from one synced inventory.
Best for: Malaysian SMEs selling on Shopee and Lazada plus a webstore; Retailers running both physical outlets and online channels (OMO); Brands needing one place to manage multichannel inventory; Growing sellers outgrowing single-store Shopify or marketplace apps
iPay88
Finance · Paid · Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam · EN / MS / ZH
iPay88 is a Kuala Lumpur-headquartered payment gateway and acquirer used by 50,000+ Malaysian Sdn Bhd merchants for FPX online banking, DuitNow QR, credit/debit card, and e-wallet (TouchNGo, GrabPay, Boost) acceptance. The Malaysian default for SMEs and mid-market merchants needing local-bank-relationship payment processing.
iPay88 is the Malaysian payment gateway default for Sdn Bhd merchants. Pricing varies by method; FPX runs roughly 1.4 percent plus MYR 0.50, DuitNow QR at 0.7-1.0 percent, credit cards at 2.4-2.8 percent depending on tier. For Malaysian-only merchants, iPay88 typically beats global processors (Stripe, PayPal) on FPX and DuitNow rates by 80-150 basis points. HitPay and Razer Merchant Services are the main competitors in Malaysia; iPay88 wins on Sdn Bhd merchant onboarding speed and local bank acquirer relationships, HitPay wins on cleaner API and developer experience. For Malaysian merchants over MYR 100,000 monthly volume, iPay88 is the realistic 2026 pick for cost-effective payment acceptance.
Best for: Malaysian Sdn Bhd merchants needing FPX online banking acceptance; Malaysian e-commerce sellers integrating payments into WooCommerce or Shopify; Subscription businesses serving Malaysian customers; Malaysian SMEs preferring local bank acquirer relationships
HitPay
Finance · Paid · Free tier · Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines · EN / ZH / MS / ID
HitPay is a Singapore-headquartered payment platform designed specifically for SMEs and micro-merchants in Southeast Asia. It provides a comprehensive suite of payment tools, including a payment gateway for e-commerce, physical POS terminals, and a link-based payment system, supporting local payment methods like PayNow, GrabPay, and DuitNow.
HitPay is a payment provider for SEA SMEs, but its merchant footprint is narrower than its payment-method list suggests: its pricing page offers Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines and Global as merchant countries, and QRIS is not priced anywhere on it. Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam appear only under Cross-Border Payments, where an Indonesian, Thai or Vietnamese customer pays a Singapore, Malaysian or Philippine merchant in their own local method (IDR 2% online / 1.5% in-person for Indonesia, THB 3.4% online for Thailand) with a 1% FX markup at settlement. Read the QRIS, PromptPay, VietQR and QRPH support below as customer-side acceptance, not as domestic acquiring in those markets.
Best for: SMEs and micro-merchants in Singapore and Malaysia; E-commerce sellers needing a simple payment integration; Service-based businesses using payment links; Retailers looking for an affordable omnichannel solution
AutoCount
Finance · Paid · Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines · EN / MS / ZH
AutoCount is a Petaling Jaya-headquartered accounting and ERP suite that owns the Malaysian SME accounting market with 240,000+ companies on AutoCount Accounting. Strong on Malaysian SST and the new e-Invoice mandates, multi-branch retail, and inventory for trading and distribution businesses.
AutoCount owns the Malaysian SME accounting market in 2026, particularly among Chinese-Malaysian trading and distribution businesses. Pricing is roughly MYR 1,880 to MYR 4,800 per year for the cloud edition depending on user count, and one-time license fees for the desktop edition. The LHDN MyInvois e-Invoice handling shipped on schedule for the 2026 mandate, ahead of most international vendors. Xero is cleaner UX but weaker on Malaysian SST and e-Invoice; FlowAccount handles Thailand. For Malaysian-only Sdn Bhd accounting, AutoCount is the safe default that the local accountant ecosystem already knows how to work with.
Best for: Malaysian Sdn Bhd companies needing LHDN e-Invoice compliance; Penang and KL trading and distribution businesses with multi-warehouse stock; Malaysian retail chains running 5-30 outlets with consolidated accounting; SME accountants and audit firms preparing client books in MYR
Bukku
Finance · From MYR 59/month · Free tier · Malaysia, Singapore · EN / MS / ZH
Bukku is a Selangor-headquartered cloud accounting platform designed for Malaysian SMEs and e-commerce sellers. It simplifies bookkeeping, invoicing, and inventory management with a focus on Malaysian SST compliance and automated bank feeds from major Malaysian banks. Known for its clean interface and affordable pricing for micro-SMEs.
Bukku is the modern Malaysian alternative to Xero or AutoCount, specifically tuned for local business workflows and SST requirements. Pricing is roughly MYR 59/month, making it significantly more accessible for Malaysian micro-SMEs than global alternatives. Its 2026 update added deep e-invoice integration for the Malaysian LHDN mandate, positioning it as a top choice for digital-first Sdn Bhds.
Best for: Malaysian micro-SMEs and startups; E-commerce sellers on Shopee and Lazada; Service-based businesses in Malaysia and Singapore; Accountants managing multiple small client books
SEA Operational Reasoning
Malaysian ecommerce has become highly regulated with the full roll-out of LHDN's e-invoicing mandate in 2026. Sellers can no longer rely on disjointed systems. An omnichannel platform like EasyStore or SiteGiant is necessary to manage Lazada, Shopee, and TikTok Shop inventory from one dashboard. For payments, Malaysian consumers overwhelmingly prefer FPX and DuitNow QR, making local gateways like iPay88 or HitPay essential to reduce cart abandonment. Finally, your operational flow must sync transaction data directly to an LHDN-certified accounting system like AutoCount or Bukku to automate e-invoice generation without manual data entry.
The questions operators actually ask.
Which ecommerce platforms support Malaysian MyInvois compliance?
Local platforms like EasyStore and SiteGiant are rapidly building direct integrations with certified accounting software (like AutoCount) to ensure order data flows automatically to LHDN for e-invoicing.
Do I need a local payment gateway for Malaysia?
Yes. While Stripe and PayPal are global standards, Malaysian buyers expect FPX (online banking) and DuitNow QR. Gateways like iPay88, HitPay, and Billplz are optimized for these local payment rails.
Can I use Shopify in Malaysia?
Yes, Shopify is widely used, but you will need to rely on third-party apps for deep Shopee/Lazada sync and local tax compliance, whereas local platforms often have these features native to their ecosystems.
