What it is

A practitioners' room that travels the region.

ShopX Network is the community arm of ShopX — small, senior rooms that move city to city, built to trade what actually works in cross-border commerce right now.

City by city

A rotating chapter in a new APAC hub each month — hosted locally, connected across the region.

Practitioners only

Operators who sell, build or scale — no tourists. Everyone comes to share, not just to take.

Hands-on playbooks

Real tactics for Shopify, TikTok Shop & Amazon — cross-border, from people doing it this quarter.

The map

Thirteen cities. One network.

India, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, China and Australia — and growing. Each dot is a live or forming chapter.

How we gather

Two formats. Both hands-on.

Every chapter runs one of two — an intimate coffee chat, or a roll-up-your-sleeves buildathon.

Coffee chatShopX 2025 coffee chat

Coffee Chat

15–30 curated operators, one host, one sharp topic. Two hours, no slide theatre — just real numbers and honest lessons.

  • A local host + a guest sharing one cross-border playbook
  • Round-table Q&A — everyone contributes a lesson
  • Warm intros over coffee that outlast the room
BuildathonBuildathon

Buildathon

An afternoon of building, not watching. Teams ship a working cross-border funnel on a real store, using AI tools as building blocks.

  • Video ad → landing → AOV → retention, on a real Shopify store
  • Sponsor tools as raw blocks + mentor desks — no canned demos
  • Judged on a working checkout, then live demos & prizes
Who it's for

Curated on purpose.

We keep rooms small and senior. Here's who fits — and what we ask of you.

You do cross-border commerce

A brand/seller, agency or app builder selling — or seriously starting — across borders on Shopify, TikTok Shop or Amazon.

You bring something to the table

A tactic, a number, a hard-won lesson. The room runs on give-first, not pitch-first.

You're in (or travel to) a chapter city

Delhi · Mumbai · Indore · Bangalore · Coimbatore · Hanoi · Saigon · Bangkok · Kuala Lumpur · Singapore · Shenzhen · Shanghai · Sydney.

You'll show up

Seats are limited and free-or-low-cost — when you say yes, you turn up and take part.
