Yes, you can use third-party channels (like MedanAja.com) to promote your Shopee, Tokopedia, or Blibli listings and drive traffic to these platforms. This is not only allowed but also encouraged as part of their marketing strategies. Here’s how it works:
: Shopee supports off-platform advertising through tools like Facebook Ads and Google Ads. Sellers can use these channels to attract external traffic to their Shopee stores. Shopee even provides features like “External Platform Visitor Reports” to track performance from such campaigns.
: Similar to Shopee, Tokopedia allows sellers to use external platforms like social media or search engines to promote their products and drive traffic to their stores. However, sellers must ensure that promotions comply with Tokopedia’s advertising policies.
: Sellers on Blibli can also use external advertising platforms to boost visibility and bring traffic to their listings, provided the campaigns follow Blibli’s guidelines.
These platforms encourage external promotion as long as it directs traffic to their marketplace and not away from it.
If using other platforms, check with their rules.
No Not everybody. But anybody operating from the Medan-Area may do so.
The whole purpose of MedanAja.com is to be a platform promoting products from Medan-Area sellers.
So only sellers who reside in the Medan-Area or operate from a premisses in the Medan-Area are expected to sell via the MedanAja.com platform.
A good rule of thumb, for most products, will be “Can the item be delivered to the buyer within 1-2 days”.
Of course that may not be possible for some items but as long as you are local then it is OK.
There is an “Abuse” link on each sellers profile so sellers may be reported and removed if found to be abusing the platform.

Search factors you may want to consider as you place a post.
- The ‘Search’ engine uses the ‘title’ and the ‘description’ as the resource to match with the search request.
- The Title – No need to complicate the title but make it as concise as possible but not overly long.
- The Description – This is where you can give more detail about the item and be sure to include the keywords you wish your product rank by.
For ease of placing an advert follow the following steps in order.
- FIRST: Choose your product from the market-place you are listing your product on (Tokopedia, Shopee, or other), and copy the full URL (page address).
- On the MedanAja.com site click the ‘+ Add Listing’ and then go to ‘Outward URL’ at the top of the page.
- Enter the long URL (from step 1) into the text box, (it doesn’t matter how long it is).
- Copy and paste the product title (keep it short) and the description from the market-place to the relevant text box on the ‘+ Add Listing’ page.
-
Make sure you complete ALL the relevant text boxes and categories etc.
NOTE: If after completion and pressing ‘Ad Advert (Pasang Iklan)’ nothing seems to happen then scroll up .
The probability is you have missed something.
