Doing Business in Medan

Medan businesses come to DND Teams for one accountable team that can handle the website, search, social media, ads and customer messaging together.

Medan is the largest city on Sumatra and a hub for palm oil, rubber and plantation trade through the port of Belawan.

Medan audiences include Batak, Malay, Chinese and Javanese communities.

Key business areas include Medan Kota, Medan Baru, Polonia and Belawan port. Our work for Medan clients is shaped by these local conditions, the languages your customers use (Indonesian) and the regulations of Indonesia.

Medan's customers include palm-oil and plantation firms, traders, manufacturers, healthcare and retailers.

How they choose and contact a business

Medan customers use WhatsApp.

When demand peaks

Ramadan, Eid and Chinese New Year are key moments. Across all channels we plan campaigns before these dates rather than reacting once demand has already peaked.

Digital Habits and Channels in Indonesia

Indonesia is one of WhatsApp's largest markets, and most customers expect to chat with businesses there; Instagram, TikTok and marketplaces such as Shopee and Tokopedia are major discovery channels. Business SMS sender IDs (masking) are registered with the operators, such as Telkomsel, Indosat and XL.

QRIS, the national QR payment standard, and e-wallets such as GoPay, OVO, DANA and ShopeePay are widely used, alongside bank transfers. Ramadan and the Lebaran (Eid) holiday, when millions travel home (mudik), are the year's biggest commercial period, followed by the 11.11 and 12.12 online sales and Harbolnas.

Indonesia is the world's fourth most populous country, and its economy includes palm oil, coal, nickel, manufacturing and a fast-growing digital economy led by GoTo and Shopee. VAT is 12% on luxury goods, with an effective rate of 11% for most goods. The Personal Data Protection Law (Law 27 of 2022) came into full effect in October 2024.

Compliance Overview for Indonesia

SMS in Indonesia is overseen by the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Komdigi, formerly Kominfo). Alphanumeric sender IDs, often called masking, are registered with the operators, and promotional messages should go only to consenting customers.

Indonesia's Personal Data Protection Law (Law No. 27 of 2022), fully in force since October 2024, requires a lawful basis, privacy notices and safeguards for personal data collected online.

General information only, not legal advice. Each service page for Medan covers the rules relevant to that channel. See also the messaging compliance guide for Indonesia and our industry guides.
