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.
