Seller Pao vs Excel / Google Sheets
Spreadsheets are a fine starting point but they don't scale with your store.
Many Thai online sellers start with Excel or Google Sheets because they're free and familiar. But once orders exceed 30–50 per day, manual spreadsheet management creates real problems: hand-printing shipping labels, delayed stock updates, and an error rate that grows with every new order. Seller Pao is purpose-built for Thai sellers running multiple sales channels.

Why Seller Pao is different
Built specifically for e-commerce
From auto-pulling Shopee and Lazada orders to printing Flash Express labels in one click everything works together without copying data between apps.
Eliminates human error
When order data is pulled automatically and addresses go directly to the courier system, the risk of wrong deliveries or typos drops significantly.
Time saved is real profit
Saving 2 hours a day is 60 hours per month time you can put into live selling, product photography, or customer care instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
Excel is free is Seller Pao worth paying for?
Excel costs nothing in software fees, but managing orders manually takes 2–4 hours per day. If your time (or an employee's) is worth 100–200 THB per hour, the real monthly cost of Excel is far more than 590 THB.
I only have 20–30 orders per day. Do I still need a system?
At 20–30 orders, Excel still works. But if your store is growing, starting with a proper system now is far easier than migrating when you're busy and overwhelmed. Try it free and decide for yourself.
Is migrating from Excel to Seller Pao difficult?
Product and customer data can be imported via CSV. The support team assists with migration at no extra cost.
Google Sheets can be shared with a team. Does Seller Pao support that too?
Yes. Seller Pao supports multi-user access with configurable permissions sales, packing, and accounting teams each see what they need, nothing they don't.
What happens if the system goes down?
Seller Pao runs on cloud infrastructure with 99.9% uptime SLA and daily data backups. Unlike Excel, you never lose work to a corrupted or accidentally deleted file.
