Penelitian komparatif ini menganalisis 10 platform e-commerce terkemuka di Indonesia berdasarkan 35 parameter kinerja yang mencakup biaya transaksi, fitur teknis, user experience, dan potensi monetization. Analisis dilakukan melalui testing langsung selama periode Januari-Maret 2024 terhadap 1.000+ transaksi simulasi, survey terhadap 500 seller aktif, dan data analytics dari SimilarWeb & App Annie.

6.2.2 ROI Calculator Template

ROI CALCULATION FORMULA:
ROI = (Net Profit / Total Investment) × 100%

EXAMPLE CALCULATION FOR SHOPEE:
- Average Order Value: Rp 300,000
- Product Cost: Rp 150,000 (50% margin)
- Platform Fees: 12% × Rp 300,000 = Rp 36,000
- Shipping Cost: Rp 15,000 (seller portion)
- Net Profit per Order: Rp 300,000 - 150,000 - 36,000 - 15,000 = Rp 99,000

Monthly Investment:
- Inventory: Rp 10,000,000
- Marketing: Rp 3,000,000
- Operating Costs: Rp 2,000,000
- Total Monthly Investment: Rp 15,000,000

Monthly Performance:
- Orders: 200
- Revenue: Rp 60,000,000
- Net Profit: Rp 19,800,000

ROI = (19,800,000 / 15,000,000) × 100% = 132%
Break-even: 15,000,000 / 19,800,000 = 0.76 months
