Groupon Indonesia Stops Offering Shopping Deals

Groupon Indonesia confirm that they have stopped selling shopping deals in the service. Groupon Indonesia, which is the result of the acquisition of services daily deal Disdus, stated that it will continue to sell restaurant vouchers, health and lifestyle services, and travel on its website. In the future, they hope to build the largest local market, which we assume will be in the form of an online marketplace.

In its heyday, around 2011-2012, Groupon Indonesia was the largest in the segment daily deal. In the past year, with the abandonment of this business segment globally, consumers have begun to switch back to the concept of online marketplace which has proven to be viable.

We don't know how much trouble there is in the segment shopping deals this, but this closing is proof that both from the side merchant and consumers no longer support this business concept.

The following is the confirmation email provided by Groupon Indonesia customer service:
