No live commerce agency in this market publishes a compliance guide. A live claim is spoken, unscripted and unreviewable before it airs — here is exactly what CPETTR 2024, the Consumer Protection Act 1999, and KKM/MDC rules actually require of it.

Live commerce sits on top of a marketplace practice this site has documented for years — Shopee and Lazada listing optimisation, TikTok Shop as a managed conversion channel — and this section is where the operating layer of that practice gets published at page depth:
- what a managed live session actually costs,
- how Shopee Live, TikTok LIVE and Lazada Live compare on the numbers that matter,
- and the compliance surface almost no agency in this market covers, because a live claim is spoken, unscripted and unreviewable before it airs in a way a written ad never is.
We also publish the metrics live sellers actually need — session GMV, watch-to-buy rate, contribution margin per session — because GMV alone is the industry's vanity metric and we report against it the same way we report against views on every other channel: shown, never led on.
