What is different for a small shop in Southeast Asia?
Shopee, Lazada and Carousell are usually browser steps, WhatsApp is too, and GST or SST prep is a checklist for your accountant, not a filing the bot makes.

Start with mail and a spreadsheet
Those have connectors. They are the morning brief and the weekly scorecard.
Treat marketplaces as a browser
Shopee, Lazada and Carousell do not have a native connector here. The bot can draft a listing. You submit the form.
Keep WhatsApp as a step you finish
Orders that arrive in chat can be copied into a sheet the bot reads. Do not give it a chat login you cannot revoke.
Tax prep is a checklist
A bot can pull figures you already exported and list gaps. It does not file GST in Singapore or SST in Malaysia. Your accountant does.
Schemes are information
A search can list a grant name and a deadline. It is not advice that you qualify.
