The growth of the digital economy has accelerated the development of online shops as part of digital MSMEs; however, this growth has not been fully supported by systematic financial management practices. This study aims to analyze financial management strategies applied by online shops in Parepare City based on four main indicators: financial planning, recording, reporting, and control. This research employed a qualitative approach within a postpositivist paradigm. Data were collected through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation from five online shops selected using purposive sampling. Data analysis followed an interactive model consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while data credibility was ensured through source and method triangulation. The findings reveal that financial management practices have been implemented by all research objects but remain at a basic level. Financial planning is primarily short-term and experience-based, financial recording is predominantly manual, financial reporting does not yet include formal profit and loss analysis, and financial control lacks measurable quantitative indicators. These results indicate that the main challenge in online shop financial management lies not in the absence of financial practices, but in the quality of implementation and the use of financial data for strategic decision-making. This study is expected to contribute empirically to the literature on digital MSME financial management and provide practical guidance for online shop owners to improve sustainable financial management practices.

The findings indicate that consistent ethical practices significantly enhance corporate reputation, improve customer loyalty, and foster a healthy work environment. The integration of fairness, honesty, transparency, and social responsibility has proven to be critical in ensuring corporate sustainability and growth within the competitive digital industry. This study underscores the imperative for companies to systematically embed ethical principles into all operational activities in order to address evolving regulatory frameworks, market competition, and rising societal expectations.

MSMEs play a key role in the national economy, especially in increasing economic growth and creating new jobs. However, in the digital era, MSMEs face major problems, such as low levels of digital literacy, limited access to the internet, and fierce competition with large companies that have used technology before. This study examines the variables that influence the sustainability of MSMEs amidst digital challenges and finds methods that can be used so that MSMEs can survive and grow. The research method was carried out through surveys and direct interviews with MSME actors at Pasar Pagi Setia Budi, Medan, North Sumatra. The results of the study showed that most MSME actors did not utilize digital platforms for marketing and transactions, which resulted in decreased income. To increase competitiveness, MSMEs need to improve their digital knowledge, adopt online marketing strategies, and optimize the use of e-commerce and social media. Support from the government, financial institutions, and technology companies is also very important. In the increasingly competitive digital era, by implementing the right digitalization strategy, MSMEs can improve operational efficiency, expand market reach, and maintain the sustainability of their business.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play an important role in the Indonesian economy, contributing 61.07% to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and absorbing 97% of the workforce. However, this sector still faces various challenges, both from internal factors such as limited capital, human resources, and access to technology, as well as external factors such as a less conducive business climate, inadequate infrastructure, and technological development. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach to analyze the problems faced by MSMEs and find strategic solutions. The results of the study show that government support, optimization of access to financing, and utilization of digital technology are needed to increase the competitiveness of MSMEs so that they can continue to grow and make a greater contribution to national economic growth.
