The digital era for MSMEs is a new era that is full of challenges but has big opportunities. Challenges and opportunities can be used as a strength by MSMEs to face the economic crisis after the Covid-19 pandemic. The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on MSME actors has caused sales to drop drastically, this is also felt by MSMEs in Barito Kuala Regency. So it is necessary to have a marketing strategy to increase the number of sales by utilizing digital technology. The purpose of this study was to determine the direct and indirect effect of digital marketing in increasing sales of MSMEs in Barito Kuala Regency with the mediation of technological capital. It is hoped that this research will serve as a solution for MSMEs in Barito Kuala Regency in increasing and recovering sales after the Covid-19 pandemic.
