About Shopee Affiliate
Shopee Affiliate lets approved participants recommend marketplace products using trackable links. Earnings come from qualifying attributed purchases, so the role is content and recommendation rather than stocking or shipping the goods.
What the work involves
Pick products that fit the audience you already reach. Show a useful comparison or demonstration and explain who the item suits. Keep a record of each link and campaign so you can distinguish an order that was tracked from commission that was validated.
₱1,500–₱6,000/month
Assume an eligible ₱1,000 order pays a 3% commission. That is ₱30 per approved order, so 50–200 approved orders in a month produce ₱1,500–₱6,000 before content costs and tax. The 3% is a sample rate, not a Shopee-wide offer. Check the selected product, campaign caps and which cancelled or returned orders are excluded.

Your questions about Shopee Affiliate
How should I choose my first products to recommend?
Start with a small group of products you understand, such as desk accessories or cooking tools. Check the exact variant, seller listing and delivery information before sharing a link. A recommendation is easier to maintain when you can explain who the item suits and answer practical questions about it.
How can I avoid recommending the wrong product variant?
Open your link as a buyer and check the selected size, model and quantity. A listing may contain several variants with different prices. Name the version you are discussing in your post so readers do not assume the cheapest option has all the features you showed.
What should I do when a promoted item sells out?
Replace the unavailable link only after checking the alternative yourself. Update the caption if the brand, size or specification changes. For an older post that you cannot edit, add a visible correction rather than letting readers follow an outdated recommendation.
How can I tell which recommendations are worth repeating?
Keep a simple record of each post, product and publication date. Compare the resulting confirmed commission with the time and money spent producing it. Use buyer questions to improve the next post instead of repeating an item just because it received many views.
What makes a useful product comparison?
Compare products for a specific need, such as a small kitchen or a limited budget. Explain dimensions, compatibility and differences that affect daily use. Separate firsthand experience from specifications you have checked, and show where a cheaper option may be sufficient.
What should I have ready for my affiliate application?
Prepare your main social account URL, the categories you want to promote and an email address you can verify. Have your personal details and the public links to your publishing channels ready. Check that the links open the intended public profiles before submitting the application.
Which income records should I keep?
Save the affiliate commission reports, payment confirmations and receipts for content-production expenses. Keep sales value separate from your own commission. For tax preparation, your record should show what you earned from referrals rather than the full value of products bought by your audience.
