How to become a Shopee affiliate (Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore)

Shopee is where a lot of people in the Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore look for cheap finds, and its affiliate program lets you earn when people buy through the links you share. This guide shows where to sign up in each country, what to check before you start and how to share Shopee deals on WhatsApp in a way that members actually click.

The short answer: go to the official affiliate portal for your country (Philippines, Malaysia or Singapore), sign up there, read the terms shown in the portal, and create tracked links for the products you want to promote. Shopee Singapore sums up the idea on its portal: you earn cash commissions when you share your links and they lead to a successful order. Rates, payout rules and eligibility are set per country and change over time, so check the current rates on the official site.

How the Shopee Affiliate Program works

The model is the same as most affiliate programs: Shopee gives you a link that identifies you. When someone clicks it and places an order that counts under the program rules, you earn a commission. You never touch the product. The seller ships, Shopee handles payment and returns, and you focus on finding good deals and sharing them with the right people.

What makes Shopee a good fit for WhatsApp groups is the type of product: lots of low-priced items, home gadgets, beauty, fashion and phone accessories. These are impulse buys that work well in a short message with a photo and a price.

Which portal to use: Philippines, Malaysia or Singapore

Shopee runs a separate affiliate portal for each market. Use the one for the country where you live and where your audience shops. A link from the Philippine store won't help a member in Kuala Lumpur.

What to check before you sign up

We couldn't confirm the full requirements, commission tables and payout rules for each country, because they are shown inside the portals and change often. Instead of trusting numbers from other blogs, open the portal and look for answers to these questions:

How to sign up, step by step

The exact screens change over time and differ a bit between countries, but the path looks like this:

1. 1
   Open your country's portal

   Go to affiliate.shopee.ph, affiliate.shopee.com.my or affiliate.shopee.sg. Type the address yourself instead of clicking ads.

2. 2
   Log in and start the application

   Follow the on-screen steps. Use your real details, since payouts have to match your identity.

3. 3
   Describe where you'll promote

   Be honest about your channels, including your WhatsApp group or community, and any social profiles you use to invite people.

4. 4
   Read the terms

   Before you accept, read the program terms. Note what they say about channels, prohibited content and payouts.

5. 5
   Set up payout details

   Fill in the payment and tax information the portal asks for, so your first commission isn't held up.

6. 6
   Create your first link

   Pick one product in your niche and generate a tracked link with the portal's tools. Test it on your phone.

What to promote: niches that suit Shopee

Shopee members love finds: cheap, useful, a little surprising. A focused group performs better than one that posts everything. Some niches that tend to work well with low-ticket products:

Before you share a product, look at the shop's ratings, the reviews with photos and the shipping origin. A deal that arrives late or broken costs you more trust than the commission is worth. For more ways to spot real deals, see how to find good deals every day.

How to share Shopee links on WhatsApp

A Shopee deal on WhatsApp needs four things: a hook, the price, one reason to buy and the link, plus a short disclosure. Compare:

🛍️ *{PRODUCT}*
Now *{PRICE}* (price at time of posting)
✅ {ONE-LINE BENEFIT}
⭐ {SHOP RATING} · ships from {LOCATION}
👉 {LINK}
#ad · I earn a commission if you buy through this link.

Here's what a calm, well-run Shopee group looks like on a sale day:

How often and when

Spread your deals through the day at fixed times, instead of posting twenty at once. Members learn the rhythm and come back. On big sale days you can post more, but warn people the day before. Times that tend to work are in the best times to post deals on WhatsApp.

Plan your month around double-date sales

In Southeast Asia, marketplaces run big campaigns on "double dates", when the day and month match. Shopee has campaign pages for them, like 10.10 in the Philippines and 10.10 in Malaysia. The exact schedule, vouchers and start times for each event are announced by the store, so check the campaign page as the date gets closer.

1. 10.10
   10.10 (Saturday, Oct 10, 2026)

   Warm up the group a few days before: tell members what categories you'll cover.

2. 11.11
   11.11 (Wednesday, Nov 11, 2026)

   Also known as Singles' Day, a major shopping date across Asia. Prepare your product list in advance.

3. 12.12
   12.12 (Saturday, Dec 12, 2026)

   Good timing for Christmas gifts. Remind members about delivery times.

Your daily routine as a Shopee affiliate

1. Morning (15 min): check flash deals and campaign pages in your niche and save five to ten candidates.
2. Filter (10 min): keep only products from well-rated shops with real reviews.
3. Create links (10 min): generate tracked links in the portal and test one on your phone.
4. Post (spread through the day): two or three time slots, a few deals in each.
5. Evening (5 min): answer questions privately and note which products got the most replies.
6. Weekly: check the portal reports and drop categories that don't convert.
