You want to try Shopee Affiliate but do not know where to start, and you are wary of exaggerated income claims. This article goes step by step: sign up, make your first link, choose products, write posts and log which channel brings real clicks. It states no income and no commission rates, because every account and period differs.

What affiliate is, and what it is not

Affiliate means you share product links through your own channels. When someone taps the link and buys, and the order meets the conditions, Shopee pays commission as the program sets. You do not stock goods, pack parcels or talk to customers about delivery.

Sign up for Shopee Affiliate step by step

There are 2 ways to sign up, on the web and in the app. Screens and menu names can change, so follow Shopee's latest help page.

1. Prepare a channel to connect

   Shopee asks you to connect at least 1 platform, such as TikTok, Instagram, X, YouTube or Facebook, so it can review your promotion channel. Use an account that already has real posts.

2. Sign up on the web or in the app

   On the web go to affiliate.shopee.co.th and tap sign up, fill in account details and connect the channel. In the app enter phone and email, verify the OTP and check the details before sending.

3. Wait for review

   The help page says the web route sends a confirmation email within 1 to 2 business days. While waiting, do not pay anyone for a link or access.

4. Read the terms and conditions

   Check commission, how orders are counted and what is not allowed on the program's terms page before you post.

Choose products that match your followers

Viewers do not buy because of a link. They buy because the product fits a problem they have. Start with products you use yourself or that followers already ask about.

For writing text people keep reading, see sales caption formulas, which also adapt to product recommendation posts.

Make your first link and place it

Shopee lets you create a link from a product page, a shop page or a campaign page, per its help page on sharing links, and there is a My Collection feature that bundles several links into one. Button names and menu positions depend on your app version.

1. Open the chosen product in the Shopee app

   Use the account signed up to Affiliate and find the share or create affiliate link button as Shopee shows it.

2. Copy the link and test it

   Open it from another device or a private window and check it goes to the product page you will describe in the post.

3. Note where the link will go

   Write it in your log: product, which post, which channel and date, so you can read results later.

4. Place the link where the social app allows

   Some apps do not make caption links tappable, so put it in the profile link or wherever the app supports.

3 post types for beginners

All 3 start from the viewer's problem, not from selling. Examples use invented products; put in your own real product names and details.

Short review

Use it when you have used the product for at least a few days.

Product list

Use it to recommend several items on one theme. Add links with My Collection if your app has it.

Compare 2 items

Use it when viewers hesitate between 2 kinds of product. Compare on things you can check, such as size, weight and price, and do not claim one is best for everyone.

Track results: what to log each week

Shopee's Affiliate report page shows whatever data it offers for your own account. What Shopee does not separate for you, you must log yourself. The table below is what to note each week.

One filled-in line might read: 5 Sep | invented bottle | TikTok | short review | clicks 12 | orders 1 (invented numbers to show the format, not an average). After 4 weeks, compare which channel or post type brought more taps.

For more on reading numbers from the app, see reading social analytics to decide where to invest.

Watch out: say clearly it is a recommendation link

Viewers have the right to know you earn commission. Saying so plainly makes the recommendation more credible and lowers the risk of hidden advertising. For advertising law, check with the relevant government bodies. This article is not legal advice.
