Standard credit card acceptance on invoices for clients prioritizing points or corporate cards.
Optional fee to transfer invoice proceeds to your debit card within 30 minutes instead of 2-day bank clearing.

What is the fee difference between Shopee Preferred Sellers and Shopee Mall? ▼
Non-preferred marketplace sellers pay base commission rates (typically 4% to 6%); Preferred Sellers pay slightly higher commissions (~6% to 8%) in exchange for search ranking boosts; and official Shopee Mall brand stores pay between 8% and 10% commission with dedicated brand marketing support.
How do the Free Shipping Special Program (FSS) and Coins Cashback (CCB) service fees work? ▼
Sellers can opt into Shopee's Free Shipping (FSS) and Coins Cashback (CCB) programs to offer free shipping vouchers and 10% cashback vouchers to shoppers. Shopee charges an opt-in service fee of 3% to 5% per completed order for each program.
How does statutory sales tax apply across Shopee markets (Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia)? ▼
Shopee automatically accounts for local taxes: 9% GST in Singapore, 8% SST on low-value goods in Malaysia, 12% VAT in the Philippines, and 11% PPN in Indonesia, deducting applicable taxes from seller commission invoices.
What is Fulfilled by Shopee (FBS) and how are warehousing rates calculated? ▼
Fulfilled by Shopee (FBS) provides complete inventory storage, picking, packing, and dispatch from Shopee regional hubs, offering competitive per-item pick-pack fees and priority next-day delivery badges.
What are Shopee's penalty points and late shipment rate (LSR) thresholds? ▼
Shopee assesses penalty points if your Late Shipment Rate exceeds 10% or if your Non-Fulfillment Rate exceeds 10%. Accumulating penalty points results in temporary exclusion from flash sales, loss of Preferred Seller status, and search demotion.
How does Shopee Seller Wallet payout and withdrawal schedule work? ▼
Cleared sales proceeds deposit into your Shopee Seller Wallet within 2 to 3 days after the buyer clicks 'Order Received'. Sellers can initiate automated or manual bank withdrawals, with 1 to 3 free weekly withdrawals depending on the country.
