1. Free Shipping Service (FSS) Integration
- Effective Date: March 1, 2026 (Local Time).
- Change: The FSS program will be integrated into Shopee's core platform services. It will transition from an optional value-added service to a standard feature for all stores. All shops will enjoy FSS benefits at no additional cost.
2. Commission Rate Adjustments
- Effective Date: March 1, 2026 (Local Time).
- Scope: Applies to cross-border direct shipping stores and third-party warehouse (3PF) stores on Shopee Brazil.
- Key Change: The per-item commission and per-item transaction fee caps for 3PF stores will be removed. Please refer to the official fee table (in Brazilian Real - BRL) for new rates.
- Note: New rates apply only to orders generated on or after the effective date.
3. Buyer Incentives & Pricing Guidance
To boost store conversion, Shopee will increase buyer incentives, including platform free shipping vouchers and exclusive discounts for specific payment channels.
