Shopee Extends Commission-Free Period for First Stores in Singapore to 6 Months, Tiered Incentives Across 8 Markets to Take Effect September 3

On September 4, it was reported that Shopee updated its commission incentive policy for new sellers on September 3, 2026, extending the commission-free period for first stores on the Singapore site from the original 3 months to 6 months, with a monthly cap of 500 eligible orders for the commission waiver. This policy will be implemented in conjunction with the incentive policy that took effect on January 1, 2026 across eight markets (Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Brazil, Mexico, and Taiwan), which offers either a 3-month commission waiver or a 10% direct commission discount for first stores. The combined policies create a tiered incentive structure with a 6-month waiver for Singapore and 3-month waivers for the other seven markets. In terms of implementation rules, eligibility is based on the date when the first store's sales rights are activated, with a monthly cutoff on the 19th. Sellers who activate their stores on or before the 19th of a given month will be eligible for incentives starting the following month; those who activate after the 19th will receive incentives starting the month after next.
