Starting October 9, 2026, Shopee will apply a 0.5% service fee to each Affiliate payment bill, capped at ₱30 per payout cycle.
How it works:The 0.5% service fee is calculated based on the total commission (before tax) in each payout.
The maximum fee charged per payout is ₱30, regardless of how much you earn.
Example Calculation:- Affiliate A earns ₱1,000 → Service fee: 0.5% of ₱1,000 = ₱5
- Affiliate B earns ₱10,000 → Service fee: 0.5% of ₱10,000 = ₱50, but only ₱30 will be charged due to the cap
The service fee will be automatically deducted by Shopee during your commission payout.
Important dates:- September 14 to 20, 2026 (Week 37) – Commissions from validation periods starting on this date are covered by the Service Fee. Commissions validated before September 14 are not charged.
- October 9, 2026 – First payout with the Service Fee deducted. All payouts before this date are not affected.
Frequently asked questions:Q: When will I first see the Service Fee deducted?A: On your October 9, 2026 payout.Q: Are my payouts before October 9 affected?A: No. All payouts released before October 9, 2026 are not charged the Service Fee.Q: Why are there two dates?A: Commissions are validated first, then paid out later. The fee covers commissions earned from September 14-20, 2026 onwards, and those commissions are first paid on October 9, 2026. That's why the deduction appears on October 9.Note: The service fee applies to all Affiliates, MCNs, and Partners, except for commissions generated through YouTube Shopping.
