How will I be charged?


You will only be charged when shoppers click on your ads. The cost will be deducted from your Ads Credit.


To protect sellers, Shopee system auto-detects invalid clicks, such as repeated clicks from the same shopper or automated clicks. You will not be charged for such clicks.



What determines my ad's exposure?


As multiple sellers advertise their shops with Search Ads, your ad competes with other ads to be displayed at the top of search results page. 


Your ad exposure is determined by 2 factors*:


  1. Cost-per-click bid price refers to the highest price you are willing to pay when a shopper clicks on your ad.
  2. The higher your bid price, the more likely your ad will be displayed
  3. The actual price charged is often less than your bid price. The Shopee ad auction system calculates the minimum amount required to show your ad
  4. Shop relevance is determined by the quality of your shop and how relevant your shop is to the chosen keyword. The higher your shop relevance, the more likely your ad will be displayed.


*Note: If your shop does not have enough products relevant to the keyword, your shop ad will not be shown to shoppers.



Who can use Search Ads to advertise their shops?


Shop Search Ads is currently open to sellers selected by Shopee with a good track record in sales and order ratings. Your eligibility is automatically updated every day.
