A.FAQs

53
FAQs (1/2)

1. How does Affiliate Marketing Solutions (AMS) work?


● Shopee works with a variety of affiliate publishers (like yourself) to drive traffic to Shopee to make a conversion
(sale)
● With AMS, brands are now able to offer Shopee’s Affiliate Publishers a commission for every conversion made by
the Affiliate Publishers
● Shopee AMS uses a Cost Per Sale (CPS) model
● This means a cost will only be incurred when there is a succesful, validated sale. In short, brands will only be
required to pay when there is a validated sale

1. What is the attribution model and how do you determine when a commission has to be paid?
● The attribution model used is the last-click model, i.e. the channel that the user last clicked on will get 100% of
the fee
● The last-click model is tracked via a cookie on Shopee dashboard. The click attribution period is seven (7) days
● For examples, refer here
● Commissions will be paid only for successful, validated orders. This is done by our system’s standard validation
exercise

54
FAQs (2/2)

3. What is validation?
● Validation for AMS means the act of confirming the orders driven by KOL-Affiliate publishers for Shopee are
successful and legitimate orders
● Successful orders mean NOT cancelled, invalid, return/refund orders. In short, it appears “Completed” on both
Shopee’s backend and Seller Centre
● Legitimate orders mean non-fraudulent orders. Example of fraudulent criteria here

3. Where can I find the product links for brands under AMS on my Affiliate dashboard?
● Login to your Affiliate Dashboard > Offer > Brand Offer. The list of participating AMS brands will appear there.
● Click this LINK to view the full brands list that are participating in AMS.

3. Is there a budget cap for participating AMS brands?


● Yes, there is. During instances where brands budget utilisation rate has been maximized, it will be removed from
Brand Offer under your Affiliate Dashboard. Do note that you are still able to enjoy commission from Shopee
whereby all conversions are capped to a maximum of USD 12 per checkout

55
What qualifies as Fraudulent Activities?

Order is tagged as fraud due to fraudulent practices such as:

1. Seller-buyer link: Buyer’s account is linked to the Seller’s account by device

2. Buyer-buyer link: Buyer has multiple accounts purchasing from the same Seller account

3. Multiple conversion link: Repeated focused purchase from same publisher link and/or same publisher

4. Buyer-publisher link: Buyer is Shopee’s Affiliate publishers
