What Shopee deducts from each order
Shopee doesn't charge listing or monthly fees for regular sellers. Instead, it takes several small cuts from every completed order. The calculator above applies them in this order:
| Fee | Default rate | Charged on |
|---|---|---|
| Commission | 9% Marketplace, 8% Mall | Item price after your discounts |
| Transaction fee | 2.24% | Everything the buyer paid, shipping included |
| Platform shipping fee | 5.6% Marketplace, 4.48% Mall (max ₱100 per item) | Item price after your discounts |
| Seller Growth Support fee | 1% or 1.5% by category | Item price after your discounts |
| Order processing fee | ₱5 per order (first 50 a month free) | Each completed order |
Commission is the one that varies most. Marketplace sellers currently pay roughly 8.5% to 10.5% depending on category, and Mall sellers roughly 6.12% to 11.08%. The 9% default sits in the middle. Your exact rate is in Seller Center, so open "Fee rates used" above, type it in and tap Save my rates. The site remembers it on your device for next time.
A worked example
Say you sell a phone accessory for ₱299. It costs you ₱150 and you spend ₱10 on packaging. You're a Marketplace seller in a 1% Seller Growth Support category, and the buyer paid no shipping.
| Commission (9%) | ₱26.91 |
| Transaction fee (2.24%) | ₱6.70 |
| Platform shipping fee (5.6%) | ₱16.74 |
| Seller Growth Support fee (1%) | ₱2.99 |
| Order processing fee | ₱5.00 |
| Total Shopee fees | ₱58.34 (19.5% of the sale) |
|---|---|
| Shopee pays you | ₱240.66 |
| Profit after ₱160 in costs | ₱80.66 (27% margin) |
Almost a fifth of the price goes to fees. That's why a product that looks like a 50% markup on paper can earn much less than you expect. In this example, any price under about ₱201 loses money.
Five ways to keep more of each sale
- Use your 90 days well. New sellers skip commission, the Seller Growth Support fee and the order processing fee for their first 90 days. Tick "I'm a new seller" to see the difference. Plan your launch stock and early promos around this window.
- Count your free orders. The first 50 completed orders each month have no ₱5 processing fee. If you sell fewer than 50 orders a month, set that fee to 0.
- Bundle low-priced items. The ₱5 processing fee is per order, not per item. On a ₱79 item it's over 6% of the sale. A 2-piece or 3-piece bundle spreads it out.
- Know where the shipping cap kicks in. The platform shipping fee stops growing at ₱100 per item, which happens at about ₱1,786 for Marketplace sellers. Above that, the fee's share of your price drops, which helps high-ticket items.
- Test opt-in programs before joining. The Mega Discount Voucher and Live Xtra programs can bring more buyers, but they add up to 4% and 3.36% more. Tick them in the rates table and see if your margin survives. If it doesn't, the extra sales may not be worth it.
The 0.5% tax Shopee withholds
Under BIR Revenue Regulations No. 16-2023, Shopee withholds 1% on half of your gross remittances, about 0.5% of sales. If your yearly gross remittances stay at ₱500,000 or less, you can avoid it by submitting a sworn declaration to the platform.
This isn't a fee. It's an advance payment of your income tax, so you deduct it from the tax you owe when you file. Tick the box above to see it on your payout slip. To compare the 8% and graduated tax options, use the online seller tax calculator.
About these rates. Shopee changes fees several times a year and rates differ by category. The defaults here were checked against public Shopee sources in November 2026. Your Seller Center always has the final word.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Shopee charge per sale in the Philippines?
For a typical Marketplace seller, total Shopee fees come to about 18% to 21% of the item price, plus ₱5 per order once you pass 50 orders in a month. The exact amount depends on your category's commission and Seller Growth Support rates.
Is the commission charged on the price before or after my discount?
After. Commission, the platform shipping fee and the Seller Growth Support fee are charged on the item price after discounts and vouchers you fund. Discounts that Shopee funds don't lower these fees.
Why is the transaction fee higher when the buyer pays shipping?
The 2.24% transaction fee is based on the full amount the buyer paid, including shipping. The other percentage fees are based only on the item price.
Do Mall sellers pay different fees?
Yes. Mall sellers have a different commission table (about 6.12% to 11.08%) and a lower platform shipping fee of 4.48%. Switch the seller type above to see Mall defaults.
