In recent days, there have been several rumors stating that the Shopee Affiliate program will end on July 31, 2023, due to some inaccurate reports on several web portals. For information, the service that will be terminated is Shopee Seller Affiliate, and not the usual Shopee Affiliate.
Shopee Seller Affiliate is a program that allows sellers and merchants on the Shopee platform to earn extra money by sharing links – and receive commissions on purchases. According to the Seller Affiliate support page, the program has not received any new registrations since last May.
Shopee stated that Shopee Seller Affiliate will be terminated in their efforts to focus resources channeled into initiatives that better serve sellers and buyers. Those who join the Shopee Seller Affiliate will continue to generate incentives until the end of July 2023, after which all incentives will be changed to 0% - meaning that they will not generate any income through the link.
As an alternative to that, those who want to earn through sharing links, can register for the Shopee Affiliate program. For now, the Shopee Affiliate program is still ongoing, and it is not yet known when it will end. There are over 40,000 users participating in the Shopee Affiliate program at the moment.
In addition to Shopee Affiliate, there is also a program under Involve Asia that offers a program to make money on sales, which covers more platforms including Lazada.
