How Shopee Voucher Codes Work and Why They Matter to Your Shop

If you sell on Shopee Philippines, voucher codes are one of the fastest ways to influence shopper behaviour — increase conversion, encourage larger carts, and win repeat buyers.
This guide shows what vouchers do, how to set them up, practical tactics Filipinos sellers can use, and common mistakes to avoid.
A Shopee voucher is a digital coupon that gives buyers a discount (percentage or fixed amount) or free shipping at checkout. Vouchers can be issued by Shopee (platform vouchers) or by you as the seller (shop/product vouchers).
When used correctly, vouchers lower friction at checkout and can increase conversion and average order value — especially during sale events. For sellers, vouchers are a promotional tool that can be tightly controlled (start/end dates, minimum spend, usage limits).
(1). Platform vouchers — issued by Shopee and visible to many users. They are great for mass reach.
(2). Shop (seller) vouchers — created in Seller Centre or the Shopee app. Use these to reward returning customers or to nudge hesitant buyers with a low-threshold discount.
(3). Payment/partner vouchers & free shipping — extra discounts when buyers use a specific payment method or meet free-shipping conditions. These often stack with shop/platform vouchers depending on Shopee policy for the campaign.
Historically, Shopee has allowed stacking like “shop voucher + platform voucher + free shipping” in many markets, but rules can change, so double-check before launching a campaign.
Shopee provides a Seller Voucher wizard in both Seller Centre (web) and the mobile app. Basic steps:
Choose voucher type — shopwide or product-specific.
Set discount rules — fixed amount or percentage, minimum spend, maximum claims per user, and campaign dates.
Limit usage & track performance — set total redemptions and later check redemption and conversion in Seller Centre analytics. Shopee’s Seller Voucher User Guide shows exact field names and examples.
(1). Use tiered vouchers to increase AOV
Offer PHP 30 off PHP 300, PHP 100 off PHP 800, etc. This nudges buyers to add items to meet the next threshold and increases average order value (AOV). Track which thresholds convert best and adjust.
(2). Align vouchers with the calendar
Launch targeted vouchers around salary days, local holidays, and Shopee mega sales (e.g., 9.9, 11.11). Buyers in the Philippines are highly sale-driven — calendar-timed offers often deliver the highest ROI.
(3). Keep short, frequent micro-offers
Short windows (1–3 days) for flash vouchers create urgency and are cheaper to run than month-long discounts. Combine with Shopee Live or a small ad spend to amplify reach.
(4). Promote your shop voucher off-platform
Share direct voucher links via social (Facebook groups, SMS to customers, Viber) and include voucher info in your product descriptions and storefront banner.
(1). Too-generous discounts — overly large discounts shrink margins. Instead, A/B test small vouchers first and scale what works.
(2). Expired or poorly communicated vouchers — always verify start/end times and show expiry clearly in product listings and banners.
(3). Voucher stacking misunderstandings — Shopee’s stacking rules have changed over time and may differ by market or campaign. Assume rules can change and confirm stacking behavior for your specific campaign before promising combined discounts.
Vouchers are not a silver bullet, but when used strategically they drive conversion and customer loyalty. Start with small, defined experiments: create a shop voucher, promote it during a payday window, and measure the conversion and AOV impact. Use Shopee’s Seller Centre guides for the exact setup fields and keep monitoring platform policy changes (like stacking rules) that could affect your results.
In addition, sellers with multiple Shopee stores can use ERP tools like BigSeller for management. They can leverage features such as Shopee Auto Boost, Store Flash Deal and Discount Promotion to boost sales and improve efficiency.
