Shopee Checkout: What is it?

by

Shopee is one of the favorite shopping apps of Filipinos because it has so many bells and whistles.

Filipinos are known to be creative, and online sellers have discovered that Shopee can significantly help them in their online business, especially Shopee Checkout.

If you want to know what Shopee Checkout is, read more on all of the details down below.

How does Shopee Checkout work?

Using Shopee for shopping is very convenient because you need to search for the item you need, add it to your cart, and proceed to checkout.

The Shopee checkout process allows you to check what items are in your shopping cart, which items are for placing an order, applicable vouchers, and total cost.

You can also select your shipping option with the corresponding shipping fee for specific orders.

Before you finally click the Place Order button, you can set the delivery details and payment option, redeem coins, and make changes to the platform voucher.

Steps on using Checkout in Shopee

Follow these steps to get your picked items delivered right to your doorstep:

Step 1: Find the products you want to buy or click a product link.

Step 2: Click the Buy Now button, or Add to Cart button if you have more items to check.

Step 3: Go to your Shopping Cart and select a maximum of 3 shops for maximized savings.

Step 4: Check the applicable Shipping/ Discount/ Cashback voucher, payment method, and redeeming coins.

Step 5: Double-check the delivery details, shipping fee, and total order amount before clicking the Place Order Button.

Once you have successfully placed an order, you can quickly check them by going to the Me tab, then clicking To Receive under My Purchases.

What is Shopee Checkout Only?

If you are a Shopee fanatic and wonder why Shopee Checkout could be a big deal, it is a useful tool.

Even sellers outside the Shopee platform have turned to Shopee for a better customer experience.

For example, if a seller does a live selling on Facebook or Instagram, some customers prefer Shopee Checkout for easy delivery and payment.

Sellers also love Shopee because delivery couriers can pick up the items for free, which means less hassle.

You may have already encountered some weird listings on Shopee labeled as Shopee Checkout Only, and they have very low prices, such as P5 or P10.

Can I use Shopee for shipping only?

Unfortunately, Shopee no longer allows using the platform for Shopee Checkout Only or a listing just for cheaper courier rates.

The system automatically detects such listings, resulting in items being deleted and the seller being penalized.

Sellers can still use Shopee for online live selling, but they should follow the proper labeling of products.

Note: Shopee has released an advisory regarding Checkout Only listings.

How to do the Shopee Checkout link?

One nifty feature of Shopee is being able to generate a Checkout link for a particular product listing.

Follow these steps if you want to share a product listing with your family, friend, or customers:

Step 1: Go to the live product page you want to share.

Step 2: Click the arrow button just below the product picture.

Step 3: Select from the sharing options such as through apps, links, SMS, and email.

You can also save an image that already includes a Shopee QR code that can be scanned.

FAQs

What are Shopee product links?

A Shopee product link is a URL that anyone can click on a product page listed on the Shopee platform.

It can simply be the link you copied after clicking the Share button on the live listing page.

Also, it can be a Shopee referral link that can earn you commissions when someone clicks through the link and downloads the Shopee app or purchases an item.

You can earn a commission even if the shopper buys other products on the Shopee platform rather than your listing.

How do I use Shopee for online selling?

If you are a live seller, you can utilize Shopee to earn the trust of your customers.

Add your products to your shop just like any other product listing, though you can indicate that it will be featured in live selling, especially if it is only available in limited quantities.

Click the Live button in the Shopee app or the Shopee Live PC portal.

Before the live selling starts, you can add up to 200 of your products for easy checkout of viewers.

You can also manage livestream reminders even 60 days before your selling livestream so buyers can add it to their calendar.

How do I pay in Shopee Checkout?

To pay in Shopee for your order, you must first ensure that the product is added to your Shopping Cart.

From there, you need to select the items, the platform voucher, and the coins to be redeemed.

On the Checkout page, you can select a payment option: ShopeePay, SPayLater, Cash on Delivery, Payment Center / e-Wallet, Linked Bank Account, and Online Banking.

The options for Payment Center / e-Wallet are 7-eleven CLiQQ or GCash.

BPI Online is the only Linked Bank Account option, but it has a P0 admin fee compared to GCash with 1% of the cash amount.

For Online Banking, you can choose between UnionBank Internet Banking or RCBC AccessOne.

If your bank isn’t included in the list, you should use ShopeePay to cash, which also includes other payment options.

How can I resolve the Shopee problem with checkout?

There are many possible reasons why you are having a problem with checking out your items, such as:

  • Your total order has exceeded the limits of the courier, especially with bulky items
  • The Platform Voucher has fully been used
  • Selected product has no more stocks or other users have checked out before you
  • Your payment method doesn’t match your selected voucher

If you encounter other problems with check out, ask for assistance from the seller through the Chat function or Live Chat with customer support.

Conclusion

Shopee makes it very easy for sellers to market and ship their products to customers.

Buyers also have a reliable payment option and choice in the courier to handle their package.

Use Shopee instead of manual payment and delivery transactions to get protected from scams.
