How Long Does the Shopee Affiliate Cookie Last?
What Is the Affiliate Cookie?
A cookie is a small file stored on the buyer's browser or app when they click your affiliate link. It allows Shopee to identify that the person reached the product through your recommendation.
How Long Does the Shopee Cookie Last?
The Shopee affiliate cookie usually lasts 7 days from the click. This period may vary by campaign or product type, but the standard rule is this. Some special campaigns may have a longer or shorter cookie.
How the Cookie Works in Practice
If someone clicks your link on Monday, the cookie is active for 7 days, until Sunday. If they buy any product within that period, the sale is yours. If they buy the following Monday, outside the period, the commission will not be attributed unless they click your link again.
What Can Break the Cookie Early
Clicking another Shopee affiliate link after yours, clearing browsing data, using a different browser, or buying on another device can cause the cookie to be replaced or lost. The last affiliate link clicked usually wins attribution.
How to Take Advantage of the Cookie Period
Create messages that encourage same-day purchase. Flash deals, short-term coupons and low price alerts work well because they create urgency. Reposting the link periodically renews the cookie for those who haven't bought yet.
Automation and Cookie Renewal
Use DivulgaNinja to schedule automatic reposting of Shopee links in WhatsApp and Telegram groups, ensuring your links are always recent and with better attribution chances.
The questions our community asks the most
These are the questions that come up the most in our groups and support channels about this topic. Each one is answered straight to the point.
How long does a Shopee affiliate link last?
The link keeps working; what expires is the attribution window that starts when someone clicks it. Republishing your offers regularly restarts that window for every new click.
What is the best time to post Shopee offers?
Early morning, lunchtime and early evening usually perform best, when people have their phone in hand. Covering those three blocks every day beats posting many times on a single day.
How do I become a Shopee affiliate?
Sign up for Shopee Affiliate using the same account you already shop with, fill in your details and list where you will promote (WhatsApp group, Telegram, Instagram or a channel). Approval usually takes 24 to 48 hours and costs nothing.
How much does a Shopee affiliate earn?
Commission depends on the category, usually between 5% and 14% of the order value, with seasonal campaigns paying more. Because Shopee's average order value is low, the affiliates who earn well are the ones working with volume across several channels.
How much commission does Shopee pay affiliates?
It is a percentage of the order value and varies by category, with higher rates during campaigns. Since the average order value is low, results come from order count: more groups receiving the right offer at the right time means more orders on your link.
How do I contact Shopee Affiliate support?
Support runs inside the Shopee Affiliate dashboard help centre, where you can open a ticket. Have your affiliate ID and the order number ready — with both, the answer usually comes on the first reply.
