How Shopee Singapore fees work
Local Shopee SG sellers pay a GST-inclusive category commission and a GST-inclusive transaction fee on every successful order. Sellers in the Promo Xtra Programme (PXP) get preferential commission rates and pay a separate PXP service fee.
1. Commission fee
GST-inclusive percentage of the product price after seller-sponsored promotions. Mall and non-Mall (Marketplace) have different rates; PXP sellers use the preferential column. Selected electronics and fashion categories have per-item caps (e.g. S$60 non-Mall / S$120 Mall for many electronics). From 28 August 2026, selected food, home-care, books and musical-instrument categories received a 1 percentage-point reduction.
2. Transaction fee
3.27% (GST-inclusive) of the final payment amount, including buyer-paid shipping. SPayLater can range from 3.27% to 6.54% depending on the buyer's repayment period — the calculator defaults to 3.27%; edit the rate for longer tenures.
3. PXP service fee
Charged only if you join Promo Xtra. The percentage varies by category (Shopee's FAQ example uses 5.45% of gross settlement). Enter your category rate under fee rates — we do not invent a category table we have not verified.
4. New-seller waiver
Eligible new Mall and non-Mall sellers get 0% commission for the first 120 days of seller activity. PXP service fees have a separate 30-day waiver for new-to-Shopee sellers who join PXP.
Worked examples
Example 1: S$29.90 phone accessory, non-Mall, not in PXP
Using the "Mobile Phones & Tablets" row at 11.99% non-PXP, cost S$10.
| Commission (11.99%) | −S$3.59 |
| Transaction fee (3.27%) | −S$0.98 |
| Total fees | S$4.57 |
| Payout | S$25.33 |
Profit S$15.33 (51.3% margin).
Example 2: same item in PXP with a 5.45% service fee
Preferential commission 8.72% plus a 5.45% PXP service fee (FAQ example rate).
| Commission (8.72%) | −S$2.61 |
| Transaction fee (3.27%) | −S$0.98 |
| PXP service fee (5.45%) | −S$1.63 |
| Total fees | S$5.22 |
| Payout | S$24.68 |
Profit S$14.68. Whether PXP pays off depends on the extra orders the programme brings in.
Example 3: S$500 phone, non-Mall — commission cap
At 11.99% the uncapped commission would be over S$60; the published non-Mall cap is S$60 per item. Calculator commission: S$59.95.

Protecting your margin
- Watch the per-item caps on electronics. High-ticket phones and appliances often hit the S$60 / S$120 caps, which helps margin versus an uncapped percentage.
- Model SPayLater separately if a large share of buyers use longer tenures (up to 6.54%).
- Enter your real PXP service fee from Seller Center before deciding whether the preferential commission is worth it.
