Unlike most of Shopee’s promos, this one does not come with a nerve-wracking countdown. Shopee's partnerships with leading banks and digital wallets open up exclusive discounts that you’re likely to be eligible for. Credit and debit cardholders, as well as users of specific payment apps, often enjoy exclusive promotions too.
Linking your payment method can lead to instant discounts, cashback rewards, and even special access to early sales. Simply check out the list of partner banks and wallets to maximize your savings potential, stat.

Shopee's Flash Deals are like fleeting treasures waiting to be claimed–if you’re fast enough. From fashion to electronics, cosmetics to diapers, these time-limited discounts offer jaw-dropping price cuts for a wide variety of products that are too good to miss. Whether you're looking to replace your worn-out earpiece or stock up on home essentials, it’s worth keeping tabs on these flash deals for remarkable savings that you won’t be able to find elsewhere.
Try to check the Flash Deals section on your Shopee app at 6-hour intervals starting from 12 pm, 6 pm, midnight, as well as 6 am (if you’re extremely committed) for a headstart at the best deals before they sell out.
Promotions include:
Are you a Shopee Live newbie? With up to 30% vouchers up for grabs, this is one arena of discounts that shouldn’t be overlooked. Livestream users are often welcomed with exclusive vouchers and discounts that can significantly lower the original price. There are just a couple of hoops to jump through. Be sure to check out which merchant is streaming (8 pm to 11 pm every day) to see if anything piques your interest.
Once you’ve joined the live stream of your choice, add the product from the live stream to your cart directly and apply the “Added From Live” vouchers to the item to successfully enjoy the discount. Voila, that’s extra dollars shaved off your total!
However, it’s worth noting that Shopee Live is only available on mobile devices.
Turn your weekly grocery runs into a budget-friendly endeavour when you check Shopee’s Weekly Super Savers for their curated bundles of everyday essentials. The week this article was written featured lucrative deals of up to 57% off self-care products that would go a long way to supercharge your spending power. True enough, the promo includes a popular body soap in a bundle of 4 for $19.90 (usual price $39.00), perfect to stock up for the entire household when you’re running out of supply.
At the time of the article, UOB card members are eligible for $6 off Shopee Supermarket items with a minimum spend of $80*. Plus, UOB One card members are eligible for up to 15% cashback*.
We get it, staying on trend can be expensive. That’s why buying your monthly wardrobe staples can add up to a pretty penny if we aren’t careful. Luckily, Shopee rolls out weekly promotions specifically for the fashion category that can shave off those extra dollars (and pesky buyer’s remorse). Known as Shopee OOTD, be sure to keep an eye out first thing Monday when it refreshes at the start of every week.
If you're a Shopee regular, you're likely familiar with Shopee Coins and how they could go a long way to offset your spending. They are so ingrained in the Shopee experience that earning them is a total breeze. This includes checking into the Coins Rewards page once a day, playing Shopee’s in-app games or simply leaving a video product review.
These virtual coins are nothing to sneeze at as they can be used to offset your future expenses by a decent amount–especially if you’re able to redeem them for Shopee vouchers. To optimise them would then come down to when instead of how. Our suggestion is to wait until you’ve earned a minimum of 250 coins to enjoy a decent discount. At the time of this article, 250 coins will give you a sizeable $6 off Shopee Mall vouchers. Think of the many brands you can get at a steal!
It’s worth noting that 100 Shopee Coins are worth about $1. While you can use them for any purchase in Shopee there are some caveats to keep in mind:
Shopee loves engaging with its users on social media platforms. Follow Shopee's official Instagram and Facebook accounts to participate in contests, giveaways, and scavenger hunts. Often, these activities come with hidden voucher codes or exclusive discounts that can sweeten your shopping experience.
The only catch is that it’ll come in the form of liking and sharing their posts in order to qualify. But hey, getting up to 89% off on your next skincare spree on Shopee sounds like a good deal to us!
Whether it's Christmas, Chinese New Year, or the infamous double date sales (think of 6.6, 7.7, 8.8 and so on) Shopee’s festival promotions have grown to be as anticipated as the holiday itself. Savvy shoppers flock to the app for site-wide discounts, free shipping, special vouchers, and time-sensitive deals that can supercharge your savings much more than what you would normally earn on a typical day.
Case in point: time your Shopee hauls right to level up your savings potential. According to these Shopee insiders , the best time to shop for big-ticket purchases at a steal is during the second half of the year. More specifically, Black Friday and 12.12.
