II. Steps to create a Shopee seller channel

Step 1: Access the Shopee Seller Channel page and select Register. 

Step 2: Enter your phone number and press Next. 

Step 3: Drag the puzzle piece to the right to complete the verification. 

Step 4: Enter the OTP received via SMS/Zalo/call and press Confirm. 

Step 5: Set a password of at least 8 characters, including numbers, special characters, uppercase letters, and lowercase letters; avoid using personal information.

III. Guide to listing products on Shopee

Use Seller Center on your computer to easily manage and post products in bulk.

Step 1: Open Seller Center → Add products:

• Log in to your Shopee account on Seller Center.
• Go to Product Management → Add new product.

Step 2: Fill in basic information:

• Product name: follow the formula Brand + Product name + Specifications/Code (eg: “Brand 100% Cotton T-shirt – Model A1”).
• Category & industry: choose exactly so Shopee can classify correctly.
• Short & long description: summarize the benefits in the short part, the detailed part lists the specifications, instructions for use, warranty, gifts, etc. (refer to the technical description below).
• Images & videos: upload high-quality images (see details below). The image file name contains the product keyword.

Image/video notes:

• Quantity: upload at least 7 photos (maximum 9 photos) to show multiple angles/product details.
• Image ratio: cover photo should be 1:1; detail photos should be 3:4 to increase visual appeal.
• Video: add a 15–30 second video introducing the product.
• Image checklist: product takes up 40–70% of the frame, clear photo, good lighting, no excessive borders/decorative frames.

Step 3: Complete product description:

• The description section is where you “persuade” customers to buy, so you should include technical specifications, outstanding features, benefits of use, instructions for use, and warranty conditions.
• Use bullets to make it easy for customers to scan information; insert illustrations/detailed photos in the description if necessary.
• Naturally insert relevant keywords (but avoid stuffing). Emphasize commitments (warranty, return, gift) to increase trust.

Step 4: Fill in details & attributes:

• Fill in all required attributes (brand, material, size, color, etc.). Fields marked with an asterisk are usually required. This greatly affects the visibility in search filters.
• Choose the right product type in Shopee's category tree for easy searching by customers.

Step 5: Update sales information (price, stock, variation)

• Variations: create up to 2 classification groups (eg color + size). Each classification should have its own SKU and accurate inventory quantity.
• Price & inventory: set competitive prices, update real inventory to avoid overselling.
• Set up "Buy more, get discount" if you want to encourage bulk purchases.

Step 6: Shipping settings:

• Fill in weight & packaging dimensions (recommended: fill in accurately so that shipping costs are calculated correctly). You can enable weight & size settings for each category if the heavy/light variants are different.
• Enable at least 1 shipping unit for Shopee to automatically calculate shipping costs. If desired, link multiple shipping units to optimize customer choices.

Step 7: Additional settings (optional):

• Pre-order: enable if the product needs preparation time.
• Product status: new/used.
• Schedule posting: if you want to launch during prime time.
• SKU: not required but very useful for inventory management.

Step 8: Check & Save:

• Check everything: name, price, description, image, classification, weight/size, shipping, return policy.
• When sure everything is correct, click Save & Show to make the product appear.

IV. Optimize Shopee store

To create a Shopee store that attracts and retains customers, you need to focus on optimizing everything from images, content to shopping experience.. Use product names containing relevant keywords, detailed and clear descriptions of features and uses. In addition, images should be taken bright, clear and consistent in style to create professionalism. 

In addition, you can take advantage of Shopee's free tools such as Shopee Ads or Shopee Live to promote products. Regularly updating new products, quickly replying to customer messages and applying reasonable promotions also help improve reputation and increase the rate of closing orders.
