Shopee’s Largest Event Mobilises 2,000 Affiliates to Help Malaysians Discover the Best 7.7 Deals

Shopee hosted its largest affiliate creator activation to date on 21 June, bringing together over 2,000 affiliates and more than 80 brands for the latest edition of Shopee House — a flagship on-ground platform where affiliates, brands, and the Shopee ecosystem come together to connect, learn, and collaborate ahead of the 7.7 Mid Year Sale. The event empowers affiliates to drive discovery, while helping Malaysians shop Lagi Murah and Lagi Cepat.

Headlining this edition were main sponsors Kiehl’s, La Roche-Posay, Kérastase, and Maybelline, alongside local favourites such as Naelofar, The Pastels Shop, Al ’Ard, BateriHub, ZUS Coffee, and many more. These brands engaged affiliates through live demos, product showcases, and instant content opportunities. The result: richer, more localised content, from beauty tutorials and tech unboxings to real-time Q&As, that helps shoppers discover trusted picks that deliver Lagi Murah value and Lagi Cepat service this 7.7.

This June edition of Shopee House more than doubled the turnout of its February edition, drawing over 2,000 affiliates and marking a bold step in Shopee’s efforts to scale creator-led commerce. The event blended campaign execution with community building through panel sessions, masterclasses, and brand booths. Affiliates also participated in livestream matchmaking, co-hosting real-time sessions with sellers to drive exposure ahead of 7.7.

Headlining the panel discussion “Content with Purpose,” creators Muhamad Zaki bin Saidatul Akmal (Brozaki), Syakirah Al-Edrus (JoyahSiKepoh), and Fatimah Az Zahraa' Binti Jamil (FHStore) shared how authenticity, honesty, and consistency build trust and drive conversion. 

“It’s not about going viral, it’s about being real,” said Brozaki. “People follow you for who you are, and they buy when they trust what you say. With Shopee Live and Shopee Video, I can show real product experiences and that’s what people connect with.”  JoyahSiKepoh added, “Your content doesn’t have to be perfect, just honest. Shopee makes it easy to share what I love using trackable product links, vouchers, and the ‘Shopee Lagi Murah’ tag, so my followers can shop smarter and I can earn too.” For FHStore, consistency is key: “Even simple, everyday content builds momentum when you speak your customer’s language. Shopee’s tools make it easy to upload, tag, and focus on the message.”

In the Shopee Live Masterclass, top livestreamer Norazlina Binti Azmi (Mekallynashop) offered a practical playbook for campaign execution. “You don’t need a big team to succeed, just the right tools and the right rhythm,” she said. “Features like pinned comments, real-time vouchers, and product tagging make it easy to guide viewers from interest to checkout.”

Meanwhile, in the YouTube Masterclass, tech creator Muhammad Najmi Abdul Rahman (TheKampungNerd) shared how long-form content can be built from livestreams, FAQs, and buyer reviews, a sustainable approach for creators with limited resources. “You don’t need fancy production to add value,” he said. “If you listen to your audience and explain things clearly even through a simple tutorial or comparison video, that builds trust.” 

“As we head into the 7.7 Mid Year Sale, Shopee House reflects the next chapter of our investment in content-led commerce.” said Tan Ming Kit, Head of Marketing at Shopee Malaysia. “We’re helping creators grow through programmes like the Content Creator Club, Livestream Ads Incentives, and our new YouTube partnership, which lets affiliates turn videos and YouTube Shorts into fully shoppable content. Powered by our Affiliate Marketing Solution and driven by our commitment for Lagi Murah and Lagi Cepat, these initiatives give creators more ways to earn, connect with brands, and help shoppers find unbeatable value from voices they trust.”

Shopee’s Affiliate Programme now includes over 500,000 creators from all walks of life nationwide, from stay-at-home parents and university students to niche content experts and full-time livestreamers, to help buyers make more informed decisions through real-life reviews, product demos, and relatable recommendations. 

Shopee House is a cornerstone of Shopee’s long-term strategy to build an inclusive, creator-powered digital economy. By combining people, tools, and insights, it transforms content into commerce and relationships into results. As 7.7 approaches, Malaysians can look forward to exclusive deals, real-time demos, and trusted affiliate reviews on Shopee Live and Shopee Video. Whether you're seeking trusted recommendations, local product insights, or unbeatable value, Shopee’s affiliate community is ready to help you shop Lagi Murah and Lagi Cepat this 7.7 Mid Year Sale, which begins on 25 June 2025.

Malaysian Sellers Innovate as as E-Commerce Evolves Beyond Price Wars

Malaysian Sellers Innovate as as E-Commerce Evolves Beyond Price Wars

In Malaysia’s fast-evolving digital marketplace, local sellers are redefining how to grow and connect online by innovating how they sell. Local sellers like Arwaafood, JK Biscuits, and Hollywood MotorSport are making the most of Shopee’s suite of tools: using Shopee Live for authentic storytelling and direct engagement, Shopee Video for product showcases and education, Shopee Affiliates to drive peer-led discovery, and the ‘Lagi Murah’ tag to signal competitive value. By combining these features in ways that fit their brand and goals,  they’re building not just sales, but trust, visibility, and community.

Arwaafood: Building Trust with Storytelling and Mukbang Content

Founded by Hadi Kaderi, Nizar Mustafa, Ardell Aryana, and Nadzmi Adhwa, Arwaafood offers preservative-free instant meals rooted in traditional recipes. Their Shopee Live sessions go beyond promotion, they tell their stories behind their ingredients and values, connecting deeply with health-conscious Malaysians. “A lot of instant food options have unhealthy additives,” says Hadi. “We wanted to change that with natural ingredients that reflect our cultural roots and care.”

This storytelling-first approach has helped Arwaafood grow a loyal community and drive tangible business results. In just three months, their Shopee Live sessions drew over 660,000 viewers, while affiliate-created Shopee Videos, especially “mukbang” content, serve to validate the product’s quality and taste, particularly for new buyers.

This strong community connection shapes how Arwaafood plans promotions, offering value when customers are most ready to engage. “Our customers are smart, they wait for campaign days, voucher drops,” says Hadi. “We realise our customers tend to top up our products during these periods, so we bundle our products to give more value to our customers.” By aligning their promotions with Shopee’s peak campaign moments, Arwaafood maximises visibility and drives conversions when shoppers are most primed to purchase. 

During the recent Shopee 5.5 Fashion & Beauty Festival, this strategy led to a 144% increase in orders, powered by a mix of daily livestreams, strategic bundles, and timed vouchers. Notably, affiliate-driven efforts contributed over 40% of total orders, underscoring the impact of trusted, peer-to-peer recommendations in turning interest into action.

JK Biscuits: From Fruit Stalls to Online Success

Innovation isn’t limited to packaged foods. In Bidor, Perak, Madam Lai Nyuk Ling of JK BISCUITS shows how fresh produce sellers can innovate beyond traditional fruit stalls by embracing e-commerce and digital engagement. What started as a humble fruit business evolved into a thriving online store shipping fresh guavas and dragon fruits all over Malaysia, including Sabah and Sarawak.

For Madam Lai, the challenge was how to bring the tactile, sensory experience of choosing fresh fruits, something buyers usually inspect personally, to the online space. Shopee Live became her key platform to do this. By cutting open fruit live on stream and showcasing her packing process, she gives customers a transparent view into the care and quality behind every order. “They know exactly what they’re getting,” she says. This real-time interaction helps replicate the trust shoppers feel when picking fruit in person, reassuring them about the freshness, juiciness, and quality of her produce.

This hands-on, interactive approach has not only reassured buyers, but also driven tangible business results, with Shopee Live sessions generating up to RM4,000 in daily sales. Madam Lai's success has inspired others in her community to explore e-commerce, showing how traditional fresh produce sellers can harness digital tools to innovate, build trust, and connect meaningfully with modern Malaysian shoppers.

Hollywood MotorSport: Bringing Offline Expertise Online and Expanding Its Reach

Traditional sectors like automotive retail are also finding powerful ways to scale by blending in-store expertise with digital touchpoints. Hollywood MotorSport, a trusted name in motorcycle parts and accessories, is using Shopee to replicate the personalised, hands-on service of their physical store while reaching customers far beyond its usual walk-in base.

Through Shopee Live, they simulate the in-person consultation experience by walking viewers through installation steps, answering questions in real time, and providing visual comparisons to help buyers make informed choices. Shopee Video content breaks down complex features, making even first-time buyers feel confident about their purchase.

“We’ve always taken pride in offering personalised service at our store. Now, we can deliver that same experience to a wider audience online,” says Simon Tan, Company Director of Hollywood MotorSport. “Shopee helps us go beyond walk-in traffic with tools like affiliate marketing, data insights, and real-time engagement. We’re creating new growth without replacing what works.”

This hybrid approach is paying off. Over recent months, Hollywood MotorSport has seen strong momentum through Shopee’s livestream and affiliate tools. Each month, affiliate-driven efforts now account for nearly 1 in 5 of their online orders, and together with livestream sessions, these channels contribute to almost a quarter of total monthly orders. Shopee Video content has seen a tenfold increase in engagement, helping demystify complex purchases like brake kits or suspension parts. These tools not only drive conversions but also strengthen Hollywood MotorSport’s reputation as a trusted, expert-led destination for automotive needs.

Shopee Empowers Smart Selling

At the heart of these success stories is Shopee’s commitment to empowering local sellers with the tools and insights they need to adapt.

“Malaysian sellers are becoming more sophisticated in how they market and connect with buyers,” says Tan Ming Kit, Head of Marketing at Shopee Malaysia. “They’re moving beyond price competition to focus on real value through innovation and genuine engagement. We support them with data and tools to tailor their approach, build lasting connections, and grow steadily, creating a healthier e-commerce ecosystem for everyone.” 

Whether it’s Arwaafood sharing stories behind their natural ingredients, JK Biscuits recreating the fresh fruit experience live, or Hollywood MotorSport bringing their hands-on expertise online with step-by-step guidance, these sellers show value goes beyond numbers. It’s about innovative approaches that create meaningful connections, one thoughtful transaction at a time. 

The Shift to Social: Why More Malaysian Brands Are Turning to Shopee Affiliates to Drive Sales

As digital shoppers spend more time on content-rich platforms, brands are finding new ways to engage them where they already scroll, watch, and connect. Increasingly, what captures attention is not just ads, but relatable storytelling from creators whom audiences already trust. For Malaysian brands like Signature Market, Naelofar, Oxwhite, and Nanovet, this marks a clear shift from polished marketing to partnerships with everyday voices that feel real, credible, and personal.

This shift is not just anecdotal. Across Shopee, affiliate-led content has become a major driver of conversion. With tools like Shopee’s Affiliate Marketing Solution (AMS), Shopee Live, and Shopee Video, brands are transforming affiliate partnerships into scalable sales channels, fuelled by trust and powered by authentic content.

Signature Market: Letting Affiliates Take the Lead

For Signature Market, the evolution of online shopping behaviour has been impossible to ignore. The brand, which began with healthy snacks and now spans lifestyle products, aromatherapy, and ready-to-eat meals, once thrived on search-driven discovery. “In the early days, buyers searched directly for what they knew—chia seeds, overnight oats, our brand name. But now, with so many choices, they no longer want to sift through each product. They want someone they trust to tell them what’s worth buying,” said Adrian Choong Ho Ee, Senior Marketing Manager at Signature Market.

Recognising this shift, Signature Market leaned into Shopee’s affiliate ecosystem, leveraging content-led channels like Shopee Live and Shopee Video, where affiliates could share real stories and product experiences to prospective buyers. Instead of prescribing which products affiliates should promote, the brand flipped the script by letting them choose what best fits their content. A pet content creator might promote Signature Market’s premium pet snacks, a wellness coach could feature their overnight oats in recipes, and a skincare reviewer might highlight their personal care range. 

“Affiliates know their audience best, and when affiliates share how our products fit into their real lives, it builds credibility in a way traditional ads simply can’t,” Adrian added. This affiliate-led model has helped Signature Market tap into new verticals without diluting its health-focused brand. Even better, the performance-based structure of AMS means the brand only pays when a sale is made. “It’s not just a low-risk model, it’s a smart one,” Adrian noted. “You only invest in what works. And when affiliates speak from personal experience, that content performs better than any ad.” Over the past three months, affiliate-driven sales have grown by 30%, reflecting stronger engagement and increased purchase confidence in Signature Market.

Naelofar: When Influence Meets Intentional Growth

Founded in 2014 by Malaysian celebrity and entrepreneur Neelofa, Naelofar has always understood that influence isn’t just about reach, it’s about trust, intention, and community. Built on a mission to provide stylish hijabs, apparel, bags, and accessories at accessible prices without compromising on quality, Naelofar continues to grow a vibrant modest fashion community. Its growth is a testament to the belief that meaningful impact doesn’t just come from visibility, but from voices that resonate. 

Drawing from a career built on authentic audience connection, Neelofa brings a creator’s intuition to how the brand approaches affiliate marketing.This led Naelofar to actively embrace AMS. “AMS has been an incredibly valuable tool for us,” shared Nadia Norzuhdy, Head of Marketing at Naelofar. “It offers a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to set storewide commission rates. This allows affiliates to actively promote our SKUs without requiring heavy investment in social media marketing on our end.”

But Naelofar’s strategy goes beyond setup. The team curates high-quality visuals, runs evergreen campaigns, and sets commission rates above the standard to attract affiliates who truly reflect the brand. From styling reels to hijab tutorials, affiliates are encouraged to express the brand’s voice in ways that are personal and relevant to their own audiences.

The results speak for themselves. In the first half of 2025, a significant portion of Naelofar’s revenue on Shopee was driven by affiliate content, delivering an impressive 21x return on investment through AMS. 

Oxwhite: Turning Loyal Customers Into Growth Engines

Oxwhite, known for its minimalist fashion and lifestyle basics, has always recognised the value of affiliate marketing particularly in how authentic, real-life testimonials help build trust with new customers. That belief was reinforced when a slow-moving item suddenly sold out overnight after being featured by an affiliate during a livestream. “It wasn’t even a major campaign,” said CK Chang, CEO of Oxwhite. “That’s when we saw just how powerfully affiliate content can convert especially when it comes from someone who genuinely uses and believes in our products.”

That moment marked a turning point. Oxwhite began shifting its strategy toward affiliates, especially those who were already customers. “Many of our affiliates have been with us since day one. They already wear our products. They’re not promoting; they’re sharing something they believe in.” With tools like Shopee Live, Shopee Video, and affiliate links, these genuine fans were able to share their experiences in ways that felt natural and compelling. This approach didn’t just drive immediate results. It created content, from product walkthroughs, styling tips, and everyday reviews,  that stayed relevant and continued to convert sales over time. 

To deepen this success, Oxwhite actively supports its affiliates by providing product samples for livestreams and leveraging AMS for key campaign periods. With Shopee AMS enabling real-time collaboration and recognition, the brand is fostering not just sales but a connected affiliate community. “We’re not just running campaigns—we’re building a community.”

This authentic relationship between brand and affiliate has proven powerful. In the past 3 months, Oxwhite’s affiliate campaigns have driven consistent improvements in product sell-through, even for previously underperforming products, with affiliate-driven sales now contributing nearly a quarter of total revenue. “Affiliate marketing gives us one of the best returns across all our channels,” CK shared. “And because it's content-led, it keeps working even after our campaign ends.”

Nanovet: Winning Pet Parents with Real Stories

Nanovet, a Malaysian brand specialising in pet health supplements and essential care products, knew from the start that trust would be their biggest challenge. For many pet owners, especially first-timer buyers, trying a new product that affects their pet’s wellbeing isn’t a decision taken lightly. “Pet parents are cautious about introducing new products to their pets,” said Simon Gan, Founder of Nanovet. “They want to hear from someone who’s used it successfully with their own pet. That’s what builds confidence.”

Through Shopee’s AMS, Nanovet found a way to scale word-of-mouth digitally. Partnering with pet influencers, they used Shopee Video and Shopee Live to share testimonials, explain benefits, and guide customers through important details like dosage, ingredients, and expected results. One affiliate’s personal story about using Nanovet’s salmon oil supplement led to a 40% spike in weekly sales, prompting the brand to double down on affiliate partnerships. “These aren’t just one-time boosts. They’re high-trust introductions that bring in long-term customers.”

Nanovet is now scaling its affiliate programme with structured bundles, educational content for affiliates, and deeper integration into Shopee Live. With AMS’s real-time dashboard, the brand can track performance and optimise every campaign, ensuring that each collaboration is both impactful and measurable.

Shopee’s Role in Fostering Affiliate and Brand Partnerships

Behind these brand successes is Shopee’s growing ecosystem for content-led commerce. Tools like the AMS, Shopee Live, and Shopee Video let brands scale affiliate partnerships through performance insights, flexible commissions, and content-native formats that drive conversion.

More than just a platform, Shopee is actively nurturing this ecosystem through initiatives like Shopee House—its flagship affiliate event happening this Saturday, 21 June, ahead of the 7.7 Mid Year Sale. Participating brands like Signature Market, Naelofar, Oxwhite, and Nanovet will join over 80 others to connect with more than 2,000 affiliates through live panels, content masterclasses, and brand matchups designed to turn trust into sales.

For these brands, investing in affiliate partnership readiness is already paying off. Affiliates now deliver not just reach, they drive relevance through honest reviews, live demos, and localised storytelling that build long-term loyalty. “This is more than just promotion,” said Tan Ming Kit, Head of Marketing at Shopee Malaysia. “It’s relationship-driven commerce, where affiliates help brands grow through authenticity and meaningful engagement. And we’re proud to support that journey from end to end.”

Smart Spending Redefined: Malaysian Shoppers Now Balance Price with Quality

 

Malaysians are still watching their wallets - but they’re also watching livestreams and product videos before making a purchase. According to Shopee’s latest consumer survey*, while 42% of respondents still value discounts and low prices, a greater number - 58% - now prioritise product quality and seller credibility when deciding if something is truly worth it.

This emerging trend of smart spending signals a new chapter in e-commerce: shoppers remain price-conscious, but they’re no longer buying blindly based on discounts alone. Instead, they are leveraging Shopee’s trust-building tools such as Shopee Live and Shopee Video, affiliate content, and trusted reviews to find the right balance between affordability and quality. Smart shoppers are more intentional, using digital tools to stretch every ringgit and ensuring valuable purchase decisions.

Validating Product Quality Through Social Proof

While price remains a key motivator, today’s shoppers aren’t just chasing discounts - they investigate product quality from readily available tools before buying. 

Around 60% of Malaysians use built-in features like daily vouchers, cashback offers, Shopee Coins, and the ‘Lagi Murah’ tag to find the best deals. In fact, 79% of respondents reported stacking vouchers to maximise their savings, while 40% actively searched for the ‘Lagi Murah’ tag to ensure they’re getting the lowest possible price. But here’s what’s new: shoppers are complementing these tools with deeper research and validation features, especially Shopee Live and Shopee Video.

Nearly 83% of users now use Shopee Live to help them decide what to buy. These livestreams provide more than just entertainment - with real-time demos, authentic seller interactions, and exclusive deals - they create a sense of trust that static product listings can’t replicate. It’s not just about what is cheapest, but why it’s worth buying.

Short-form content, like Shopee Video, serve as quick, credible reviews that further build buyer confidence. Around 70% of respondents trust creator recommendations, especially when backed by strong seller ratings and verified user reviews. And when trying out new products or new sellers, nearly half of all respondents consider seller ratings and buyer reviews as their most important reference point. This shows a growing demand for social proof and transparency where product value includes social validation. 

Redefining “Worth It”: Quality + Affordability = Smart Spending

This emerging trend marks a lasting evolution in Malaysian online shopping habits. Today’s consumers aren’t just clicking on the cheapest item - they’re evaluating, comparing, and looking for proof of product quality. That means offering compelling deals and investing in real-time engagement, informative content, and trust-building experiences.

In response to the rise of smart shoppers, Shopee is actively expanding its affiliate ecosystem from driving more short-form content through Video Missions, nurturing high-quality creators via the Content Creator Club, and facilitating targeted affiliate matchmaking for sellers and brands. These efforts are beginning to show meaningful impact: in the recent Raya Bersama Shopee and 5.5 Fashion & Beauty Festival, affiliates contributed 1 in 3 orders, underscoring their powerful role in driving conversion through trusted, relatable content. This ongoing development reflects Shopee’s commitment to equipping shoppers with richer, trusted content that supports smarter purchase decisions, ultimately helping sellers grow and contributing to long-term digital economic progress.

This commitment is already delivering tangible results for local sellers like Mohd Naimran Nordin, founder of Adnaa, a brand known for elegant and affordable traditional wear. During the Raya Bersama Shopee campaign, Adnaa’s sales grew by 170% through the use of Shopee’s content-driven tools like Shopee Live and Shopee Video which Naimran shared, “brought our designs to life, helping customers see the quality and fit in real-time.” During the campaign Adnaa saw orders grow across all features from Shopee Live (116%), Shopee Video (281%), and most impressively affiliate content (227%). 

Adnaa’s success reflects why Shopee is doubling down on content and community. “Today’s shoppers are more informed than ever,” says Tan Ming Kit, Head of Marketing at Shopee Malaysia. “They’re not just looking for the lowest price - they’re looking for confidence and meaningful value. That’s why we’ve invested in tools like Shopee Live, Shopee Video, and driving affiliate content. We want to empower Malaysians to shop smarter and give sellers more ways to drive conversions through building credibility and connecting meaningfully.”

This shift in smart shopping marks a lasting change. For brands and sellers, value is no longer just about price. It’s about layering affordability with trust.

Style Meets Smart: How These Creators Stay On-Trend Without Breaking the Bank

 

In a world where trends evolve with every scroll, staying stylish and on-budget takes more than just good taste. For many fashion-forward Malaysians, keeping up with trends means shopping with intention and finding the best deals without compromising on looks.

Whether it’s snapping an outfit idea to track down lookalikes, browsing creator-led style edits for inspiration, tuning into livestreams for a closer look, or timing checkout for the best stack of vouchers, savvy shopping habits have become second nature for many Malaysians. For creators like Sharifah Rose, Yaya, Asyraf Rozami, Hanisha Jaafar, and Syamimi, every step from discovery to checkout is a chance to shop with both style and strategy.

Inspiration Hits: From Camera Rolls to Curated Feeds

It often starts with a vibe. A screenshot. A street style post. A saved look on social media. 

For Sharifah Rose, inspiration lives in her camera roll. “If I see something I love, I snap it or save it, and the best part is, there’s this feature on Shopee where I can just tap the camera icon, upload the photo, and it shows me a whole list of perfect matches. No more guessing keywords or scrolling endlessly.” Thanks to this visual search, what starts as a spark of inspiration turns into a plethora of choices, tailored to her taste. It’s part moodboard, part treasure hunt. From there, she uses size and colour filters to fine-tune her search, and before she knows it, her wishlist is filling itself.

For Syamimi, inspiration often comes from scrolling through curated style edits — especially those featuring her favourite influencers. “It’s like browsing your friends’ top recommendations, all in one place,” she says. “Shopee pulls together what influencers are wearing and loving, so it feels real and personal”. When she’s stuck for ideas or in between trends, it’s her shortcut to fresh styling inspo. “Sometimes I just want to know what people with good taste are wearing. I go there, see what’s trending, and suddenly I have a whole look in my cart.”

Building the Look: Try Before You Buy (Sort Of)

For creators like Syamimi and Asyraf Rozami, shopping is a multisensory experience, and they’re not doing it blindly.

“Livestreams are my version of window shopping,” says Syamimi. “On Shopee Live, you see the fabric move, how it fits on a real person. You can ask questions in real time, and sometimes, the seller even styles it live. It’s part fashion show, part styling session and often comes with live-exclusive vouchers that reward you for tuning in at just the right moment.”

Asyraf agrees. “Especially with menswear, I want to see how a blazer sits on the shoulders or whether the material has the right structure. Livestreams and videos give me that insight before I commit.” His personal rule? “Don’t buy until you’ve seen how it wears, and if you’re shopping on Shopee, always stack vouchers and keep an eye out for the Lagi Murah tag. It gives me peace of mind knowing I’m getting the best deal possible.”

Beyond livestreams, Syamimi also keeps an eye on Shopee Video, where fellow creators and affiliates casually review or style items they love. “It’s not just helpful, it’s fun. And when there are video-exclusive vouchers, it feels like a shortcut to looking put together and saving money.”

She also follows Shopee affiliates on social media, where they often share “Outfit of the Day (OOTD)” or “Get Ready With Shopee (GRWS)” videos and honest fashion reviews, highlighting their favourite finds with direct links. “It’s so easy — you see what they love, click the link, and poof, the item’s yours. No hunting, no guesswork.”

The Checkout Strategy: Mastering the Art of Affordable But Stylish Spending

When it comes to checkout, timing and tactics make all the difference for these creators. Yaya is a true strategist, always on the lookout for the best ways to stack discounts and save. “I keep an eye out for exclusive fashion vouchers, especially during big campaigns,” she says. “I’ll see if I can stack store vouchers, platform codes, cashback, and free shipping, and if I’m just short of the minimum spend to unlock a voucher, I’ll add something small like socks or a belt to meet the requirement.” It’s part of her styling process: Look cute. Save smart.

Asyraf takes a more laid-back approach, but with the same intent. “I keep my wishlist in the cart. I’ll check back during the week and see if prices drop or if a  deal appears. Sometimes, Shopee also suggests items based on what I’ve browsed, which makes the whole process feel intuitive.”

Even Hanisha, who shops more spontaneously, notices the nudges. “I’ll be scrolling, and suddenly the item I liked before pops up with a great deal, it’s almost like the app knows what I want,” she laughs. “Sometimes I’ll find items with ‘Lagi Murah’ tag, it makes the decision easier as it tells me straight up this is the best deal I’m going to get.”

The Joy After Checkout: From Deals to Confidence

Smart shopping doesn’t stop at checkout — it’s also about peace of mind after the buy. Sharifah lights up recalling a Shopee Live-exclusive deal where she got a dress for half the price she expected. What made it better? Knowing she could return it stress-free if it didn’t fit. The same confidence powers Syamimi’s latest Shopee haul turns into her next GRWS (Get Ready With Shopee) video, with full confidence that she can return or exchange anything that doesn’t live up to her expectations.

Yaya finds five ways to remix a RM30 blazer across café hopping, shoots, and content, all while shopping smart and worry-free. Hanisha turns a last-minute brunch outfit into a full-day slay, all under RM100, backed by the comfort of knowing she’s protected if the item doesn’t fit right.

In a world where shopping smart is just as powerful as dressing well, these creators remind us that affordability doesn’t mean compromise. It means control, access, creativity — and the confidence of knowing you’re covered, even after checkout.

More Than a Deal: A New Kind of Fashion Mindset

There’s no template here. No one-size-fits-all. Just personal rituals that feel empowering because finding something you love, at a price that makes sense, is the new kind of reward.

Whether it starts with a camera search or a curated scroll, whether they wait for voucher drops or catch livestream-only steals, these creators show that the real flex isn’t how much you spend — it’s how good you feel knowing you made it work your way. After all, fashion isn’t just about what you wear. It’s how you get there.
