Commission adjust

Shopee
Protects seller margin when Shopee commission rates rise by trimming discounts or raising prices on affected items.

Commission adjust shields your margin when platform commission increases. When Shopee raises its commission rate, the engine calculates how much margin you'd lose and recommends either trimming the discount or raising the price on each affected SKU to restore margin.

How it works

The engine detects an upcoming commission rate increase and:

  1. Identifies impacted items — SKUs where the higher commission would noticeably reduce profit.
  2. Picks a lever per item — for each SKU, determines whether to:
    • Discount trim — reduce the active discount to recover margin without changing the base price.
    • Price raise — increase the base price (if discount trimming alone can't recover enough margin).
  3. Shows per-variant changes — you see the current price, current discount, and recommended adjustment for each affected variant.
  4. Deploy — applies the changes. Rollback captures the pre-deploy price/discount and can restore them.

When it fires

Commission adjust appears when:

  • Shopee announces a commission change for your shop.
  • The engine calculates that your current prices/discounts would leave you under-protected.
  • You have variants on the affected product(s).

Why this matters

Rising commissions are automatic. Without adjustment, your profit per sale shrinks silently. This Action surfaces the threat and the fix — so you can decide whether to absorb the loss or adjust pricing.

Discount-trim changes are internal; buyers see no price change. Price raises are buyer-visible and may affect conversion — the engine flags this with a warning.
