Price increase whitelist

Shopee
Shopee has to whitelist a product before its list price can rise, so Price Edit hands you the list to submit and holds those products until you confirm the approval.

Raising a product's list price needs Shopee's approval first. Price Edit splits the Deploy step in two: changes that only trim a discount go live straight away, while every product whose list price rises waits under Needs whitelist until Shopee has whitelisted it. There is no API for this — the request is submitted by hand and approval takes a few days.

How to use it

  1. Open the draft's Deploy step. Needs whitelist lists every product whose list price goes up.
  2. Download the list — an .xlsx carrying each product's SKU, current list price, new list price and new selling price.
  3. Request the increase in Shopee Seller Center, attaching that list. Submit it through the channel your shop already uses to reach Shopee — Seller Center support or your account manager. Shopee expects a letter of intent with the file — see Requesting whitelist approval for what to write, with an example letter.
  4. Wait for Shopee's approval. The draft keeps the list, so you can come back days later, on any machine.
  5. Once approved, tick Shopee has approved these price increases and confirm. Those products move into Ready to deploy.
  6. Deploy them like any other change — scheduled and masked timing work the same.

Why this matters

  • Only a rising list price needs approval. Trimming a discount raises the buyer's price without touching the list price, which is why most changes deploy the same day.
  • Splitting the two means the trims are not held hostage to a multi-day approval.
The tick box is your confirmation, not a check against Shopee. Untick it if you were early — those products go straight back to Needs whitelist.
