How Much Are Shopee Coins Worth in 2026 and How Do I Use Them?

By Jean Goh, Travel Destinations Editor, ShopBack. Published 8 October 2026.

In Singapore in 2026, 100 Shopee Coins are worth S$1 off a purchase in the Shopee app, according to Shopee's Help Centre, so each Coin is worth 1 cent. To use them, switch on Redeem Shopee Coins at checkout. There is no minimum balance, Coins cannot be cashed out, and they expire at the end of the third month after you earn them, so spend them before they lapse.

ShopBack Singapore is a free app and website that pays you cash back after you shop at partner stores, including Shopee, Lazada, Taobao and TikTok Shop. You open ShopBack, tap the store, then check out as usual, and the cash comes back to your ShopBack account to withdraw. Join ShopBack Singapore for free before your next Shopee order.

How much are Shopee Coins worth?

Shopee Coins have a fixed value: 100 Coins equal S$1 off your order, per Shopee Singapore's Help Centre. Shopee describes Coins as its official reward points system. Here is what common balances are worth at that rate:

Shopee Coins	Value off your order
100	S$1
400	S$4
1,000	S$10
6,000	S$60

Three rules from Shopee shape how useful that value is:

• Coins cannot be exchanged for cash. They only lower what you pay inside Shopee.
• There are limits on how many Coins you can earn and use, which Shopee shows in the app.
• Coins expire at the end of the third month from when you earned them, counting the earning month as month one. Shopee's own example: Coins earned any time in January expire on 31 March.

So the honest answer to "what is a Shopee Coin worth" is 1 cent, but only if you spend it on Shopee before it expires.

How do I use Shopee Coins?

Switch on the Redeem Shopee Coins toggle before you check out in the Shopee app. Shopee says you do not need a minimum balance first, so even 50 Coins take 50 cents off. According to Shopee's Help Centre, you can use Coins for:

1. Orders on Shopee, at checkout.
2. Payments to ShopeePay merchants.
3. Digital products, such as ShopeePay vouchers and My Deals vouchers.
4. Shopee Prizes game items, following each game's instructions.

A practical habit: check your Coins balance and expiry on the first day of each month. Coins earned in October 2026, for example, expire on 31 December 2026, so a December order is the last chance to use them.

How do I earn Shopee Coins?

Shopee says you earn Coins from orders, daily check-ins, games, reviews, ShopeePay payments and livestreams. The full list from Shopee's Help Centre:

• Orders with Coins cashback vouchers. Coins are based on the final amount of eligible items after Coins redeemed and other discounts; shipping fees are not counted.
• Daily check-in on the Coins Rewards page, with more Coins for consecutive days.
• Shopee Prizes games.
• Product ratings. Up to 7 Coins for a rating of at least 50 characters with 3 images and 1 video, and up to 14 Coins for a video that follows Shopee's template. Products under S$0.50 are not eligible, and the same product earns review Coins at most twice every 30 days.
• ShopeePay merchants that offer Coins on payments.
• Shopee Live sessions with Coins giveaways.

Shopee credits Coins once the order or transaction is completed. You can see how many Coins an order will earn from the order page under Me, To Ship or To Receive.

ShopeeVIP and Shopee Coins: is it worth paying for?

ShopeeVIP costs S$3.99 a month and includes 400 Shopee Coins a month, which are worth S$4 at Shopee's rate. That is the core maths behind the plan, according to Shopee's Help Centre at the time of writing:

ShopeeVIP plan	Price charged	Price per month
1 month	S$3.99	S$3.99
6 months	S$20.94	S$3.49
12 months	S$29.88	S$2.49

Shopee lists these ShopeeVIP benefits: Coins back on orders with no minimum spend, capped at 1,000 Coins (S$10) per order and 6,000 Coins (S$60) per month; 400 Shopee Coins each month; a monthly S$1 F&B deal; free doorstep delivery with no minimum spend on items Fulfilled by Shopee; a weekly ShopeeVIP Friday campaign; campaign early access; partner deals; and priority customer service. Plans renew automatically unless you cancel.

Who it usually suits: people who order on Shopee several times a month and will actually spend the Coins before they expire. If you order once a month or less, the Coins you get may expire before you use them, so the plan is worth less than the headline numbers.

Shopee official deals and the cheapest way to save on Shopee

The cheapest way to buy on Shopee in Singapore usually combines Shopee's own vouchers and Coins with going through ShopBack before you pay. Shopee's official savings tools are:

• Vouchers. Claim them into My Vouchers from the voucher page, campaign pages and shop pages. Shopee lets you use one platform voucher, one free shipping voucher and one seller voucher per order.
• Shopee Coins. Worth S$1 per 100, used with the Redeem toggle at checkout.
• Double-date sales. 10.10 falls on Saturday 10 October 2026, 11.11 on Wednesday 11 November and 12.12 on Saturday 12 December.
• ShopeeVIP, if you order often enough to use the monthly Coins.

Here is a simple order of steps that works for most orders:

1. Check your Coins expiry and plan to spend the ones that lapse soonest.
2. Claim vouchers that fit your cart.
3. Clear your cart and open ShopBack Singapore, then tap Shopee on ShopBack.
4. Add your items, apply Coins and vouchers you are happy with, and pay in the same visit.
5. Check the order appears in your ShopBack account within a couple of days.

Can I use ShopBack when buying discounted items on Shopee?

Usually, yes: a Shopee sale price is simply the price you pay, and going through ShopBack first lowers the effective price of an eligible order. For merchants like Shopee, just as for Booking.com, Trip.com, Agoda and Expedia, going through ShopBack is an essential step before you check out, so you pay less on the same order. ShopBack works like an automatic cash discount on your online order.

The Shopee page on ShopBack Singapore sets out these points at the time of writing:

• How to start. On a computer, the page asks you to install the ShopBack browser extension for Chrome, Firefox or Edge and click Activate when it pops up. On your phone, clear your Shopee cart, close the Shopee app, open ShopBack and go to Shopee from there, for each purchase.
• Timing. Purchases are usually tracked within 2 days and confirmed within 20 days.
• Vouchers. Purchases made with vouchers or promo codes not featured on ShopBack are listed as an exclusion, so compare the voucher saving with what ShopBack would return and read the terms before you pay.
• Returns. Cancelled, refunded or returned orders are not eligible, and partial returns are adjusted.

Is there a service fee for Shopee cashback?

ShopBack Singapore is free to join and free to use; there is no fee to go through ShopBack before your Shopee order. Any fees on the order itself are set by Shopee and shown in the order summary before you pay. According to the Shopee page on ShopBack, fees, taxes, service charges and shipping and delivery are not counted towards what comes back, so the amount that counts is the eligible price of the items.

Shopee cashback through ShopBack Singapore in 2026

Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles. That is the key difference from Shopee Coins:

	Shopee Coins	ShopBack cash
Value	100 Coins = S$1, per Shopee	Shown in Singapore dollars
Where you can use it	Inside Shopee and ShopeePay	Withdraw to your bank once confirmed
Expiry	End of the third month after earning	Check ShopBack's terms for your account
Cash out	Not allowed, per Shopee	Yes, once confirmed

A worked example with an illustrative rate: on a S$200 Shopee order at an illustrative 2%, S$4 comes back, so the effective price is S$196. On a S$50 order at the same illustrative rate, S$1 comes back. The real rate differs for new and existing Shopee customers, can have a cap per item and changes by campaign, so check the live rate on the Shopee page on ShopBack before you buy.

Using a credit card on Shopee

Your card's own rewards come from your bank, separately from Shopee Coins and ShopBack, so in many cases all three can apply to the same order. If your credit or debit card earns cash rebates or points on online spend, that comes from your bank. Banks usually set their own exclusions, caps and minimum spend, so check the merchant's terms and your card's terms for how Shopee and ShopeePay purchases are counted before you rely on them.

Other marketplaces Singapore shoppers compare with Shopee

Shopee sits alongside Lazada, Taobao, TikTok Shop, Amazon.sg and Zalora in most Singapore shopping baskets. Lazada, Taobao and TikTok Shop have store pages on ShopBack Singapore too, so the same habit works there: open ShopBack, tap the store, then check out. When comparing the same item, compare the final price after vouchers, Coins and shipping.
