How to Use and Redeem a Shopee Gift Card: A Practical Country-by-Country Guide

A Shopee gift card is redeemed as a voucher code entered at checkout, not as a card you swipe or a balance you load first. According to Shopee's own Philippines Help Centre, you go to the Shopping Cart or Checkout page, select Shopee Voucher, tap the voucher code field, type or paste the gift card code that was sent to you, select Apply, then Check Out or Place Order — and the amount is deducted from your order total automatically. Shopee's Malaysia Help Centre describes the same two-step flow: copy the code from the email, paste it into the voucher field and apply, then complete the checkout. The code arrives by email or via a link shared by the sender, and the redemption instructions specific to your country are included in that email and in the card's terms and conditions. That is the flow to trust; anything below that varies by market is flagged as such.

Step-by-step: redeeming at checkout

1. Install and sign in to the Shopee app for the correct country (Shopee BR, SG, PH, ID, TH or VN). Several gift card terms state that vouchers are valid only in the Shopee mobile application, so the app is the safer route than the desktop site.
2. Add the items you want to your cart. Do this before entering the code, because the discount is calculated against an existing order total.
3. Open the Shopping Cart or proceed to Checkout.
4. Select the Shopee Voucher / voucher or promo code entry field.
5. Paste the gift card code exactly as it appears. Avoid retyping it by hand — most failed redemptions are simple character errors.
6. Tap Apply. The gift card value should appear as a deduction on your order summary.
7. Place the order and pay any remaining balance with your normal payment method.

Alternative: save the code to My Vouchers first

In some markets you can bank the code before you shop. The commonly documented path is: open the Shopee app, go to the Me section, select My Vouchers, choose Enter Promo Code, and tap Apply; the card then sits in your voucher wallet until you select it at checkout. One Singapore gift card listing notes that codes saved to the wallet remain available for around 200 days or until they expire, whichever comes first. This pre-saving step is described by resellers and regional listings rather than a single global Shopee help article, so treat menu names as approximate — app versions differ and labels get renamed.

Where to find the code

• Email. The standard delivery method. The code and the country-specific instructions are in the message body.
• Shared link. Shopee PH confirms a gift card can reach you as a link the sender shares, which then reveals the code.
• Order page at your retailer. If you bought the card yourself from a digital store such as Aussui, the code appears in your order confirmation immediately after payment, since these are instant-delivery digital cards.
• SMS or messaging apps. Some distributors deliver by SMS or WhatsApp instead of email.

Check spam and promotions folders before assuming a card was never delivered.

Regions, currencies and denominations

Shopee runs separate marketplaces per country, and gift cards are issued per market in local currency. A card denominated in one currency is not expected to work on another country's Shopee app, so match the card to the account and marketplace you actually shop on. The regions and currencies covered here are:

• Brazil — BRL
• Singapore — SGD
• Philippines — PHP
• Indonesia — IDR
• Thailand — THB
• Vietnam — VND

Available denominations are 5, 10, 25, 30, 50, 100, 200, 300, 500, 1000, 50000 and 100000. Not every value exists in every currency: the smaller figures suit BRL, SGD, PHP and THB, while the 50000 and 100000 values correspond to currencies with smaller unit values, such as IDR and VND. Confirm the currency shown on the product page before paying, because a mismatched region generally cannot be corrected after the code is issued.

What a gift card does not cover

Gift card terms published for the Singapore market list meaningful exclusions, and similar carve-outs appear in other markets:

• Only one gift card code per transaction.
• Shipping fees are not covered.
• Certain stores and categories are excluded — examples cited include Apple flagship stores, Shopee Supermarket, stage 1 and 2 milk formula, gold and silver bars, and travel, dining and services listings.
• Items may also be excluded because of local regulation or because they are member-exclusive.
• Codes cannot always be combined with other promotions.
• There is a redemption period, no extensions are granted, and unredeemed vouchers are forfeited.

If the order costs more — or less — than the card

Shopee Philippines' own blog states that if your total is higher than the gift card value, you pay the difference — in that market via ShopeePay. If the total is lower, Singapore terms warn that the voucher must be fully used and any unused amount is forfeited rather than carried forward. This is the single most important practical point: plan a cart that is worth at least the face value of the card. Whether leftover value is truly lost may differ by country and by the specific card programme, so check the terms in your delivery email.

If the code fails

1. Re-copy and paste the code rather than typing it; check for stray spaces at either end.
2. Confirm you are in the right country's Shopee app and signed in to an account registered in that country.
3. Try the mobile app if you were on the website — some vouchers are app-only.
4. Check whether your cart contains an excluded store, category or product, and test the code on a plain, non-excluded item.
5. Remove other vouchers or promotions from the cart, then re-apply the gift card on its own.
6. Raise the cart value if it sits below the card's face value; some codes have a minimum spend.
7. Check the expiry or redemption window stated in your email.
8. If it still fails, contact Shopee support in your country with the code and a screenshot of the error. If the card was never delivered or was delivered already used, contact the retailer you bought it from instead — Aussui, for example, can trace the specific code on your order.

What is uncertain

Sources genuinely disagree on two points, and it would be wrong to state either as universal:

• Whether ShopeePay is required. Shopee's PH Help Centre describes a plain voucher-code entry at checkout with no wallet activation. At least one reseller listing for the Philippines instead instructs buyers to activate a ShopeePay wallet and complete checkout with ShopeePay as the payment method. Both flows are documented; the wallet requirement may apply to particular card programmes rather than all of them.
• Exact menu wording and location. "Shopee Voucher", "voucher code", "promo code" and "Shopee gift card" all appear as field names across markets and app versions. Look for a code entry field in the cart, checkout, or Me → My Vouchers screen rather than an exact label.

Brazil, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam were not confirmed against those countries' own Shopee help articles for this guide. The checkout voucher-field pattern is consistent across the Shopee markets that do publish instructions, but treat the local email instructions as authoritative for those four regions.

Buying a card

Because these are digital codes, delivery is immediate and there is nothing to ship. Aussui sells Shopee gift cards across all six regions above with instant delivery, which matters mainly for one reason: choose the region and currency deliberately at purchase, since the code is locked to that marketplace once issued.
