[Final reminder] Important updates to Shopee Open Platform seller accounts

Dear Developers,

Following our announcements of updates to the Shopee Open Platform seller accounts on 18 August 2021, please be reminded to perform the following actions before 19 October 2021:

1. App authorization

Your Seller In-house System APP(s) can only be authorized to access data from your own shops/merchants after signing into Shopee Open Platform. Deauthorizations can also be done in the Open Platform Console.

To verify that you own the shops/merchants currently linked to your APP(s), you must renew any existing authorizations by 18 October 2021. Or else, these authorizations will be automatically removed on October 19, 2021, 12:00 AM, SGT. Reauthorizations will be valid for 365 days.

2. Change account type

If you are registered as a Shopee Seller developer, but are providing services to Shopee sellers as a Third-party Partner Platform, you can apply to change your account type. Go to the ‘Account Information’ page in the Open Platform Console, and select ‘Change to Third-party Partner Platform’.

If the application is approved, your Seller In-house System APP(s) will be converted to ERP System APP(s) (learn more about APP types here). Existing authorizations and corresponding expiration dates will remain unchanged.

If the application is rejected, your account and APP(s) will adhere to the standards outlined in Section 1. Authorizations will be automatically removed if they are not renewed.

You can find more details in our FAQ.
