Shopee SMS Verification

Verify a Shopee account in the right country and keep your number private.

Shopee is an online marketplace that runs in several separate regional markets, mainly in Southeast Asia and parts of other regions. Each market has its own app version and rules. To create an account, you enter a phone number and Shopee sends a code.

SMS Activate rents you a number for that code. The number and the code appear on your dashboard. Your wallet is charged when the number is issued, and an order with no SMS in 20 minutes is refunded to your wallet.

Pick the right market first

Shopee accounts belong to one market. An account made in one country is not the same as an account in another, and the app may expect a number from that country. If you open the Indonesian app, for example, it will likely want an Indonesian number.

Before you buy a number, check which market you are using. Then pick a number from the same country. This avoids most refusals.

What the number is for

After sign-up, Shopee uses the number for order updates, delivery notices, and checks on risky logins. Couriers in some markets call the number on delivery.

If you will receive real parcels, use a number that can take calls. A rented number is better for browsing and testing than for a real order.

Possible problems

Shopee can refuse numbers it has seen often. If the app says the number is not valid, cancel after the first two minutes and try another number from the same country.

We cannot promise acceptance. Shopee decides, and its rules vary between markets.

Price and refunds

Prices vary by country and stock, usually between a few cents and a dollar. Codes normally arrive within a minute.

If no SMS arrives inside 20 minutes, the order is refunded to your wallet. See your dashboard for the rules for your order.
