Want more visibility on Shopee without revamping your entire store? The Hot Listing feature is one way to get your best-performing products in front of more buyers, especially those actively comparing similar items.

Here’s everything you need to know about how it works, why it matters, and how to qualify.
 

What Is Shopee’s Hot Listing?

Shopee’s Hot Listing feature groups similar products from different sellers into one shared product page. Instead of having 10 separate pages for the same item, buyers will now see all those listings side-by-side on a single Product Detail Page (PDP).

This helps buyers:

• Quickly compare offers

• See who’s offering the best price, shipping time, or rating

• Avoid flipping through multiple listings for the exact same item

On these Hot Listing pages, there’s also a Seller Drawer, a section that displays:

• All sellers offering the same product

• Each seller’s price

• Estimated delivery time

• Other key info buyers need to make a decision

It’s basically Shopee’s way of organising listings better and giving buyers a smarter, easier shopping experience.
 

Why Hot Listing Matters for Shopee Sellers

Shopee’s Hot Listing isn’t just good for buyers, it also helps sellers like you grow your store. Here’s how:

1. More Exposure for Your Listings

Shopee actively promotes Hot Listing pages using its own traffic strategies. That means more visibility for your products in search results, even without extra ad spend.

2. Better Conversion Rates

Since buyers can compare similar offers in one place, they’re more likely to decide faster and possibly choose your listing if your price, shipping, or rating stands out.

3. Fair Chances for All Sellers

Everyone featured in a Hot Listing gets a fair shot at being noticed. The order in which sellers appear depends on factors like:

• Your price competitiveness

• Stock availability

• Your store location and estimated delivery time

• What the buyer prefers based on their shopping history

So the listing order can actually vary from one buyer to another, giving sellers of all sizes a chance to shine.

How to Qualify for Shopee’s Hot Listing

Want your product to appear on a Hot Listing page and enjoy boosted traffic? Here’s what you need to qualify, it’s based on both your store and your product performance.

To be eligible, make sure:

• You have fewer than 3 penalty points

• Your store status is normal (not under restriction)

• Your store and product rating is 4.0 or above

• You’ve completed at least 1 order in the last 30 days

Your product also needs to meet these conditions:

• Product is active and listed normally

• Has stock available (stock > 0)

• Product rating is 4.0 or higher

• Has at least 1 completed order in the past 90 days

Once you qualify, Shopee may automatically include your product in a Hot Listing group and give it a visibility boost!
 

How to Increase Your Chances of Being in a Hot Listing

Meeting the basic requirements is just the start. If you really want your product to be featured in Shopee’s Hot Listing, here are a few smart ways to stand out:

1. Be Price Competitive

• Join the Cheapest on Shopee programme to boost your price ranking.

• Win bids for being the lowest price among similar listings.

• Offer great prices on items that are already part of Hot Listings.

2. Boost Your Listing’s Performance

• Run Shopee Ads to bring in more clicks and sales.

• Use clear, high-quality product images, show both the look and how it works.

• Write detailed, accurate product descriptions and specs to help buyers decide quickly.

3. Create a Smooth Buyer Experience

• Ship orders quickly and reliably.

• Respond to buyer chats fast and politely.

• Keep your ratings high by avoiding disputes, delays, or cancellations.

These extra efforts can increase your chances of being selected and staying visible in Hot Listings that Shopee actively promotes.

More Visibility, More Orders, But Only If You’re Prepared

Shopee’s Hot Listing feature can give your products a serious edge. More exposure, more chances to convert, and fair visibility even if you’re a smaller seller. But the sellers who benefit most are the ones who consistently maintain fast fulfillment, competitive pricing, and product quality across the board.

Managing all that manually? That’s where most sellers get stuck.
