To protect sellers, the Shopee system auto-detects invalid clicks, for example, repeated clicks from the same shopper or automated clicks. You will not be charged for such clicks.

What determines my ad's exposure?

As multiple sellers advertise with Shop Ads, your ad competes with other ads to be displayed at the top of search results page. 

Your ad exposure is determined by 2 factors:

1. Cost-per-click bid price refers to the highest price you are willing to pay when a shopper clicks on your ad.

1. The higher your bid price, the more likely your ad will be displayed
2. The actual price charged is often less than your bid price. The Shopee ads auction system calculates the minimum amount required to show your ad 

2. Shop relevance is determined by the quality of your shop and how relevant your shop is to the chosen keyword. The higher your shop relevance, the more likely your ad will be displayed.
