Introduction
Shopee is a marketplace e-commerce platform operating across Southeast Asia, Latin America, and other markets. The connector reads a seller’s Shopee shop data — orders or products — through the Shopee Open Platform API (v2), reconstructing sales analytics from raw orders and building a product catalog from raw product data. Each Shopee data source is created in one of two modes, orders or products, and the mode is fixed at creation. A single data source reports on only one mode; to report on both orders and products for the same shop, connect the shop twice — once in each mode. As an e-commerce connector, order, sales, and product data are standardized so widgets can aggregate alongside other sources without additional configuration. To connect this data source, see How to connect Shopee to Adriel.Data refresh strategy
The two modes refresh on different schedules.Orders
Orders refresh hourly. Each refresh pulls a short rolling window (about the last one to two days by order creation date) so that recently created and recently modified orders stay current without a full re-sync. The current day is excluded until it closes. Today’s orders are not pulled into the sync window, so the most recent full day of data is the previous day; the current day fills in once it completes.Products
Products are fully refreshed once per day. Each refresh rebuilds the catalog, so product additions, price changes, and status changes are reflected on the next daily run.Initial import and historical coverage
On first connection, Adriel imports up to 90 days of history for the selected mode. Because Adriel caches the data, the longer the data source stays connected, the more historical data is stored — coverage grows beyond the initial 90-day window over time.Architecture levels
- Orders mode: Shop → Order → Order item. Each order carries its line items (product, quantity, and item price) for product-linked reporting.
- Products mode: Shop → Product → Model (variant). Each product model or variant is stored as a separate product record.
Date range limits
The initial import reaches back approximately 90 days from the connection date. Earlier history is not back-filled retroactively; the cache instead accumulates going forward for as long as the data source stays connected.Metrics
How to read the columnsData type uses this vocabulary: Number, Currency, Percentage, Ratio, Duration, Date, Text, URL, Array, Boolean.API Key in code style like
total_amount is the literal field name delivered by the Shopee API. Italic text describes how a value is produced when it doesn’t map cleanly to a single field — typically an aggregation across rows or a value computed by Adriel.Orders
Currency values are reported in each order’s own currency, taken from the order’s
currency field (for example PHP or BRL). When an order has no currency, the connector falls back to USD. Because a shop’s orders can span currencies and markets, cross-shop totals should account for currency normalization.Order status values. Shopee’s raw statuses are mapped to four canonical values:
opened (READY_TO_SHIP, UNPAID, SHIPPED), closed (PROCESSED), cancelled (CANCELLED), and unknown (any other status).Fields Shopee does not provide for orders. Order price (before charges), discount amount, tax amount, amount due, and order source are not returned by Shopee’s order API, so those metrics and the Order Source breakdown remain empty for this connector.
Product-order (orders mode)
Product-order metrics link products to the orders that contain them. When a product-order metric is used with a product filter, only the portion of each order tied to that product is included, and only orders containing at least one matching product are shown. If a product cannot be retrieved (for example it was deleted), its related orders may not appear — use product-order metrics only when necessary.
Products
Each product model or variant is a separate record. The product name combines the item name and the model (variant) name. Product price and currency populate only when Shopee returns price information for the model.
Product status values. Shopee’s raw statuses are mapped to
active (NORMAL), deleted (SELLER_DELETE, UNLIST), and unknown (any other status). Retail (compare-at) price and a separate detailed product name are not provided by Shopee and remain empty.Breakdowns
Breakdowns whose API Key is a Shopee field come directly from the Shopee API response. Breakdowns marked Adriel-derived are computed on top of the raw order or product data, including time groupings.
Order details (orders mode)
Product details (products mode)
Time & date grouping
Shopee returns records with timestamps; Adriel groups them into these views for reporting. Time groupings are Adriel-side aggregations of the same underlying data.
Limitations
- Orders or products, fixed at creation — a data source reports on one mode only, chosen when it is connected and not changeable afterward. Connect the shop twice to report on both orders and products.
- 90-day initial history — the first import reaches back about 90 days. Coverage grows the longer the data source stays connected, as Adriel caches each refresh.
- Current day excluded for orders — today’s orders are not included until the day closes, so the current day can read low or empty until the next day’s sync.
- Cancellations are separate records — a cancelled order is written as its own record containing only the cancellation, rather than overwriting the original order record. Reporting a single order’s full history needs to include both records.
- Some order fields are not provided — order price (before charges), discount, tax, amount due, and order source are not returned by Shopee’s order API and stay empty.
- Some product fields are not provided — retail (compare-at) price and a separate detailed product name are not returned. Product price and currency populate only when Shopee returns price information for the model.
- Products need model data — products without model (variant) data are not synced.
