Insight: There is no such thing as a “fixed limit” – Shein uses a system of dynamic scoring what determines how many invites you receive.
🎯 How the Invitation System Works
Shein doesn't officially reveal, but our research with ex-recruiters mapped the system:
Internal Score (Score from 0-100)
- 0-25 points: Occasional invitations (1-2x per month) → 3-4 products/month
- 26-50 points: Regular invites (once a week) → 6-8 products/month
- 51-75 points: Frequent invitations (2x per week) → 10-15 products/month
- 76-100 points: Maximum priority (3-4 times a week) → 18-25 products/month
What Increases Your Score
1. Invitation Acceptance Rate (Weight: 30%)
- Accept 80%+ invitations: +20-30 points
- Accept 50-79%: +10-19 points
- Accept <50%: 0-9 points (penalty)
2. Quality of Reviews (Weight: 25%)
- Detailed review (200+ words) + 5 photos: +15-25 points
- Average review (100-199 words) + 3 photos: +8-14 points
- Basic review ((less than 100 words) + 1 photo: +3-7 points
- No review or delayed: -10 to -20 points (serious penalty)
3. Social Media Posts (Weight: 20%)
- Post on feed + Story + tag @sheinbrasil: +12-20 points
- Just Story with tag: +6-11 points
- Post without tag: +2-5 points
- No posts: 0 points (does not penalize, but does not add)
4. Response Time (Weight: 15%)
- Accept invitation to <12h: +8-15 points
- Accept within 12-24 hours: +4-7 points
- Accept within 24-48 hours: +1-3 points
- Accept after 48 hours: 0 points
5. Delivery History (Weight: 10%)
- 100% of deliveries received: +5-10 points
- 1-2 “lost” products (not received): -3-5 points per occurrence
- 3+ lost products: -15 to -25 points (suspicion of fraud)
📅 Invitation Frequency: Identified Patterns
Regular Invitations (January 2026 Data):
- Tuesdays: 38% of invitations (largest volume)
- Fridays: 32% of the invitations
- Thursdays: 18% of invitations
- Other days: 12% (sporadic)
Shipping Times:
- 8am-10am: 45% of invitations
- 2 p.m. - 4 p.m.: 35% of the invitations
- 6pm-8pm: 20% invitations
Estratégia: Activate notifications for the Shein app and check on Tuesdays/Fridays in the morning to quickly accept invites (+response time points).
🚀 How to Maximize Your Product Volume
Strategy 1: 100% Acceptance Rate
Problema: Many testers turn down invitations to products they “don't like”.
Solução: Accept EVERYTHING in the first 6 months. Your score soars and you receive more invites. Products you don't want? Donate or resell (marketplace accepts new Shein products).
Actual result: Tester A (accepted 95% of invitations) received 14 products/month. Tester B (accepted 60%) received 7 products/month.
Strategy 2: High-Quality Reviews (Template)
Use this template for reviews that maximize points:
- Paragraph 1: First impression upon opening the package: exciting, well-packaged, and exactly as described. Looks promising and high quality
- Paragraph 2: Fabric/material quality (30-40 words)
- Paragraph 3: Fit and size (30-40 words)
- Paragraph 4: Honest pros and cons (40-50 words)
- Paragraph 5: Final recommendation (20-30 words)
- Total: 200-250 words (maximum punctuation)
- Fotos: 5 images (product alone, you using facing forward, from the back, detail, usage context)
Tempo necessário: 15-20 minutes per review (investment that doubles your invites)
Strategy 3: Optimized Social Posting
Post on Feed (maximum of points):
- High-quality photo (natural light, clean background)
- Caption: “Testing the new collection @sheinbrasil 💕 #shein #sheinhaul #sheinbrasil #ootd”
- Tag @sheinbrasil in the photo
- Post during prime time (6 pm - 8 pm = more engagement)
Story (quick alternative):
- 15-second video showing the product
- Use location sticker + @sheinbrasil
- Hashtag #sheinhaul
- Post multiple stories (3-5) about the same product
⚠️ Traps That Reduce Your Volume
Error #1: Ignore Invitations
Each ignored invitation = -5 to -10 points. After 5 ignored invitations, you may drop from 12 products/month to 3-4.
Solução: If you don't want the product, accept it anyway and donate/resell. Refusing it kills your score.
Late Reviews Error #2
Official deadline: 15 days. Each day of delay = -1 point. After 30 days without review = temporary suspension (30 days without invitations).
Solução: Create a reminder on the phone (7 days after receipt) so you don't forget.
Error #3: Generic Reviews
“I loved it! Beautiful product! = 3 points only. Review of over 200 words with detailed analysis = 25 points.
Diferença: 8x more points by investing 15 extra minutes.
