If you’re selling on Lazada, you’ve probably heard about Lazada Sponsored Solutions. But what exactly are they? How do they work? And more importantly, which one should you start with first?

In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know about Lazada Sponsored Solutions, explain the different types of tools available, and give you practical tips on how to pick the best advertising options for your store.
 


What Are Lazada Sponsored Solutions?

Lazada Sponsored Solutions are different types of ads you can use as a seller on Lazada to get more people to see and buy your products.

  • Lazada uses smart technology like artificial intelligence (AI) and data about millions of shoppers to show your products to the right people. Sponsored Solutions is just one of many AI-driven tools Lazada offers to help sellers grow. If you're curious about other AI tools, like automated listing creation, chat support, and even smart product optimisation, check out this full guide to Lazada’s 9 AI tools.

  • These ads help you make your products more visible so more people click on them and visit your store.

  • The ads can bring more visitors (traffic) to your product pages.

  • This can help you sell more products on Lazada itself.

  • Some of these ads also work outside Lazada, like on Facebook or websites run by Lazada’s partners, to attract even more shoppers to your store.

These solutions are grouped into two main types, based on where your ads will be shown:

On-Platform Solutions

Off-Platform Solutions

These ads show inside the Lazada app or website.

These ads show outside Lazada, like on social media (e.g., Facebook), influencer pages, or partner websites.

They target shoppers who are already on Lazada, browsing or searching for products.

They help you reach new shoppers who are not on Lazada yet but might be interested in buying.

Great for catching people while they are already looking to buy.

Great for bringing external traffic back to your Lazada store.

How to Get Started with Lazada Sponsored Solutions

If you're new to Lazada ads, don't worry, you don’t need a huge budget or complicated setup to see results. Here’s how to begin the smart way:

1. Start Small with Sponsored Discovery
This is the easiest and most beginner-friendly tool. It helps your products show up in Lazada search results and recommendations. You only pay when someone clicks, so it's low-risk and great for testing.

2. Combine Campaigns for Better Coverage

Want to reach more shoppers? Use both Sponsored Discovery (for in-app visibility) and Sponsored Affiliate (for off-Lazada promotions) together. This way, you cover both on-platform and off-platform audiences.

3. Set Clear Goals and Budgets
Ask yourself:

  • Do I want more views (brand awareness)?

  • More clicks (traffic)?

  • Or more sales?

And then choose tools that match your goal, and set daily budgets you’re comfortable with. For example:

If you want low risk and only pay for real results, start with: Sponsored Affiliate

  • You only pay after someone buys your product.

  • Lazada partners with thousands of influencers and websites to promote your store.

  • Great for sellers who want guaranteed return on ad spend.
