How is Promotion Performance Score (PPS) calculated?

(4.2 × 50%) + (4.0 × 50%) = 4.1 PPS
Product Selection Score
Your Product Selection Score measures the quality of the products you promote.It is an order-weighted average. This means products that generate more orders have a greater effect on your score.
Formula:Product Selection Score = Sum of (Product Score x Orders Generated) / Total Orders
What is a Product Score?
The Product Score is based on the product's positive review rate compared with other products in the same category. A higher positive review rate generally results in a higher Product Score.You may see a product's Product Score when:
- Browsing products in the Product Marketplace
- Viewing products in your Showcase
- Linking products to your video or LIVE content
Products without a Product Score are excluded from the calculation and will not affect your Product Selection Score.
Which orders are counted?
The calculation includes orders that meet both conditions:- The order was placed within the last 30 days
- The content that generated the order was posted within the last 90 days
- Multiple units of the same SKU in one order count as one order for that SKU.
- If one order contains multiple SKUs, each SKU counts as one order in the calculation.

Example Calculation
Step 1: Calculate the Product Selection Score
The creator promoted the same product in two pieces of content:| Content | Product Score when posted | Orders generated |
| Content 1 | 4.5 | 20 |
| Content 2 | 4.0 | 30 |
- Content 1: 4.5 × 20 = 90
- Content 2: 4.0 × 30 = 120
- Product Selection Score = (90 + 120) ÷ (20 + 30) = 4.2
Step 2: Calculate the Content Score
The creator's Content Score is calculated as follows:| Component | Score impact |
| Base Score | + 3.8 |
| Good-Quality LIVE Score | + 2.0 |
| Videos Without Violations Score | + 0.4 |
| Content with Violations Deduction | - 2.0 |
- Content Score = 3.8 + 2.0 + 0.4 − 2.0 = 4.2
Step 3: Calculate the Final PPS
The Product Selection Score and Content Score each contribute 50% to the final PPS.PPS = (Product Selection Score × 50%) + (Content Score × 50%)
- PPS = (4.2 × 50%) + (4.2 × 50%)
- PPS = 2.1 + 2.1 = 4.2
