How TikTok Shop seller fees work
Selling on TikTok Shop US costs a single category-based commission fee, charged as a percentage of the total amount the buyer pays, which includes the item price plus any shipping fee you charge. Unlike Amazon or eBay, TikTok Shop does not add a separate fixed per-order fee for most sellers. If you run the TikTok Shop Affiliate Program, you can also set an optional commission that pays creators who drive sales through their videos and LIVE shopping streams, on top of the standard commission.
Commission rates vary by product category, generally landing between 6% and 9% for most listings, with some categories priced lower or higher. Because the affiliate commission is entirely seller-controlled, it's worth modeling both with and without it to see the true impact on your margin before you commit to a creator campaign.
The formula
buyer total = item price + shipping charged
commission fee = buyer total × commission rate
affiliate commission = item price × affiliate rate
TikTok Shop fees = commission fee + affiliate commission
profit = buyer total − item cost − shipping cost − TikTok Shop fees
commission fee = buyer total × commission rate
affiliate commission = item price × affiliate rate
TikTok Shop fees = commission fee + affiliate commission
profit = buyer total − item cost − shipping cost − TikTok Shop fees
Worked example
You sell a $50 item with $5 shipping charged, at an 8% commission rate and no affiliate program. TikTok Shop's cut is 55 × 0.08 = $4.40. If the item cost you $18 and shipping cost $4, your profit is 55 − 18 − 4 − 4.40 = $28.60, a healthy margin. Add a 15% affiliate commission and the creator's cut is 50 × 0.15 = $7.50, dropping profit to $21.10.
