How TikTok Shop fees work (US, 2026)

Platform fee = (item price + shipping charged) × referral fee %

The referral fee applies to the total order value including shipping. Most US categories sit at about 8%; some promotions and categories run lower.

There is no per-order fixed fee or monthly subscription for standard sellers — the referral fee is the main platform cost.

Affiliate commissions (typically 5–20% that creators set) are separate: if you sell through affiliates, add that rate to your cost inputs to see true margin.

About 8% for most categories after the increase from 6% in 2024 — but TikTok adjusts rates, so verify in Seller Center and edit here.

Do I pay fees on shipping?

Yes — the referral fee applies to the full order value, including what you charge for shipping.

Does this include affiliate commissions?

No. Creator commissions are negotiated per video/product. If affiliates drive the sale, add the commission rate to the 'other costs' input.
