How TikTok Shop Fees Work
TikTok Shop charges two types of fees on every sale. Understanding these fees is crucial for profitable pricing and accurate profit calculations.
1. TikTok Shop Commission (6%)
TikTok charges a 6% commission on your sale price. This fee covers platform usage, hosting your product listings, and access to TikTok’s shopping features. The commission is calculated as: Sale Price × 0.06
2. Transaction Fee (2.18% + $0.30)
Payment processing fees cover credit card and digital wallet transactions. The fee structure is: (Sale Price × 0.0218) + $0.30 per transaction. This means higher-priced items have proportionally lower transaction fees.
Your Payout
After deducting both fees, the remaining amount is transferred to your bank account. Payouts typically occur within 1-3 business days after the order is marked as delivered.

5 Tips to Minimize TikTok Shop Fee Impact
1. Bundle Products
Sell multiple items together to increase order value. The $0.30 transaction fee is per order, not per item.
2. Price Strategically
Higher-priced items have lower fee percentages. A $50 item pays 7.1% in fees vs 8.3% for a $30 item.
3. Focus on High-Margin Products
Sell products with 3x+ markup to absorb TikTok fees while maintaining healthy profit margins.
4. Optimize for Organic Reach
TikTok’s algorithm can drive free traffic to your products. Viral content reduces reliance on paid advertising.
5. Use Creator Partnerships
Partner with creators for commission-based promotion. This makes marketing costs variable rather than fixed.
