Why TikTok Shop's '8% commission' is closer to 25% by the time you ship
TikTok Shop markets an 8% platform commission in most US categories. Sellers see that and assume a $30 product nets them $27.60. The reality stacks faster: payment processing typically runs 2.9% + $0.30, and if the sale came from a creator's affiliate link, you owe the creator their published commission (often 10-20%, sometimes higher for beauty and fashion).
On a $30 sale with a 15% creator commission, you give up roughly $2.40 platform + $1.17 processing + $4.50 creator = $8.07 in fees — about 27% before you've paid for the product itself. Subtract COGS and shipping and the margin most sellers expected is gone.
The fix is twofold. Price for the worst-case fee stack (assume every sale routes through an affiliate). And tune the creator commission you advertise — high commission attracts creators but eats margin; low commission limits affiliate volume. There's no wrong answer, but you have to know the numbers.
