Ways to keep more on TikTok Shop
- Affiliate commission is where margins go. An 8% referral fee plus a 15% creator commission is 23% before shipping.
- The 3% new-seller window is worth planning around: launch with inventory ready so your first 30 days carry real volume.
- Because the fee is on customer payment including shipping, charging shipping separately does not avoid it.
