TikTok Shop Seller Fees 2026: Referral, Affiliate & Shipping

TikTok Shop seller fees take 6-10% of your selling price on a typical direct sale in 2026 — and up to 25-30% if you run affiliate campaigns or cross-border fulfilment. The headline cost is the referral fee (1-8% depending on market and category), but TikTok Shop is unusual among marketplaces because it charges no separate transaction fee — payment processing is already baked into the referral rate. Optional costs stack on top: affiliate commissions (you set 5-25%), ads, returns, and cross-border fulfilment fees. New sellers get a discounted 1.8-3% referral fee for their first 30-90 days in most markets. Here’s exactly how each TikTok Shop fee works, what it costs you per order, and how to keep more of every sale.
