📋 How TikTok Shop Seller Fees Work in 2026
TikTok Shop charges sellers a combination of fees that vary by country. In the United States, sellers pay a referral/commission fee (2-8% depending on category), a flat $0.30 transaction fee per order, and a 2% payment processing fee. New US sellers enjoy a reduced 2% commission rate for their first 90 days.
In Southeast Asian markets (Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Singapore), the fee structure includes a category-based commission, a transaction fee (2.18-6.00%), and additional platform or tech support fees. Some countries distinguish between Marketplace (standard) and Mall (brand) sellers, with Mall sellers paying higher commission rates but gaining access to premium features. Note: Vietnam's transaction fee rose from 2.5% to 6.0% on 9 May 2026 — currently the highest in the region.
In the UK and EU, TikTok Shop uses a simpler model with commission rates of 5-9% that include most processing costs, plus a small flat platform fee per order. Commission is calculated on the total order amount including shipping.

Mid-range: UK, EU, Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore fall in the middle, with total effective rates of 8-15% depending on category and seller type. Malaysia sellers should note the RM 0.54 per-order platform support fee introduced in February 2026.
💡 Tips to Maximize Your TikTok Shop Profit
Take advantage of new seller promotions. Nearly every TikTok Shop market offers reduced fees for new sellers. In the US, you get 2% commission for 90 days. In the EU, completing onboarding tasks drops your rate to 4% for 60 days. Time your product launches to maximize these savings.
Choose your seller type wisely. In Malaysia, Vietnam, and Philippines, Mall sellers pay 1-3% higher commission but get brand verification badges and higher buyer trust. Calculate whether the potential increase in conversion rate justifies the higher fees for your specific products.
