TikTok Shop has announced that effective from 13 September 2025, commission rates for sellers will be revised. Here’s what you need to know:
What’s Changing?
Starting 13 September 2025, TikTok Shop will increase commission fees:
– Marketplace sellers: up to 15.66%
– Mall sellers: up to 18.90%
What This Means for Sellers
Higher fees impact your profit margins – especially if you’re selling low-margin or fast-moving items. Tax, fulfilment, and advertising costs still add up on top of these commissions.
Smart Strategies for Mitigating TikTok Fees
1. Focus on High-Margin Products
Consider selling bundles, premium items, or complementary products using Zetpy’s Bundle feature — these often sell better and carry healthier margins that can help absorb platform fee changes.
2. Join Benefits Programs (like BXP)
Sellers in TikTok’s Benefit Extra Program (BXP) may enjoy lower rates.
Plus perks like vouchers and cashback to support growth.
3. Streamline Operations with Zetpy
Use tools like stock & order sync in Zetpy to process order under 1 platform and reduce overselling. Zetpy Multichat also enables you to handle chats from TikTok Shop, Shopee, Lazada, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, Meta Business Suite and Telegram under one place. Faster response = higher change to converting enquires to sales.
4. Leverage Creator & Affiliate Marketing
Drive sales volume through affiliates and creators. While you share commissions, this strategy can multiply reach and help offset TikTok’s increased fees.
