TikTok Shop Malaysia Introduces New Platform Support Fee Starting Feb 15, 2026

If you are selling on TikTok Shop Malaysia, there is an important update regarding your store’s fee structure. To ensure your business remains profitable and your operations stay smooth, here is everything you need to know about the new Platform Support Fee.

What is the Platform Support Fee?

Starting from 15 February 2026 (00:00 GMT+8), TikTok Shop Malaysia will introduce a fixed Platform Support Fee of RM0.50 (RM0.54 inclusive of 8% SST) for every successfully delivered order.

Unlike the commission fee, which is percentage-based, this is a flat fee per order, regardless of how many items are in the parcel or the total value of the order.

Here is an example given by TikTok Shop.

 

Why is TikTok Shop doing this?

According to TikTok Shop Academy, this fee is part of a broader strategy to reinvest into the ecosystem. The funds will be used to improve:

– Seller Center Tools: Better features for managing your shop.

– Logistics & Infrastructure: Faster and more reliable shipping.

– User Experience: Driving more traffic and better buyer protection to increase your conversion rates.


 

What You Can Do in Zetpy

To stay ahead of these changes, use Zetpy’s powerful automation tools to manage your margins and simplify your bookkeeping:

– Bulk Update Your Prices: A flat fee of RM0.54 per order can eat into margins, especially for low-priced items. Use Zetpy’s TikTok Shop Bulk Price Edit feature to adjust your prices across your entire catalog in just a few clicks.

– Create Profitable Bundles: Since the fee is charged per order (not per item), bundling products is a smart move. Use Zetpy Product Bundles to create attractive combinations that encourage larger cart sizes, effectively spreading the flat fee across multiple items.

– Monitor Real-Time Inventory: With TikTok’s increased investment in traffic, expect more orders! Use Zetpy to sync your stock across TikTok Shop, Shopee, and Lazada in real-time to avoid overselling and maintain a high seller rating.


 

Are there any exemptions?

The good news is that TikTok Shop is offering exemptions to support new sellers and SMEs. You might not have to pay this fee if you fall into these categories:

  1. New Marketplace Sellers: You are exempted for the first 120 days after your first product listing.

  2. SME/Small Sellers: You are exempted if, in the previous 30-day assessment period, you had:

    • 100 or fewer completed orders; OR

    • Between 101 to 200 orders with a total GMV of not more than RM3,000.

  3. Essential Categories: Orders containing items like Bakery Ingredients, Fresh & Frozen food, Groceries, and certain Textbooks are exempted.

 

Key Dates to Remember

  • Assessment Period: Evaluation happens on the 16th of every month.

  • Implementation Date: 15 February 2026.

11.11 Zetpy Analytic: What our Data Reveals vs. 2024

The dust has settled on 11.11, and the numbers are in. At Zetpy, we crunched the aggregate transaction data from this year’s Singles’ Day and benchmarked it against our 2024 records to understand exactly how the modern customer’s behavior has evolved.

Here is the breakdown of the 11.11 performance compared to 2024, and what you should learn from it for 12.12.


 

1. The “Voucher Wars” Dictate the Schedule

We always knew the midnight launch was important, but the year-over-year data proves that timing is one of the most critical factor in volume growth.

The Two Key Waves

– 00:00 AM (The Midnight Rush): As expected, the moment the clock struck twelve, orders surged by +44.75% compared to the year 2024. This massive increase is driven entirely by consumers camping for platform vouchers and “12 AM – 2 AM” exclusive deals, a behavior that has intensified significantly since last year.

– 07:00 AM (The Morning Commute): This is the surprise winner. While sellers slept, buyers woke up. We saw a +48.38% spike at 7:00 AM compared to year 2024. This suggests a growing trend of a “second wave” of buyers checking their phones immediately upon waking up to grab what’s left.

The Red Zones

As for comparing to last year data, below are the 2 timeframe that buyer intention has dropped the most.

– 02:00 AM: After the 2-hour voucher window closes, traffic crashes hard, dropping by -68.68%.

– Mid-Day Slump: Interestingly, 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM saw significant dips (-21% to -40%). Shoppers are likely busy working or heading to lunch, not checking out carts.


 

2. The Platform Shift: Brand Power & Cross-Border

If you relied solely on the same strategy as 2024, you likely missed the biggest growth pockets. The data shows a massive shift toward “Brand.com” stores and cross-border sales this year.

Shopify: The Breakout Star

– Growth: A massive +338.76% surge compared to 2024.

– The Insight: Shoppers are becoming much more comfortable buying directly from official brand stores (Brand.com) during big sales.

 

Shopee Singapore is also growing significantly

– Shopee Singapore: Recorded a growth surge of +128.84% vs 2024.

– Shopee Malaysia: Still strong with +58.15% growth vs 2024.

– The Insight: The growth rate in Singapore was more than double that of Malaysia compared to last year’s figures. This indicates a massive opportunities for cross border sales to Shopee SG.


 

3. Wait… What About the Days Before & After?

 

While everyone focuses on the midnight madness of 11.11, our data spotted a hidden trend.

The Pre-Game (Nov 10): A massive +48.3% YoY jump! 🚀 Shoppers aren’t waiting anymore, they are shopping earlier instead; they are securing carts early with the sales peaking at 8:00 PM

The Aftermath (Nov 12): A solid +10.6% increase compare to last year.

 


 

4. So, Where Did the Sales Go?

We tracked performance across the full 3-day period (Nov 10–12), and the year-on-year growth winners were clear. While marketplaces remain strong, “Brand.com” webstores stole the show:

  • Shopify: ⬆️ +290.7% ( The massive winner!)

  • Shopee SG: ⬆️ +178.7%

  • Shopee MY: ⬆️ +73.9%

  • WooCommerce: ⬆️ +41.8%

The Insight: Again, This shows shoppers aren’t just browsing marketplaces anymore. Instead,  they are purchasing from official brand websites (Shopify/WooCommerce) more than ever for big campaigns.

 


 

5. What’s next?

Based on this 11.11 intelligence, here is what you can consider to do for the upcoming double-digit sales:

  1. Start the Party Early  Don’t wait for midnight. The data proves shoppers are locking in deals the night before. Schedule your “Pre-Hype” emails and social posts to hit right at 8:00 PM on the day before the double digit sale to capture that early surge.
  2. Don’t Ignore Your Webstore: With Shopify exploding (+290%) and WooCommerce growing steady (+41%) over the 3 days period, the data proves customers are ready to buy direct. Don’t just treat your website as a backup catalog. Create exclusive “Webstore Only” bundles with Zetpy Bundle feature that shoppers can’t find on marketplaces to drive higher margins and capture this traffic.

  3. Turn on Cross-Border Selling: If you haven’t sell your products to Shopee SG yet, do it now. You are leaving +128% year-over-year growth on the table. Zetpy support syncing to Shopee SG as well. saving you the hassle of managing the stock and processing the orders manually. As for Shopee SG sellers, You can also extend your reach and boost your sales further to Shopee MY and manage them under 1 platform using Zetpy as well.

  4. Staff for the 7 AM Shift: Everyone stays up for midnight, but who is managing customer service at 7:00 AM? That is your second biggest peak—make sure you have chat support ready. Utilize our Zetpy Multichat also can help you improve the efficiency of managing multiple platforms chat.

 

We hope that this analytics will give you some insights that help to grow your business further. See you at 12.12!

The Hidden Risks of Manual AutoCount Order Entry in Peak Sales Season

Why Manual Key-In Leads to Accounting Errors, Especially During 12.12, Christmas and New Year Sales

If you’ve ever survived 11.11, 12.12 or Christmas sales, you know the chaos: orders coming in non-stop, staff working overtime and someone still stuck manually keying Shopee or Lazada orders into AutoCount.

This is when mistakes explode.
Wrong stock. Wrong amounts. Duplicate invoices. Missing entries.
And suddenly your year-end numbers don’t make sense.

It’s not your team’s fault. Manual entry simply can’t keep up with peak-season speed. The more orders you have, the higher the risk of accounting errors, overselling and frustrated customers.

The good news is: all of this can be reduced significantly.
Automation removes the stress. It keeps your stock accurate, your reports clean and your team free from burnout.

If you want the next 12.12 or Christmas season to run smoothly, keep reading – or just message us now and we’ll show you how Zetpy syncs all your marketplace orders into AutoCount automatically.


 

When Big Sales Hit, Manual Entry Simply Cannot Keep Up

During peak sales, it’s normal for orders to jump three to ten times higher than usual. Your team is trying to type faster, switch between screens, chase customers, check SKUs and calculate fees all at the same time.

Under this pressure, mistakes are unavoidable, such as:

– Typing the wrong quantity

– Selecting the wrong item

– Entering the wrong customer

– Missing a discount or voucher

– Forgetting a cancellation

– Applying the wrong shipping amount

Small errors like these can lead to big problems. You end up with wrong stock, wrong profit, wrong accounting and reports that simply do not match reality.

When hundreds of orders are coming in, accuracy becomes almost impossible.


 

Duplicate Entries and Missing Orders Happen Easily

Peak season inside any SME is chaotic.
Staff are tired, rushing and juggling too many tasks at the same time.

It’s common for someone to accidentally key in the same order twice, forget that they entered it yesterday, mix up cancelled orders with completed orders 0r two staff members handle the same batch without realising it.

Before you know it, you have duplicated invoices, wrong stock deduction and sales figures that don’t match your marketplace statements. Fixing this mess can take hours or even days.


 

Year-End Closing Becomes Slower and More Stressful

The end of the year is already busy for your accounting team. They need to prepare:

– Month-end closing and Annual closing

– Stock take

– Supplier reconciliation

– Marketplace commission reports

– Year-end revenue checks

If they still need to manually key in hundreds or thousands of orders from 12.12 and Christmas, everything slows down. Reports become inaccurate, stock doesn’t tally and cash flow becomes harder to plan.

Your business enters the new year with messy numbers and a team that is completely drained.


 

Manual Key-In Leads to Staff Burnout

During big sales weeks, your team often works late nights, weekends and deals with high pressure. Manual key-in only makes it worse.

It is repetitive, tiring and mentally draining.
One small mistake can cause even more work.
Staff become frustrated and stressed.
Tension increases between teams like warehouse, finance and operations.

Your people are tired, and that affects everything.


 

Automation Fixes All of These Problems Instantly

This is why more sellers switch to Zetpy and AutoCount integration. Automation removes the stress and the risk.

Here is what happens when you let Zetpy handle the heavy work:

– Orders sync automatically from all marketplaces into AutoCount

– Stock updates stay accurate across Shopee, Lazada, TikTok Shop, Shopify and WooCommerce

– Discounts, vouchers and shipping fees  are all captured correctly

– Zero manual key-in means zero typos and zero missing orders

– Month-end and year-end closing becomes smoother and faster

– Your team gets back hours of time every day

Automation gives your business speed, accuracy and peace of mind.


 

Final Thoughts: Manual Entry Is the Silent Killer of Year-End Sales

When sales are at their peak, every mistake becomes bigger and more painful.

Manual key-in leads to wrong stock, overselling, customer complaints, duplicate entries, inaccurate profit, delayed accounting, stressed teams and frustrated business owners.

But once you automate:

– You save time and reduce human errors.

– You run smoother operations as the process flow is now simpler.

– Your reports stay accurate

– Your team stays motivated

– Your business grows without chaos

Peak season should grow your revenue, not increase your headaches.
