TikTok Shop Raises Commission Fees: What It Means for Sellers & How Zetpy Helps

TikTok Shop Commission Announcement

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.

 


Zetpy Helps You Stay Ahead

At Zetpy, we’ve seen how operational efficiency makes a big difference – especially
when fees rise. Our platform helps you:

– Sync stock & orders seamlessly across Shopee, Lazada, TikTok, Shopify, WooCommerce, and more. It helps to reducing overselling and increase customer confidence as well as customer retention.

– Manage all chats in one place with Zetpy Multichat – handle messages from every marketplace and social channel in one inbox. Faster responses mean higher chances of converting enquiries into sales.

– Access Zetpy Sales & Product Reports for real-time insights into your best-selling products and channels. No more manual reporting – spend time more on business strategic planning instead.

 


Final Thoughts

Yes, TikTok fees are rising – but it’s how you adapt that matters. By streamlining operations and using tools like Zetpy, you can stay efficient, protect your business, and keep growing.

Faster, Easier: Self-Service Product Reimport is Now Available in Zetpy

✨ Faster, Easier: Self Product Reimport Function is Now Available in Zetpy

Running an online business means product details can change often – whether it’s updating SKUs, adding new variants, or cleaning up listings. In the past, if you needed to reimport product data from TikTok Shop, Shopee, Lazada, WooCommerce or Shopify,  you had to contact the Zetpy Support Team to help with that specific listing, or conduct a mass import.

That process worked, but it wasn’t always the fastest.

Now, things just got a whole lot easier. 🚀


✅ What’s New?

With our latest improvement, you can now import a single listing or reimport a specific product listings after amending in your Seller Center – without needing support assistance.

This means:

– No more waiting for the Support Team to handle your reimport requests.

– No more delays in updating specific listings or doing bulk reimports.

– You’re in full control – make changes and sync instantly.


📌 When Do You Need to Reimport?

Reimporting is useful whenever:

– You’ve added new variants in your Seller Center/Online Store (e.g., a new color or size).

– You’ve edited variant details, like SKUs in your Seller Center/Online Store.

– You’ve removed variants from your marketplace listing.

– You’ve created new products directly on your marketplace or store, without Zetpy.


🙌 Why This Matters

Previously, every reimport request meant conducting a mass import or contacting our Support Team. While we were always happy to help, it slowed down your workflow – especially if you needed quick changes to stay in sync across multiple channels.

Now, with self-service reimport, you can:

– Save time with instant updates.

– Keep product data accurate across channels.

– Reduce overselling and errors without waiting on support.

Our Customer Success Team is still here for you 💙 — but now you won’t need us for every reimport or mass update.


🚀 Get Started

Try it out today → follow this guide:

This new improvement is all about empowering you to work faster and smarter. By letting you manage reimports directly, Zetpy helps you keep selling without delays.

Easily Fix Lazada Variation Name with Zetpy

Easily Fix Lazada Variation Attributes with Zetpy

Managing product variations on Lazada just got easier! Lazada has recently enhanced how sellers can handle variation attributes on their platform via API, and Zetpy has updated our Lazada Plugin to fully support this improvement. 🚀

🔎 The Challenge Before

Previously, once you added variation attributes into Lazada, you weren’t able to edit them afterwards. This caused error if attributes didn’t match exactly between your Zetpy Lazada Plugin and Lazada Seller Center.

   – Example: In some category, you might be using “Color” in Zetpy, while Lazada requires “Color Family”.

   – In those cases, an error would appear, and the only solution was to restart the listing process.

✅ The New Improvement

With this new Zetpy’s Lazada plugin enhancement – you now have the flexibility to edit variation attributes after saving or during the adding process.

That means if you encounter the error mentioned above, you can quickly adjust the attribute with the Dropdown list (example, change “Color” to “Color Family”) without having to start over.

💡 What This Means for You

This improvement gives sellers:

  • More flexibility → fix variation attributes anytime

  • Less hassle → no need to delete and re-add products

  • Faster syncing → smoother, error-free product listings on Lazada

What’s Next:

Try it out if you encountered the error mentioned in Lazada plugin today! Should you encounter further issue, feel free to contact us at support@zetpy.com

At Zetpy, we continuously update our integrations to keep up with platform changes, so you can focus on selling while we handle the technical details.
