TikTok Shop referral fee calculation
Multiply qualified item revenue by the referral rate that applies to the category. A $100 fee base at 6% produces a $6 referral fee and a $94 pre-other-cost payout.
TikTok’s official category page has documented a 6% general rate and a 5% rate for named jewelry subcategories. Seller Center is the final place to confirm the rate for the actual listing.
Optional TikTok Shop program fees
Affiliate commissions, campaign participation, smart-promotion funding, shipping programs, ads, samples, and other seller choices can create additional costs.
The optional program field is deliberately separate. It does not claim every program uses the same base or percentage.

Questions, answered.
What referral fee does TikTok Shop charge?
The official U.S. category guidance has documented a 6% standard referral rate and 5% for named jewelry subcategories; confirm the current category rate in Seller Center.
Does this include affiliate commission?
No. Creator affiliate commission and other optional program costs are separate unless you explicitly model one with the optional program-rate field.
Why do I enter qualified item revenue?
The final fee base can differ from a simple checkout total after discounts, support, refunds, taxes, or shipping treatment, so the settlement basis should be confirmed.
