TikTok Shop Seller Fees 2026 — Referral, FBT & Commission Rates
TikTok Shop fee policy shifted faster than any major US marketplace in 2025–2026. Sellers need the current referral tier (6% standard, 3% new-seller promo, 8% selected categories), FBT per-unit fulfillment, and the creator affiliate commission line that most generic calculators omit entirely. Bookmark this page for January repricing — TikTok has adjusted referral and subsidy terms quarterly.
