Frequently asked questions
What fee does TikTok Shop take from live sales?
TikTok Shop charges a referral fee on each order. The rate has changed several times since the US launch, so verify your current rate in Seller Center — the calculator defaults to 8% and lets you adjust it.
What is a realistic conversion for TikTok Live?
For most US sellers, 1–5 buyers per session is a realistic starting band. Top hosts in China's mature market close far more, using structured loops — that gap is exactly what the Playbook library teaches.
