How to use this
- Use the table to see what a sale costs you, then use a calculator for net profit.
- Every figure follows Seller Center's own policy, not a third-party fee article.
- The policy page never says "includes payment processing" - we do not quote it as a TikTok line.
Common questions
What is the TikTok Shop US referral fee?
A flat 6% for most categories, 5% for fine jewelry and pre-owned. Unchanged since 2024-04-01.
Is there still a transaction fee?
No. The US commission policy defines one fee (the referral fee). Third-party guides read payment processing as sitting inside that 6%.
How is FBT storage billed?
Per cubic foot per day, on sellable and defective units alike. First 60 days free, then 8 tiers by days held, minimum 0.001 cu ft per SKU per day.
