TikTok vs Amazon fees
- TikTok platform fee: ~5%
- Creator commission: 10-20%
- Amazon referral: 8-17%
- Amazon FBA fulfillment: $3-6/unit
TikTok's platform fee is lower, but creator commissions close the gap. The offset is organic creator-driven traffic with no ad spend required.
Creator commission strategy
Start at 15-20% to attract early adopters and build social proof. Once you have video content performing well, you can lower the rate for new products. Run targeted commission boosts (e.g., 25% for 48 hours) to push a product during key sales windows without permanently raising costs.
Scaling on TikTok Shop
TikTok Shop rewards products with strong video-to-purchase rates. Focus on a small number of hero SKUs with clear demo potential. Keep your product price between $15-$60 for best impulse-buy conversion. Ensure your profit per unit is positive at 15%+ commission before recruiting creators at scale.
