The published table says one thing. Seller settlements say another. Here is how to find out which one applies to your account.
Last verified: October 2026
TikTok Shop's published US fee table lists a 6% referral fee for most categories, 5% for fine jewelry and pre-owned items, and a 3% promotional rate for eligible new sellers in their first 30 days. UK and EU standard referral is 9%.
Since August 2026, seller communities have widely reported an effective 8% referral charge on US orders. As of our October 2026 check, the published table still shows 6% — which is exactly why this matters: the gap only shows up if you audit your own settlement lines.
On a $35 product selling 100 units a month, the difference between 6% and 8% is $70/month, $840/year — straight out of profit. The FeeFact calculator shows this side-by-side for your own numbers automatically.
Export your settlement CSV from Seller Center and run it through the Settlement Checker. It computes the actual rate on every line and flags the ones that don't match your category. Your file never leaves your browser.
