Affiliate commission is the commission you get as a TikTok Shop Creator when you cooperate with a merchant to promote their products. You'll earn commission on every item that is sold through your content.

Commission protection:

We've aligned Open Collaboration Shop Ad commission rules with our standard commission rules. Creators will now get a 30-day grace period to earn their original Shop Ads commission rate before a new rate takes effect.

• When sellers raise a product's commission rate, creators who have been promoting that product in their showcase will receive the higher commission rate instantly. This applies to both standard commission rates and Shop Ads commission rates.
• When sellers lower a product's commission rate, creators who have been promoting that product in their showcase will keep their initial commission and receive a notification 2 days before their 30-day lock up period expires to let them know that their commission rate will be lowered. For Shop Ads commission rate changes, creators will not receive a 2-day notification. There will be clear alerts when managing the product in their showcase or adding their product about the 30-day grace period.

How it works:

Creator Experience

Standard Commission Rate

• When a creator picks a product to promote, they'll be reminded that their commission rate is guaranteed for 30 days.
• If the seller decides to raise that product's commission rate, the creator will immediately receive that higher commission rate.
• If a seller decides to lower their commission rate after the creator has started promoting the product, creators will be able to see how long their commission rate is protected based on the 30 day window that appears in their showcase.
• Creators will also receive a notification 2 days before their 30 day commission rate window expires to let them know the commission rate will decrease.

Shop Ads Commission Rate

• When a creator picks an impacted product their showcase to promote, they'll be reminded that they are within a 30-day grace period for the commission rate changes. They will see communication about this when managing the product in their showcase, adding a product from their showcase to Shoppable Video, or adding a product from their showcase to their LIVE.

Seller Experience

Standard Commission Rates

• When a seller enrolls a product in an open collaboration and sets up a commission rate, they'll be reminded that all creators receive a locked commission rate period of 30 days, regardless of any decreases the seller makes to the commission rate after creators begin promoting the product.
• When a seller edits or batch edits commission rates, they'll be able to see the impact of those changes for creators already promoting impacted products.
  • When a seller increases a product's commission, they'll be reminded of the number of creators who are currently promoting the product. All of these creators will immediately receive the higher commission rate, along with new creators promoting the product.
  • When a seller decreases a product's commission, they'll be notified of the number of creators who are currently promoting the product and who will be receiving a notification of an upcoming commission decrease 2 days before their locked commission rate expires.
  • New creators who begin promoting the product will receive the decreased commission rate and will keep this commission rate for the 30 day period.
