What commission should you pay TikTok Shop affiliates?

Start from what the best sellers in your kind of product pay. In FastMoss's top 10 products for the last three quarters, supplements paid 23% to 30%, skin and body care paid 15% every time, and most things over $100 paid 5% to 7%.

How brands split it

“Everybody gets affiliate commission. And then you have different tiers between they get a higher commission on sales from organic views.”
ConnorCMO at Ridge

Marketing Operators, July 2026

Ridge pays a lower commission on sales that come through GMV Max, TikTok's own ads, because it's already paying to promote those videos.

“We can lean in so heavy on just how much we're incentivizing our creators because we know it's going to affect the whole omni-channel operation.”
Gregco-founder of Bloom

Open Residency, June 2026

Bloom can pay more because TikTok Shop isn't what keeps the lights on, and its co-founder sees the shop's sales carry over to Amazon, Target and Walmart.

Setting yours

  1. Look up what the best sellers in your kind of product pay, and start there.
  2. Pay a higher rate on sales a creator brings in alone, and a lower one on sales from ads you're already paying for.
  3. If the shop's sales lift your other channels, you can afford to pay more than the shop alone earns back.
