What benefits can I get?

Sellers in the Shipping Fee Program will be partially subsidized by TikTok Shop for offering low to free shipping to their buyers. Additionally, sellers who remain in the Shipping Fee Program may become eligible to receive free Ads traffic in select periods.
Sellers who opt-out will not receive subsidized shipping offered to buyers nor the additional ad traffic. They can sign-up again through the Seller Center (Sign-up link)
  1. Get Exclusive Shipping Incentives
This program gives sellers access to TikTok shipping incentives, which can help reduce shipping costs for their users. Given the type of user, TikTok will offer different shipping offers based on the minimum spend threshold. For example, for new users, once they reach a minimum spend of 39 MXN, TikTok will offer them 139 MXN in shipping subsidies. As the seller, you only pay 8% of the selling price on all successfully delivered products, before any platform subsidies

*Shipping subsidies only apply to the same shop, where Min spend is based on order selling price after any direct product discounts, final discount is the smaller of customer shipping fee before discounts and voucher max discount value
*Click Here to view the mapping between tiers and states
*If the shipping fee exceeds the shipping subsidy provided by platform and seller, the buyer will need to pay the amount exceeding the subsidy.
*The shipping fee split between buyers, TikTok Shop, sellers would be different if sellers set shipping fee discount by themselves. Please go to [FAQ 3] to get more details.
*Voucher issuance is optimized on a per-order basis to ensure that shipping subsidies effectively drive meaningful growth in shop traffic and conversion rates. Accordingly, a voucher may not be available for every order.
  1. Elevate Product Visibility
TikTok Shop will provide special "Free Shipping" or low cost shipping banners on participating seller products with zero or deducted shipping cost, making them easily identifiable to shoppers in Shoppable Video, Shop Tab, and LIVEs, potentially translating to higher purchase conversion rates.
  1. Boosted ad traffic
Shipping Fee program will also enable qualified sellers to receive free ad traffic on their ads for the duration that they remain in the Shipping Fee Program. This will increase ad visibility for more users.

  1. How does the SFP shipping subsidy work with the seller self-setup shipping fee discount?

If the seller sets up his own free shipping discount, the SFP subsidy will be deducted first when the minimum spending threshold is reached. The seller provided shipping subsidies will take effect after the SFP. But if the grand total order amount doesn't meet the threshold of SFP policy, the whole shipping fee will be covered by seller shipping fee discount.

  1. What options do sellers have besides joining the Shipping Fee Program, and what are the pros and cons of each?

  • Staying in the Shipping Fee Program (Recommended)
    • Pros: Shoppers receive free shipping when they apply their low or free shipping coupons, which can lead to increased sales. Qualified sellers will also notice a boost in their ad traffic.
  • Opting out of Shipping Fee Program
    • Pros: Seller can set higher thresholds for free shipping.
    • Cons: Sellers will pay for all of their low or free shipping options to buyers. TikTok Shop will not subsidize their shipping offers nor provide additional ad traffic.
  1. How does the free shipping threshold from Shipping Fee Program impact coupons and discounts?

Sellers should note that coupons and discounts will impact the free shipping threshold¹ differently. Buyers are given a variety of low to free shipping fee coupons.
  • Discounts, coupons and Flash Deal: Discounts, coupons and Flash Deal provided through a direct subsidy or a direct reduction in the item price will influence the calculation of the free shipping if there is a threshold listed. For example, if you sell a product for $5 and offer a direct discount of $3, the total listing price would be reduced to $2. As a result, this specific product may not qualify for the Shipping Fee Program, it falls below the Shipping coupon threshold indicated on the coupon. Not all free or low shipping coupons have a threshold to be met.
¹ Free Shipping threshold is an amount that that buyer must reach in order to be eligible for the coupon. An example would be " Free Shipping on orders over $30.
  1. Are there any exceptions where shoppers will not receive a free shipping coupon?

  • Yes, some buyers may receive a low shipping fee coupon.
  • Products with poor customer experience may be removed from the TikTok Shop free shipping product list. In these cases, shoppers will need to pay the shipping fees.
  1. Is the Shipping Fee Program subsidization provided at the order level or package level?

Shipping Fee Program subsidization is provided at the order level.
  1. Does the Shipping Fee Program apply for Free Sample Shipping?
Please note that the Shipping Cost for offering free samples is 100% on seller, SFP is not applicable.
