What Is a Good TikTok Shop Affiliate Commission Rate?

Contribution-margin calculation · Updated October 2026 · Policies verified October 2026

Short answer

A good rate is one your margin supports. Calculate contribution after fees, fulfillment and refunds, benchmark your category, then use a standard open rate and higher targeted rates for proven sellers.

US affiliate access depends on shop-performance and product-qualification conditions, so recruitment access is not automatic.
