TikTok Shop Thailand fees changed materially in 2026. The transaction fee is no longer 1.8%. TikTok's Thailand Seller Center says the transaction fee became 3.21% including VAT for orders placed from March 21, 2026. Non-Mall sellers may also pay a 5.89% Commerce Growth Fee including VAT, capped at THB 199 per item, in addition to category commission and any seller-set affiliate commission.
TikTok Shop Thailand Fee Stack in 2026
A reliable payout estimate needs to separate each fee because they use different rules. Category commission changed again from May 6, 2026 and varies by product category. The Commerce Growth Fee and transaction fee have their own published rates, while affiliate commission is controlled by the seller.

Worked TikTok Shop Thailand Payout Example
Assume a THB 1,000 item, an illustrative 8% category commission, the 3.21% transaction fee, and the 5.89% Commerce Growth Fee. Before affiliate commission, shipping subsidies, returns, and product cost:
Estimated platform fees = (THB 1,000 Ã 8%) + (THB 1,000 Ã 3.21%) + (THB 1,000 Ã 5.89%)
THB 80 + THB 32.10 + THB 58.90 = THB 171.00, leaving THB 829.00 before other costs.
The example uses an assumed category commission only to show the calculation. Select the current category rate and check whether the Commerce Growth Fee applies to your shop before relying on the result. Use the TikTok Shop Thailand Fee Calculator to test your own rates.
Affiliate Commission and Other Costs
Affiliate commission is not a fixed platform rate. Sellers choose the commission offered to creators, so a campaign can be profitable at one rate and loss-making at another. Also include vouchers funded by the seller, advertising, logistics, returns, product cost, and taxes when calculating net margin.
How to Verify Your Category Rate
TikTok Shop Thailand publishes category commission tables in Seller Center and may update them during the year. Use the category assigned to the listing, not a broad marketplace average. Check the settlement statement after launch to verify the actual deductions against your model.
