How this comparison works
TikTok Shop may have lower marketplace commission than Etsy, but affiliate commission and fulfillment assumptions can change the winner.
Use this calculator for creator-driven products, handmade goods, POD, beauty, fashion and products you could list on either channel.
Platform Fees = Sale Price × Fee % + Fixed Fee + Extra Cost
Net Payout = Sale Price − Platform Fees
Profit = Net Payout − Product Cost − Shipping − Ad Spend
Winner = Platform with higher profit under your assumptions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is TikTok Shop cheaper than Etsy?
Often yes on base marketplace commission, but affiliate commission, payment processing and fulfillment can narrow the gap.
Should creator commission be included?
Yes if the sale is driven by a TikTok creator or affiliate. Use the extra percentage field for that commission.
Can I use this for POD products?
Yes. Put the POD base cost in product cost and seller-paid postage or fulfillment cost in shipping.
