TikTok is Implementing this Policy from 30th April! ~ What do you need to prepare for? 1. Change your pricing to cover your shipping cost. 2. Add paid shipping like Express and Standard shipping. 3. Deactivate Flash Sales, you can't edit pricing in ongoing promotions. 4. A quick change in price can decrease your sales so slowly start increasing your prices. You might have to bear some loss or even breakeven. 5. Participate in TikTok funded coupons. This policy doesn't mean that tiktok will start covering the shipping cost. Tiktok is now giving flat free economy shipping to its customer after 30 April. Seller will bear the shipping fee from onwards. #tiktokshop

📢 TikTok Shop Introduced Co-Funded Free Shipping Program On August 26, 2024, TikTok Shop launched a new Co-Funded Free Shipping initiative for sellers! 🚚 💡 Key Highlights: TikTok reimbursed sellers $2 per order for eligible products. This applied to orders valued at $30 or more, with the first 500 orders covered. Impact: Sellers may have increased prices by 10-20% to cover the remaining shipping costs, which ranged from $2 to $8 per order. While this aimed to improve the shopping experience with free shipping, sellers—especially those with low margins—expressed concerns about reduced profits and potential sales decline. #eCommerce #TikTokShop #FreeShipping #Sellers

Sometimes, trying something new can teach you valuable lessons, even if it means losing some money. The day TikTok launched its GMV Max delivery option, I faced a setback. I wouldn't call it a complete loss, but I definitely learned about the game, its loopholes, and strategies. While everyone is quick to share their victories, few talk about their losses and the learning process. So, here’s a glimpse of my experience with TikTok ads and what I’ve learned. #TiktokAds #TikTokShop #Usa
