Shipping Fee Setup Options

When setting up your shipping templates, you can choose from the following rate models to define shipping fees:

• Quantity-based: Shipping rates are calculated based on the number of items in the order.
• Weight-based: Shipping rates are calculated based on the total weight of the order.
• Flat rate: A fixed shipping fee is charged per order, regardless of quantity or weight.

Rate model option	Weight-based	Quantity-based	Flat rate

Shipping Rules and Notifications

• Contiguous Ranges: Shipping fee ranges must be continuous (e.g., 0–10, 10–20) and follow the rule: “greater than the lower bound” and “less than or equal to the upper bound.”

For example, a 0–5 range applies to order counts >0 and ≤5, so the next range must start above 5 to ensure accurate fee calculation at checkout.

• Recommended Shipping Fee: To enhance the shopper experience and boost your shop’s conversion rate, TikTok Shop recommends setting a flat shipping rate that aligns with shoppers’ expectations of reasonable costs. The recommended shipping rate is the optimal rate suggested by TikTok Shop. Setting a shipping rate higher than the recommended amount can impact your products' visibility in search results and Shop Tab and reduce the traffic to your products and shop.

Recommended Shipping Fee Input	Recommendation: Use Flat Rate shipping, as complex multi-tiered shipping structures may create friction during the checkout process and increase the risk of cart abandonment.

Shipping Fee Restriction

• New Shipping Template Restrictions: When editing or creating a new shipping template, if the shipping fee exceeds TikTok Shop's allowed range, based on public carrier rates, reasonable handling costs, and shopper perception, you will not be able to save the template. If you believe your fee is justified, please explain and provide supporting documents by going to Help Center > Create Ticket > New Ticket.

• Existing Excessive Shipping Fees: If the system detects shipping fees beyond the TikTok Shop's allowed threshold, a 7-day warning will be issued. If no adjustments are made within 7 days, all products linked to the affected warehouse will be deactivated. To appeal, go to Help Center > Create Ticket > New Ticket, and submit relevant supporting documentation.

On the shipping template list page, we have implemented a notification that aggregates and calls out all problematic shipping templates.

Unassigned Areas

Product will be undeliverable within unassigned areas. Please Note:

• Each area/state can only exist in one region.
• If an area/state was assigned to one region, then it cannot be selected in other regions. It can be selected unless it is removed from the previous region group.
• If this area/state doesn't belong to any region, it will appear in the "Unassigned Areas:". Product will be undeliverable for unassigned areas/states.
• After completing the shipping template, please click Submit.
• If a warehouse is not associated with any shipping template, a notification will be triggered to highlight the warehouse name and indicate that no shipping template has been assigned.

PO Box Exclusion for Seller Shipping

US self shipping domestic sellers and sellers from China are able to set up PO Box Exclusion in their shipping template if they do not prefer shipping to US PO Boxes.

Set up PO Box Exclusion in Shipping Template

US self-shipping sellers are able to check/uncheck PO Box in the shipping template. This is at the Shipping Template Region level.
If a seller chooses not to ship to a PO box, they can uncheck the POX box field. Then they will not be given orders where the buyer shipping address is a PO Box. The PO Box field will be checked by default.
Sellers will also see a "Street" Address Type checkbox. This Address Type will always be checked and sellers cannot uncheck or disable it.
The new PO Box Address Type will be added to the Shipping and delivery settings page. If the PO box check box is selected, then "PO Box" will be visible on this page. If it is not checked, then it will not be visible here.
Address Type Street will always be visible here as it cannot be unchecked/disabled by sellers.
