Setting up Shipping

Summary

What is the purpose and key functionality of the new Shipping Settings page on TikTok Shop?

  • It consolidates all free shipping settings—store-wide policies, targeted promotions, and co-funded free shipping—into one interface, simplifying setup and management while providing data-driven insights to optimize costs and boost GMV.
  • Sellers can access it via Seller Center > Orders > Free Shipping to manage and analyze shipping strategies efficiently.

How can sellers create and manage targeted free shipping promotions, and what tools support product-level shipping decisions?

  • Sellers can create product-specific or time-limited free shipping promotions via the Targeted Free Shipping Promotions tab or Marketing > Promotions, enabling precise buyer engagement strategies.
  • The Product-Level Free Shipping Management Tool allows toggling free shipping per product, reviewing status, and making flexible adjustments without affecting store-wide rules.

What role do Smart Product Recommendations play in optimizing free shipping, and how can sellers apply these recommendations?

  • TikTok Shop automatically suggests products that could benefit most from free shipping based on real-time sales data, highlighting potential GMV uplift.
  • Sellers can bulk apply free shipping to recommended products with one click from the Overview tab, streamlining promotional efforts and maximizing conversion potential.

How can sellers configure store-wide free shipping settings, including thresholds and co-funded free shipping (CFFS), and what are the limitations?

  • Opting in or out of CFFS and previewing estimated GMV uplift before saving allows informed decision-making on store-wide free shipping policies.

What are the key insights and performance metrics available to sellers for monitoring free shipping effectiveness?

  • The Overview tab provides real-time analytics on free shipping order percentage, GMV penetration, total subsidies received, and conversion rate uplifts, enabling data-driven optimization of shipping strategies.
