Note:
  1. You must register ALL SKUs within a product for extra discounts in order to unlock associated benefits. Applying extra discounts for a partial subset of SKUs within a PID is not allowed.
  2. If you don't want to add an extra discount for your products, please leave in BLANK. You will not be able to submit by adding 0% discount or discount lower than minimum threshold.
    image

When registering products in bulk, you may encounter an error message listing all products with issues. To address this, use the "Only display ineligible products" filter.

Step 9: How to resolve SKU errors

If you need to edit your product's retail prices or add, delete, or edit a SKU while it is registered to a campaign, you can do so in "Managed Products". Editing a SKU in "Managed Products" will disrupt the campaign sales price system and trigger a SKU error. This means your Product ID (PID) cannot participate in the campaign. To resolve this, you must withdraw the product and re-register it before the campaign deadline.
The following edits are supported while your product is registered for a campaign:
  • Retail price
  • Deleting SKUs
  • Adding SKUs
  • Editing SKUs
Unsupported edits, which are still not allowed during campaign registration, include changes to the PDP Category.
If you add or remove a SKU variation in Manage Products, you will see an alert on the sub-campaign page that says "⚠️ Need to re-register". This means you must withdraw the PID and register it before the deadline. Click "Need to re-register".
image
A drawer will pop up with guidance to re-register your product. A message will state: "Changes to the SKU variation caused an issue with the campaign sale price. Re-register the product now!". Click "Re-register".
image
You will then be prompted to set a "Campaign sales price" (and possibly "Campaign reserved stock"). Click "Submit" to re-register. This will fix the SKU error.
image
image
Your product needs to be re-reviewed to participate in the campaign.

Step 10: TikTok Shop invited products

TikTok Shop may invite your products to join specific campaigns. When this happens, you’ll see a notification in the Recommendations section under Campaign tasks
image
When you click the Invitations section, it opens a page showing all the invitations available to you, along with the details for each one
image
Under the Recommended products tab on the sub-campaign details page, you’ll see the products that have been invited. You can register a product with one click using Register, or register several at once using Bulk register
image
When using online bulk registration, you can quickly filter just your invited products. If you select Use max campaign price, the system will automatically apply the pre-filled campaign price configured by the platform, saving you time on manual setup
image
You can now register invited products using the Upload file option. Select the pre-filled template for unregistered invited products to download a file with all your invited items, update anything you wish, and upload it to finish registration quickly.
Note: The template contains a maximum of 50,000 invited products that are still unregistered.

Campaign Fees Q&A

Q: What are campaign service fees?A: Campaign service fees are charges applied to eligible product campaigns. These fees are incurred for each order placed during the campaign period. You can find detailed information on the applicable fees and effective periods in the "Fee Policy" section of the campaign details page.
Q: How is campaign service fee being calculated?A: The Service Fee Rate × (Campaign Gross Sales - Seller Discount + Customer-Paid Shipping Fee)
Example: Order with one product joining a campaign
  • Original Price: $100
    • Seller Discount: $10
    • Platform Discount: $20
  • Shipping Fee (paid by customer): $5
Original item price$100
(–) Seller Discount$10
Seller Price after Seller Discount (effective during campaign)$90
Campaign Service Fee Rate1%
Campaign Service Fee = Fee Rate × (Seller Price after Seller Discount + Customer-Paid Shipping Fee)1%x ($90 + $5) = $0.95
Q: Can I withdraw from a product campaign with a campaign fee? A: Yes. Once your withdrawal is approved, the status will change to "Expired." Campaign fees will only apply to orders placed before your withdrawal is finalized.
Q: How can I check the earnings and fees for each order?A: You can view detailed information by navigating to Seller Center > Finance > Settled Records and then clicking "View details".
Q: Are campaign fees refundable if I withdraw from a campaign?A: No, campaign fees applied to orders placed before your withdrawal is approved are non-refundable. However, you will not be charged campaign fees for any orders placed after the withdrawal process is completed.
Q: What happens if a customer cancels or returns an order?A: In the event of an order cancellation or return, campaign fees for those specific orders will not be charged. If a fee has already been charged, it may be refunded depending on the specific campaign's refund policy.
Q: Will I be charged multiple times if a product is in several campaigns?A: No. If you participate in multiple campaigns that all have a service fee, the fee will only be charged once per order. The fee will be based on the campaign price of the applicable campaign.

Standard Registrations FAQs

Q: How is the cost of co-funded coupons with a percentage discount split?A: The cost is split based on the agreed-upon contribution ratio.
Example: Contribution Ratio: 50% Seller, 50% Platform. Coupon Policy: 20% off on orders of $100 or more, with a maximum discount of $50.
Scenario 1: Discount Does Not Exceed the Maximum
Order Value: $100
Total Discount: $100 * 20% = $20
Your Contribution: $20 * 50% = $10
Platform's Contribution: $20 * 50% = $10
Scenario 2: Discount Exceeds the Maximum
Order Value: $300
Calculated Discount: $300 * 20% = $60
Applied Discount (Max): $50
Your Contribution: $50 * 50% = $25
Platform's Contribution: $50 * 50% = $25
Q: How can I check my contribution for co-funded coupons?A: You are not charged upfront. Your contribution is deducted from the final payout of an order. You can see a detailed breakdown of your contribution on the Order Details Page, where promotions are itemized into seller promotions and platform promotions. Your registered campaign price is also factored into this calculation.
Example: Coupon: $10 off a $100 purchase. Contribution Ratio: 50% Seller, 50% Platform
Customer Pays: $100 - $10 (coupon) = $90
Your Payout: The platform receives $90 from the customer and pays you $95. The $5 difference from your full product price ($100) is your contribution to the discount.
