Introduction: What is LIVE Price Match Guarantee?
During Deal for You Days from July 7 - July 19, 2025, TikTok Shop sellers who opt-in will be offering a LIVE Price Match Guarantee on specific campaign products registered for the Deal for You Days Co-funded LIVE Flash Sale Campaign. If a customer finds a lower price online, they can apply for a partial refund from the seller for up to 7 days after the campaign ends.Benefits of LIVE Price Match Guarantee:
- Builds trust and transparency: Buyers can feel more confident purchasing during LIVE sessions, knowing they’ll be refunded the price difference if a lower price is found within 7 days—either on TikTok, brand’s official store or competitor platforms (conditions apply). This increases conversion and reduces purchase hesitation.
- Boosts conversion in LIVE: The price match label, prominently displayed during flash sales across LIVE product cards, PDPs, and carts, drives urgency and reassures buyers they’re getting the best deal—leading to stronger purchase intent and improved seller sales performance.
- Streamlined refund process: If customers find a lower price, they can easily submit a request with proof. TikTok’s customer service handles verification and partial refunds, minimizing friction for both parties and reducing dispute risk.
- Promotes long-term loyalty: By protecting the buyer’s purchase price and highlighting trustworthy merchants, the program helps build a positive, reliable reputation for both sellers and TikTok LIVE overall.
