How we source this data

Every report on this page is triangulated from three inputs: TikTok's official reporting (seller-center disclosures, quarterly updates, category-level fee schedules), third-party research from firms tracking social commerce, and aggregated telemetry from the TikTok Shop merchants using Dashboardly to track real-time P&L. When sources conflict, we flag it. When the data is limited, we say so.

Updated every month as TikTok publishes new disclosures and our merchant panel grows. Bookmark the page — or connect your shop and let Dashboardly benchmark you against these numbers automatically, every time your dashboard loads.
