FAQs

When are reports updated?

After a customer places an order, it usually takes a few minutes for the order to appear on the affiliate orders page.（During major promotions, we may need more time to process orders, which may cause delays. This won't affect your earnings and settlement period.）

What are the different order statuses?

Customer Unpaid: the customer has placed an order successfully, but has not yet completed the payment. The transaction is not finalized, and the order is not yet valid for processing or commission.
Pending: The order is still processing. You can withdraw your commission once the order is delivered and settled. Delivery time may vary depending on the shipping status.
Settled: The order is complete, and you can withdraw your commission.
Ineligible: The order has been canceled or refunded. No commission will be earned from these orders.
Frozen: The order is subject to platform risk control. Please contact customer service for more details.

Why is the estimated commission different from the actual commission?

Orders may be returned or partially refunded. TikTok Shop calculates your actual commission using the following formula: Commission = (Revenue - Refunds) * Commission Rate
If an order is canceled or fully refunded before it is completed, you will not receive any commission. the corresponding reason is also displayed on the order details page.(Please keep in mind that customers have several days to return an item after receiving it. You can learn more by visiting our feature guide on affiliate commission.)

full return - no commission, orders ineligible

Partial return - parts of items still get commission
