We launch and scale TikTok Shop for European DTC brands — catalog, creator network, affiliate program, ads. Retainer plus a share of attributed GMV. Run by affiliate and performance operators, not a social team.
TikTok Shop looks like free reach. It isn't. Here is €100 of GMV walking down to what you actually keep — the walk most brands never model before they launch.
| From €100 of GMV | Amount | Running |
|---|---|---|
| Gross GMV | €100.00 | €100.00 |
| Platform commission · 6% (range 5–9%) | −€6.00 | €94.00 |
| Creator commission · 15% | −€15.00 | €79.00 |
| COGS · 25% | −€25.00 | €54.00 |
| Fulfilment & payment fees | −€6.25 | €47.75 |
| Paid amplification · 10% of GMV | −€10.00 | €37.75 |
| Returns provision · 8% | −€6.25 | €31.50 |
| Contribution margin | €31.50 | 31.5% |
Illustrative. €100 of GMV on a typical €40 product. You control every rate except TikTok's platform commission, which runs 5–9% by country and category.
That looks comfortable — until you fight for placement. Push creator commission to 30% to win the best partners and paid to 20% to scale, and this same product clears roughly €10. Add a return spike or a discounted promo and it's underwater. Nobody sets out to lose money here; they just never ran the line above. So we built you the tool to run it.
Set your real numbers. The break-even line is the maximum creator commission your unit can pay before it goes negative — the single number that decides whether TikTok Shop works for you.
Revly's operator has run affiliate and partner marketing at scale — recruiting and managing partner networks on attributed sales, the exact discipline TikTok Shop requires. Brand names anonymised by default.

Detailed references available under NDA on request.
TikTok Shop is an affiliate network with a checkout bolted on. Every part of it maps onto a discipline that already exists — one most social agencies have never run.
Most TikTok Shop agencies come from content, so they optimise for views. This is a performance channel and it should be run like one.
TikTok Shop is live in ten European markets today. These are the ones we launch and scale brands into.

Six phases, in order. What you get and roughly when — the plan a buyer is actually trying to evaluate. Timeframes are typical and confirmed in the proposal.
| # | Phase | What you get | When |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Shop setup & seller verification | Verified seller account, shop live in the target market | Week 1 |
| 02 | Catalog, compliance & category approval | Products listed and compliant, categories approved | Weeks 1–2 |
| 03 | Creator sourcing & seeding | Vetted creator shortlist, samples shipped and tracked | Weeks 2–4 |
| 04 | Affiliate program & commission structure | Open & targeted collaborations, commission tiers live | Weeks 3–4 |
| 05 | Content & paid amplification | Creator content live, paid behind proven winners | Weeks 4–6 |
| 06 | Live, promotions & scaling | Promo calendar, weekly optimisation, scaling report | Week 6+ ongoing |
Published on purpose. It filters enquiries that were never a fit, which is the point.
Retainer plus performance because the two phases pull in opposite directions: a pure percentage underpays the heavy setup phase, and a pure retainer stops caring once you're scaling. This aligns both.
This is a qualification form, not a calendar link. If it's a fit, we'll come back with specifics. If it isn't, we'll tell you plainly.
Thanks — we've got it. We review every application by hand and reply to qualified brands within 2 business days. If it's a fit, the next message from us includes a margin read on your product and the two or three markets we'd open first. If it isn't, we'll tell you why.
