QAs a merchant, what do I need to care about?
Nine dimensions merchants should review before joining:
Merchant snapshot
I-social/live commerce ekhula ngokushesha kakhulu e-US (2025 +68%), kufanelekile kubathengisi bezimonyo nezingubo abanensiza yokuqukethwe/abathonya (influencers); ukungaqiniseki kwenqubomgomo nokulawulwa kobungozi kuphezulu, kudingeka ukusebenza okuqinile.
Entry requirements
Ukujoyina esifundeni sase-US kudinga inkampani (inkampani yase-US noma umthengisi owela imingcele ohambisana nezimfanelo) + ilayisensi yebhizinisi/ulwazi lwentela, ngo-2025 ukulawulwa kobungozi kwaqina, kwenziwa imizuliswano eminingi yokuvalwa kwezitolo nokuhlolwa kwesibili (i-bianews ibika ukuthi amakhulu ezitolo zaseShayina avalwa); isibambiso sakhushulwa saba ngu-$1,500 (esifundeni sase-US, 2025, na_platforms.md). Kudingeka amandla okukhiqiza okuqukethwe (amavidiyo amafushane/ukusakaza bukhoma) noma izinsiza ze-affiliate (umfelandawonye wabathonya); ukuwela izifunda: iSoutheast Asia iyimakethe evuthiwe kakhulu (ngemuva komthetho wase-Indonesia wango-2023, kwathengwa cishe u-75% we-Tokopedia nge-$1.5B ukuze kuhlanganiswe ukusebenza).
Fee structure
Ikhomishini (referral fee) esifundeni sase-US emikhakheni eminingi ngu-6%, ubucwebe (amadayimane/igolide/ijade njll.) kusukela ngo-2024.10.31 kwehliselwe ku-5%, izinto ezisetshenzisiwe ngu-5% (ingxenye engaphezu kuka-$10K ngu-3%, kuqoqwe yi-m2ecloud); kuhlanganiswa nemali yokucubungula izinkokhelo; isibambiso ngu-$1,500. Kunezinsolo zokukhushulwa kwamanani ngo-2025–26 (Ecommerce Times), ngokohlelo lwemali olusemthethweni lwakamuva.
Getting traffic
Ukuthola amakhasimende ngethrafikhi yokuqukethwe: ukudonsa izithakazelo ngamavidiyo amafushane/ukusakaza bukhoma + izhalofu zesitolo + ukusabalalisa kwe-affiliate, izindleko zokuthola amakhasimende ziphansi kunezikhangiso zendabuko; i-GMV yase-US ngo-2025 yaba ngu-$15.1B (+68%), cishe ngo-18–20% we-social commerce yase-US (eMarketer), umphumela we-halo udonsela ekuthengeni ngaphandle kwenkundla. Ngo-2026 kulindeleke abathengi base-US abacishe babe yizigidi ezingama-57.7 (eMarketer); i-GMV yaseSoutheast Asia ngu-$45.6B (cishe iphindwe kabili).
Fulfilment & logistics
Umthengisi uyazithumela noma asebenzise izokuthutha zenkundla (TikTok Shipping); i-FBT (Fulfilled by TikTok) inikeza ukugcwaliseka ngesitoko endaweni yokugcina yase-US; abathengisi abawela imingcele bangathumela ngqo noma basebenzise indawo yokugcina phesheya; iSoutheast Asia isivele yasungula izokuthutha zendawo + ukugcwaliseka okuhlanganisiwe ne-Tokopedia. Isikhathi nokugcwaliseka kwe-SLA kulawulwa yimithetho yenkundla, ukubambezeleka kuthinta isisindo sethrafikhi.
Payments & settlement
Inkundla iqoqa imali ndawonye (esifundeni sase-US ikhokhelwa ngamadola), umthengisi ubopha ikhadi lasebhange noma ukuthola imali kwenkampani yangaphandle (Payoneer njll.); umjikelezo wokukhokhelwa unguya ngenqubomgomo yenkundla; ikhomishini nezindleko ezihlobene zikhishwa emalini yokuthengiswayo; ngaphansi komthetho we-refund-only (ukubuyiselwa kwemali kuphela), ukubuyiselwa kwemali komthengi kukhishwa ngqo emalini/isibambiso somthengisi, kucindezela ukuhamba kwemali.
Compliance
Inkinga yobunikazi esifundeni sase-US: ngo-2026.1 i-ByteDance yavumelana nokuhlukaniswa nohlangothi lwase-US (amasheya amaningi esifunda sase-US athengiselwa iqoqo lezimali lase-US), ukusetshenziswa kokuthengiselana, ukuphepha kwedatha/algorithm nemithetho ezayo kusenokungaqiniseki (UPI); kudingeka kuthotyelwe imithetho yokuqukethwe nezimpahla yenkundla (ukungena kwezigaba, ukuthobela i-FDA kwezimonyo njll.); ukulawulwa kobungozi/ukuhlolwa kwesibili kubathengisi kuqinile; uma kunwebeka eYurophu kudingeka kuhlangatshezwane ne-DSA/GPSR.
Key risks
1) Ukusetshenziswa kokuthengiselana kokuhlukaniswa esifundeni sase-US akunasiqinisekiso (umthetho we-Congress, imiphumela yemiyalo yokuvala yezifundazwe); 2) i-ecosystem yabathengisi inzima: izinsolo zokuvalwa kwezitolo eziningi/ukuqandiswa kwemali ngo-2025, isibambiso sakhushulwa saba ngu-$1,500; 3) umthetho we-refund-only + izinga eliphezulu lokubuyiswa kwempahla kucindezela inzuzo (TT123); 4) i-Amazon/YouTube zilandela ukuthenga ngamavidiyo amafushane zidonsela ithrafikhi, umncintiswano we-social commerce uyaqina futhi ukulawulwa kwenkundla (izimpahla zomgunyathi/insiza yangemva kokuthenga) kuthinta ukwethenjwa kwabathengi.
Best-fit sellers
Kufanelekile kubathengisi bezimonyo, izingubo, ukunakekelwa komzimba, izinto zasekhaya nezigaba ezincane ezisha abanamandla okudala okuqukethwe/abathonya, abakwazi ukuvivinya imikhiqizo edumile ngokushesha nokwamukela ukuguqulwa kokusakaza bukhoma; imikhiqizo emincane naphakathi ingaqala ngezindleko eziphansi ngohlelo lwe-affiliate. Akufanelekile kubathengisi abangenamandla okuqukethwe, abacabanga ngesitolo kuphela, kanye nezigaba ezinenzuzo encane ezingakwazi ukuthwala ubungozi bokubuyiselwa kwemali.
