TikTok Shop fees in France: the 2026 calculator
France’s TikTok Shop demand skews toward fashion and beauty — categories with the highest return rates on the platform. At a 15% return rate, refund administration and return handling become a real margin line, not a rounding error.
You set this rate for creators. Typical range is 8–25%; on affiliate-driven sales it's often the single biggest cost line.

Refunded orders cost you a refund administration fee (20% of the referral fee, capped at 5 €/SKU) plus ~2,60 € FBT return handling.
Below this item price you lose money on every order at current costs.

The French fee stack in 2026
9% referral fee (7% select electronics) plus ~2.9% + €0.30 processing per order. On a €25 fashion item that is €2.25 + €1.03 — €3.28 to TikTok before affiliate commission.
Model your returns honestly
Refunded orders cost 20% of the original referral fee (capped at €5/SKU) plus return handling on fulfilled orders. Fashion sellers should model 12–18% return rates — the calculator’s return slider turns that into an expected cost per order.
The January 2026 repricing
The referral fee doubled from 5% to 9% across EU5 in January 2026. French sellers who priced at launch rates lost roughly 4 points of margin overnight — the reverse-pricing mode shows your new minimum price.
