Read previewTikTok is making it harder to get free shipping on its e-commerce platform, Shop.
The threshold for free shipping will remain at $5 for first-time buyers.
TikTok's updated guidance notes that free shipping does not apply when it determines the shipping costs exceed "fair market price."
TikTok acknowledged in its documentation that its free shipping subsidies may not last forever.
Michael Herling, a merchant who sells hats on TikTok Shop, described the planned fee increases as a "real downer."
