What happened?

The report also cited data showing that U.S. consumers spent approximately $15.8 billion on TikTok Shop in 2025, while livestream shopping conversion was approximately 10%. E.l.f.’s case shows how brands can combine product demonstrations, real-time interaction and concentrated product launches, bringing content release and product sales together in the same event.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
TikTok Shop livestreams have shifted from simply presenting content to serving as sales occasions for product launches and concentrated transactions. A common mistake is to treat a livestream as a one-off traffic-buying effort without product demonstrations, host coordination and a review process, making it easier to fall behind during the conversion window. Highest priority: this week, run a short livestream centered on one featured product and record changes in views, clicks and transactions.
