What happened?
In “Product Pulse” published on October 10, TikTok Shop UK introduced an upgrade to Shoppable Carousel. Sellers can upload at least two images and link products to swipeable shopping carousel content without specifically producing a video. The platform recommends approximately 5 to 7 images, which can be used to test new products, repackage bestsellers, or reduce content production costs. Following the update, sellers can set a separate commission rate for Carousel, and creators can view the commission on the product details page. Eligible returnable sample orders generated through Carousel can also be included in sample reimbursement-related statistics. The change primarily affects cross-border brand sellers, lightweight content teams, and sellers relying on creator distribution in the UK. Sellers need to recalculate commissions, sample costs, and conversion rates for different content formats.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
TikTok Shop UK’s Shoppable Carousel lets sellers link products to image carousels, reducing some content production costs, and provides separate commission settings for creators. Sellers should not directly apply short-video commission rules; they also need to calculate commissions, sample costs, and conversion rates for image content.
