How to manage your cash flow when selling via TikTok Shop?

9/9/25

TikTok Shop is attracting more and more online retailers in 2025 thanks to its ability to transform viral videos into instant sales. But while this channel is promising, it also poses a major challenge: cash management.
Between payment terms, commissions and advertising costs, how can you ensure that your business remains profitable and well managed?


The cash flow challenges associated with TikTok Shop

1. Payment terms

TikTok Shop has deadlines for returning funds to sellers. The result: you are cashing in your sales with a delay, which can create cash flow tension.

2. Commissions and fees

Between TikTok commissions and advertising costs (TikTok Ads), the net margin can melt quickly if it is not anticipated.

3. Sales volatility

Success on TikTok depends on how viral the videos are. Sales can explode one day and fall the next day → it's difficult to forecast flows.

4. The lack of global visibility

Many e-retailers are multiplying channels (Shopify, PrestaShop, marketplaces) without a consolidated vision of their cash flow.


Best practices for managing cash on TikTok Shop

1. Follow your daily flows

Don't limit yourself to TikTok Shop reports. You have to combine sales, advertising costs and expenses to have a clear vision.

2. Calculate your real margin

Always take into account:

3. Anticipate payment delays

Establish sufficient working capital to absorb the time between the sale and the payment of funds.

4. Diversifying your sales channels

Don't rely solely on TikTok Shop. Having a Shopify or PrestaShop store allows you to balance your cash flow.

5. Centralize financial management

A cockpit allows you to cross sales, fees and payments to better manage your cash flow.
