How to read the comparison
Each slip applies that platform's standard fees to the same order. It uses the default rates, or your own rates if you saved them on the Shopee, Lazada or TikTok Shop calculator. Optional programs are left out so you compare base costs fairly.
For the most accurate result, save your real category rates on each calculator first. A 2% difference in commission can flip which platform wins.
Lazada often looks cheapest at first. Our Lazada defaults don't include any free-shipping or campaign program fee, while Shopee and TikTok Shop have a shipping-related fee built in. If you're in a Lazada shipping program, add it on the Lazada calculator and save, then come back.
Fees aren't the whole story
The platform that keeps the most per order isn't always the one that earns you the most per month. Before moving your stock around, weigh these too:
- Sales volume. ₱20 less per order on a platform that sells three times as many units is still more money.
- Where your buyers already are. TikTok Shop sells through video and live, Shopee and Lazada through search. The right fit depends on how your product is discovered.
- Returns and cancellations. A platform with higher return rates for your category quietly costs you more.
- Ads. Add your typical ad spend per order on each platform's calculator. Paid visibility can cancel out a fee advantage.
Most sellers do best listing on all three and setting a slightly different price on each, so every channel hits the same margin. The selling price calculator shows the price you need on each platform for one target margin.
Frequently asked questions
Which has the lowest fees: Shopee, Lazada or TikTok Shop?
With default rates and no optional programs, Lazada usually shows the lowest fees, then TikTok Shop, then Shopee. Your result depends on your category's commission and the programs you join, so save your real rates for an accurate answer.
Should I charge the same price on every platform?
Not necessarily. Many sellers set slightly different prices so each platform reaches the same profit margin after its own fees.
Why is the platform with the best payout not always the best choice?
Because volume, ad costs and return rates differ by platform. A lower payout per order on a platform that sells far more can still earn more each month.
