What is Strike-through Price

Strike-through pricing enhances perceived value by displaying discounted prices. This contrast highlights savings, builds trust, and drives conversions, making it a powerful tool for TikTok Shop sellers to promote their products effectively. TikTok may use Retail Price, List Price, or other sources as references for your strikethrough price.
TikTok is committed to providing clear and accurate pricing information. Discounts are primarily calculated based on validated prices, a common retail practice. These prices are verified using TTS's pricing data or prices offered by other retailers to ensure accuracy, prevent inflated discount claims, and uphold fair pricing standards for buyers.
Strike-through pricing is not guaranteed and may be removed if misleading pricing is detected, such as a list price that does not align with the product’s historical selling price. Sellers should ensure their retail and list prices accurately reflect the item's true market value.

What is List Price

The List Price (also known as the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price, or MSRP) is the suggested retail price of a product as provided by a manufacturer, supplier, or seller. List Price is one of the verified price sources that TikTok may use to showcase savings to customers.
Strike-through prices appear in multiple locations, such as product detail pages and search results, to highlight discounts for customers.
List Price Guidelines:

Sellers are responsible for maintaining accurate and up-to-date prices that genuinely reflect the true retail value of their products.
If TikTok cannot verify the submitted List Price, it will not be used.
If no List Price is provided, TikTok will validate only the Retail Price as a reference.

To submit a List Price, go to Seller Center > Manage Product.

Shopify Sellers

Starting (02/20), select sellers have early access to the strikethrough pricing integration with Shopify. TikTok for Shopify now provides support for syncing compare-at and sales prices to enable visual markdowns, known as strikethrough pricing. Find out how it works and your options in this guide.

FAQ

Why doesn’t my product discount show a strike-through pricing after I set it up?

For newly listed products without any sales history, if TikTok cannot verify the provided retail or list price, strike-through pricing may not be displayed initially. Once the product generates sales that align with the retail or list price, the strike-through pricing may appear.
For products with a sales history, strike-through pricing may not be shown to customers if potential misleading marketing is detected with the seller's retail/list price. This is caused by the seller setting a price that does not align with the historical price paid for that item. Sellers are advised to review and adjust their retail/list prices to ensure they reflect the true retail value of the item.

Key terms:
- Retail price – The price that normally a seller would want to sell on TikTok
- List price – The suggested retail price of a product as provided by a manufacturer, supplier, or seller.
- Strike-through pricing – A pricing strategy that compares a reference price to a promotional price.
- Deal price – The discounted price at which a seller offers a product.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, you'll be able to:

Explain what TikTok Shop Campaigns are and how they help your business grow
Identify the main types of campaigns and choose the ones that fit your goals
Register your products and content for campaigns in Seller Center step by step
Use performance data to get more out of every campaign

TikTok Shop Campaigns are the platform-wide shopping moments and themed events that TikTok Shop runs throughout the year, from major sales like Black Friday to seasonal and category-focused events. They give your products a chance to be featured on high-traffic pages and discovery surfaces alongside other sellers, often with added promotional support.
For you, campaigns are one of the fastest ways to reach shoppers who are already in a buying mindset. When you join the right campaign at the right time, you can boost visibility, drive a spike in sales, gain new followers, and build long-term brand recognition.
In this article, you'll learn what campaigns are, why they matter, the main types available to you, how to register step by step, and how to measure and improve your results.

What Are TikTok Shop Campaigns?

TikTok Shop Campaigns are more than a marketing tactic- they're your gateway to connecting with TikTok's highly engaged shopping community. Each campaign is built around a specific theme or shopping moment, such as a major sale, a season, or a product category, and gives participating sellers access to dedicated campaign pages, promotional labels, and extra exposure inside the app.
When you join a campaign, your products and shoppable content can appear alongside curated deals and trending items during periods when shoppers are actively looking to buy. This lets you showcase your products through multiple creative touchpoints while driving real growth in revenue and brand awareness.

Why Use TikTok Shop Campaigns?

Campaigns concentrate shopper attention into specific windows, which means more eyes on your products and more chances to convert. They also come with platform support-such as coupons, dedicated channels, and post-campaign rewards-that you don't get from everyday selling. Here's what campaigns can do for your business:
Takeaway: Campaigns give you discounts, dedicated placement, and creator-driven reach all at once-use them to turn high-traffic moments into new customers and repeat followers.

Types of Campaigns

TikTok Shop campaigns include four main types: Platform Campaign, Category Campaign, Brand Campaign, and Weekly Deals & Trendy Finds. Each type is built around a different shopping moment, seller objective, and promotion cadence. Use the overview below to understand what each one is designed to do.

Campaign type	Purpose	Example
Platform Campaign	Platform-wide promotion covering key sales holidays, seasonal events, gifting occasions, and thematic moments.	Black Friday & Cyber Monday
Category Campaign	Focus on category shopping moments designed to activate shopper intent outside of platform campaigns.	New York Fashion Week & Life in Full Glow
Brand Campaign	Capture key brand moments such as new arrivals, store openings, and ambassador announcements.	Crocs Super Brand Day
Weekly Deals & Trendy Finds	A recurring promotional program, running every Wednesday to Sunday outside of platform campaigns, designed to help sellers drive consistent sales growth and increase product exposure.	Weekly Deals & Love at First Find

Takeaway: Choose the campaign type that best matches your business goal:

Platform Campaigns for major shopping moments
Category Campaigns for category-driven demand
Brand Campaigns for brand milestones
Weekly Deals & Trendy Finds for recurring sales growth and exposure

How to Register for Campaigns

Registering for a campaign follows the same basic flow every time: plan your timing, prepare your products, and submit your registration in Seller Center. Follow the three steps below.

Step 1: Plan Around Key Moments

Great campaign results start with timing. Campaigns revolve around key moments-like holiday sales and seasonal events-so plan backward from those dates.

Build your calendar around key shopping moments, such as holiday and seasonal sales.
Start early and meet every submission deadline to maximize visibility-popular campaigns can fill up or close before the event begins.
Use the Campaign calendar in Seller Center to see upcoming campaigns and plan ahead.

Step 2: Get Your Products Ready and Register in Seller Center

Before you register, make sure your shop and products are campaign-ready. Campaign enrollment depends on meeting shop and product quality thresholds, so confirm your shop has a strong Shop Performance Score, healthy fulfillment metrics, no visibility limits, no unpaid postage orders, complete product listings, competitive pricing, and enough inventory to handle a spike in demand. For details, review TikTok Shop's Campaign FAQs.
When you're ready, go to Seller Center → Marketing → Campaigns, then open the Register for campaigns tab to browse events that are open for registration.

Step 3: Choose Your Activation Type

Once you've found the right campaign type, such as a Platform Campaign, Category Campaign, Brand Campaign, or Weekly Deals & Trendy Finds, you'll choose how to participate. Available activation options may vary by campaign, but the two main activation types are Product Campaigns and Content Campaigns.

You can manage the products you registered on the campaign details page. Reviews can take 5-14 days on average.	Step 1: Select a type of content campaignKey LIVE, LIVE championship, Short video challenge.Step 2: Select the account and productsSelect a shop account or linked marketing account.Step 3: Submit for approvalReviews can take 5-14 days on average.

Content Campaigns come in a few formats. Choose the one that matches how you like to create and where you want extra exposure.

Content campaign type	What it is
Key LIVE	The headline events of a campaign, where TikTok Shop provides the most support and additional exposure. These shoppable LIVE videos are spotlighted on campaign channels.
LIVE Championship	Encourages sellers and creators to host shoppable LIVE videos with the campaign hashtag, rewarding the highest sales-generating LIVE sessions.
Short Video Challenge	Helps sellers and creators generate mass exposure by creating shoppable short video content around a unified campaign hashtag.

Campaign Service Fees

Some campaigns may include a campaign service fee. This is an extra fee that applies only when a registered product sells during an eligible campaign period. It does not apply to regular sales outside the campaign, and it is not charged just because you register a product.
Campaign service fees apply to products registered in eligible Standard Registration or Flash Sale campaigns. If your product sells during the campaign period, the fee is charged once per order based on the campaign's stated rate and calculation formula.
Before you submit, open the campaign details page in Seller Center and check the fee rate, formula, eligible products, and campaign period. This helps you understand the full cost of joining the campaign and plan your campaign price and margin more accurately.

Get the Most Out of Every Campaign

Registering is only the start. These best practices help you turn campaign traffic into sales and lasting followers.

Use multiple activations: Combine challenges, LIVEs, and product placements in the same campaign for greater impact and more touchpoints with shoppers.
Know your audience: Tailor your campaign products, pricing, and messaging to your audience's preferences and the campaign theme.
Plan your content strategically: Stay true to your brand while entertaining your viewers-shoppable content performs best when it feels native to TikTok.
Prepare inventory and pricing early: Lock in campaign pricing and confirm stock can handle a demand spike before the event starts, so you don't sell out or miss a discount requirement.
Bring in creators: Partner with creators to amplify your campaign content and reach audiences you couldn't on your own.

Measure and Improve Your Results

Treat every campaign as a learning opportunity. Reviewing your results helps you decide which campaigns, products, and activation types are worth repeating.
Track your registered campaigns under Seller Center → Marketing → Campaigns → Manage your campaigns, and use Seller Center → Analytics to dig into performance. Focus on the metrics below.

Metric	What it tells you
GMV	Total sales value generated during the campaign-your headline measure of campaign impact.
Items sold	The number of units moved, useful for judging demand and planning inventory next time.
Impressions	How many times your products were shown-an indicator of the extra visibility the campaign delivered.
Orders	The number of paid orders, helpful for comparing a campaign against your everyday baseline.
Conversion rate	The share of visitors who purchased-if it's low despite high traffic, revisit your pricing, images, and product details.

Takeaway: Compare each campaign's results to your normal sales baseline. Double down on the campaigns and activation types that deliver, and adjust products, pricing, or content where results fall short.
