Growth Reinvestment Program

From 29th April, 2026, TikTok Shop will introduce the Growth Reinvestment Program. This program aims to support sellers' growth via simplified LIVE GMV Max and Product GMV Max experiences. GMV Max provides assurance for guaranteed growth with ROI Protection and most sellers have benefitted from its consistent track record of driving 3.5x median GMV uplift.

What is the Growth Reinvestment Program ?

To simplify sellers experiences and support seller growth with the optimised exposure and sales generated through GMV Max, TikTok Shop is introducing the Growth Reinvestment Program. Sellers in the program will have 2% of their GMV directly reinvested into their advertising accounts. An automatic GMV Max Campaign will be created based on these credits, promoting products and LIVE from the shop.
The 2% GMV converted into ad investment is calculated on the basis of item price minus seller discount.
GMV converted into ad investment = (item price - seller discount) * 2%Note: once sellers are in the program, all previously created GMV Max Campaign will be paused, and the 2% GMV-converted ads credits will be spent on the newly created, automatic GMV Max Campaign.

FAQ

1. What is GMV Max?

GMV Max is a TikTok Shop Advertising Automation solution that optimizes for a seller’s total channel ROI for TikTok Shop. GMV Max is a highly innovative, first-of-its-kind solution that primarily differentiates itself via two unique features:

• GMV Max leverages all available creatives automatically and deploys them in form of a "super campaign", which does not require any operational inputs from the advertiser.
• GMV Max optimizes organic delivery in addition to paid ad traffic, providing advertisers with incremental GMV that would not otherwise be attainable without Product GMV max.

Learn more about Product GMV Max here and LIVE GMV Max here.

2. When a seller's daily GMV in the last 30 days surpasses USD 500 and ad take rate below 2%, the seller will be automatically enrolled. If the daily GMV drops below USD 500, will the seller be automatically disenrolled?

Yes. If a seller's daily GMV in the last 30-day consideration period drops below USD 500, the seller will be automatically disenrolled in the next cycle on the 15th of the following month. The automatic GMV Max campaign will be paused, and the seller may choose to resume their previous manually created campaigns.

3. What is GMV Max ROI protection?

You may be eligible for ROI protection if your GMV Max campaign meets the following criteria:

• The ROI of your campaign falls below 90% of the daily target ROI.
• Your campaign has more than 20 daily orders.

The following conditions are ineligible for ROI protection:

• Live GMV Max campaigns: If you manually adjust the Target ROI for your Live GMV Max campaign more than 2 times, ROI protection will not apply to the day you made the change.
• Product GMV Max campaigns: If you manually adjust the Target ROI for your Product GMV Max campaign, ROI protection will not apply to the day you made the change.
• If ROI target change is automatially made by the system due to Mega Live or Promotion Day activation, then it is not counted as manual ROI target modification.
• If campaign moves to "promotion days" or "Mega LIVE" with a different ROI, then the new ROI would be the ROI we guarantee on that specific day.
• If you pause or delete your GMV Max campaign, ROI protection will not apply to the day you made the change.
• GMV Max campaigns with products or liverooms using Max delivery.
• Creative boost budgets.
• If your shop, ad account or ads are suspended or stopped for any reason, including but not limited to insufficient account balance, ads or products being rejected, or policy violations.
• For LIVE viewer boost, ROI protection will not cover boost budget.
• ROI protection won't cover the days when campaign products are edited.

GMV Max prioritizes ROI achievement on a daily basis, so you may experience fluctuations in ROI throughout the day. Ensure that GMV Max runs for at least a full day to maximize the benefits of ROI protection (ROI protection will cover the day when campaigns are newly created if the campaigns meet the above conditions, even though they have not run for entirely 24 hours).
Note: Any ad credit issued to you is subject to the TikTok Ad Credit Terms. TikTok reserves the right to revoke the ad credit if we detect any unusual behavior, fraud, or violations of the TikTok Commercial Terms of Service, TikTok for Business Advertising Terms, TikTok's Advertising Policies, TikTok Community Guidelines, and other applicable terms and policies.

4. If a seller is enrolled, can the seller run both the automatic campaign and manual campaigns at the same time?

No. All sellers in the program will have manual campaigns paused. Only the automatic campaign will be running for all products and all LIVEs from the shop.

5. If the automatic campaign is not effective, can a seller turn it off?

The automatic campaign will be optimized automatically, and extra traffic will be allocated to high-performing products and LIVEs.
If a seller wishes to turn off the automatic campaign, the seller may choose to opt out of the program. Please contact the Account Manager or raise a ticket to the Help Center, providing the following information:

• Shop name
• Shop code
• Reason why seller would like to opt out

The opt-out request will be handled within 15 business days.
The first enrollment will start at 00:00, 29th April, 2026, Malaysia time (GMT+8). If sellers wish to op out of the first enrollment, please contact the Account Manager or raise the Help Center ticket the latest by 26th April, 2026.

6. Is the 2% GMV considered a platform fee and is it subject to taxes?

Yes. The conversion of 2% GMV into ad investment is considered a platform fee, and is subject to 8% SST. However, it will not be platform's revenue, but is directly invested in and spent on GMV Max to boost traffic for all products and LIVEs of the shop.

• Traditionally, sellers can choose to use their GMV to top up ads credits before investing in these ads credits on GMV Max. This kind of payment is subject to 8% Digital Service Tax. Please refer to section 4.1.2 of this article for details of the tax treatment on ad payment.
• By being in this program, sellers can skip the ads credits top-up step and have their GMV directly spent on an active GMV Max Campaign. Additionally, as this amount is treated as a platform fee, it is subject to 8% SST, instead of the 8% DST like other ad payment method.
