Outreach Tier Calculator
How many products do you need to sample to hit your review goal and the $2,000 GMV threshold that unlocks TikTok Shop's 7,000-creator outreach tier?
Your Product & Goals
Seed enough units to hit your review goal, then see whether that also clears the $2,000 GMV tier.
What the creator pays at checkout - reimbursed with the product price.
Optional cash bonus paid to the creator on top of the reimbursement. Speeds up sampling for low-interest products. Leave at $0 to skip.
What one unit costs you to make or buy (COGS).
Share of seeded units that leave a review. Plan conservatively (~40%) or use your shop's actual rate - most campaigns land between 40-95%.
TikTok's referral fee on each sale (typically ~6%).
$15 Sparq fee per sampled unit (Free plan pricing)
Your Sampling Plan
Products to Sample
100
50 reviews ÷ 50% completion - and this volume already clears the $2,000 GMV tier.
Every sampled unit is a real TikTok Shop purchase at full price, so all of it counts toward the $2,000 threshold.
Fund to your Sparq wallet
$5,688.65
$3,917.76 of this is reimbursement for what the creators buy. The product + shipping comes back to you as real TikTok Shop sales ($3,288.12 after TikTok's 6% commission), so that part is a breakeven you're only fronting. The ~12% sales-tax buffer is held to make creators whole at checkout and any unused portion is returned to your wallet. Your true out-of-pocket after sales is about $3,200.53.
