@itsevolution54: We asked TikTok for two options to help solve this, let’s see if we can all push together and get this default setting changed and the placement of the toggled on refundable sample box moved up on the screen so it’s visible at check out #evolutionpro #evolutionagency #evolutioncommunity
As a brand, we 100% stand with creators on this! You drive the sales and deserve your hard-earned commission. The default refundable sample box needs to be fixed ASAP! 🙏

No more needsto be said. “They were excited about it.”They are not on the side of the creators.

Yup, I’ve been saying that they did this by design. The less money a brand spends paying commission the more budget they will have to pay tiktok directly for ad spend. It’s so grimy what they’re doing

Placement aside, the biggest issue is that the creator who converted the sale isn't getting the commission. That's the biggest issue. And returning the item negatively affects the brand which in turn affects our PPS score. The toggle needs to be REMOVED and we order refundable samples just like we did before all this BS

It’s even worse than that. I had to contact them a few weeks ago because I purchased a huge eyeshadow palette for a Bestie’s birthday coming up. There were only two left in stock. TikTok turned it into a refundable sample. I’m not even gonna have possession of the item and even if I did, it’s sold out within an hour of purchasing it so I would never have had the opportunity to try to sell it to meet the requirements and get the refund. They don’t even have a minimum in stock policy so that if they turn one of our purchases into a refundable sample, there should be enough in stock for us to receive the item and create content. They told me my only option was to return it. I’ve started shopping other places because of this and I’m a big spender.

Do you think eventually this will be corrected?

So TikTok is actually telling us to cancel the order? Even though food and makeup is immediately refunded with no way to reverse that?! That really off and odd that they want us to essentially take products from companies like that.

It’s not saving the brands money if the creator who purchases it is in the Tiktok shop and doesn’t even know it, is never gonna make a video, or doesn’t know how to make a video… so insane

How can you tell if you sold one that sold as a refundable sample? Can you see it somewhere?

Yes please because I have samples that I have no intention of making videos for. I literally purchased from someone’s live not knowing it could happen and now it’s in my sample que

This has happened to me about 5 times. I’ve started copying and pasting the product into Amazon and buying there to avoid this. Tell that to TT!

Allison Veer :
I don’t understand what’s happening so if anybody is in shop and they just go byproducts, they automatically turn it into a refundable sample even when you’re just trying to purchase it outright and don’t wanna make videos on it?

It should’ve always been an option that you can turn on. It should never have been an option that was automatically toggled on.

Does this mean also for people who don’t do shop as well. Then we don’t get commission on our video

That “fixes” the problem for them, but doesn’t give the creator the commission so now TT that doesn’t fix the problem. Have it on auto OFF or go back to the way it was
