How we run affiliates
We start every shop with established creators. Before launch we research your category and shortlist the best creators in your niche, then send them samples.
After the first month or so, the sales data shows exactly who and what sells, so we build on it and keep finding your next big seller.
- Creator research before launch
- Samples and briefs for the best creators in your niche
- Creator communities, with brand safety included
- Monthly reporting on who and what sells
One summer. 900+ creators. 24 million views.

Common questions
What does a TikTok Shop affiliate agency do?
A TikTok Shop affiliate agency finds, samples and manages the creators who sell your products on TikTok Shop. Cipher Agency researches your category before launch, sends samples to the best creators in your niche, then builds on the ones the sales data shows are selling.
Do I need lots of creators to grow affiliate sales?
Not always. For Beauty Base, affiliate GMV per creator posting rose 5.4× from January to September 2026. That meant fewer creators and far more sales from each one.
How many creators can an affiliate programme reach?
For C4 Energy, 900+ creators posted almost 4,000 affiliate videos between June and August 2026, and those videos reached more than 24M views (source: TikTok Shop data).
Can affiliates drive most of a new shop’s sales?
Yes. C4 Energy had no TikTok Shop sales when we started in March 2026. From March to October 2026, 73% of its GMV came from affiliates, with more than 9,800 creator videos posted.
How much does a TikTok Shop affiliate agency cost?
It depends on how many creators you want to reach, how many samples you send and which other services you need. Creators are paid commission on the sales they make, so most of the cost grows with your sales.
How long do affiliates take to get results?
OptiBac went from 14 creator sample requests in August 2026 to more than 2,900 between 1 September and 26 October 2026.
