TikTok Shop Updates (URGENT) 2025 (Feb 17)

TikTok Shop’s New Subscription Feature: The Biggest E-Commerce Update of 2025

If you’ve been waiting for a game-changing update in the e-commerce space, this is it. TikTok has just rolled out subscriptions on TikTok Shop, and this update is massive for anyone selling online, whether you’re a brand owner or a content creator.

Why This Update Is a Game-Changer

Until now, TikTok Shop has been a powerful platform for driving impulse purchases and viral product sales. But one major limitation was the inability to offer subscriptions directly through the platform. If you wanted to sell a subscription-based product, customers had to go to your website or Amazon to sign up. That’s no longer the case.

Now, TikTok Shop allows users to subscribe to products directly on the platform. This means brands that rely on recurring revenue models—like supplements, skincare, or pet products—can now build a sustainable, long-term customer base within TikTok itself.

What This Means for Brand Owners

If you own a brand and have been leveraging TikTok Shop, this update gives you the ability to increase customer retention and lifetime value (LTV) exponentially. Here’s why:

  • Recurring Revenue: Subscribers mean predictable, monthly income rather than relying on one-off sales.

  • Higher Valuation for Your Brand: Investors and buyers love subscription-based businesses because they offer stability and growth. If you’re looking to scale or sell your brand, this could be a game-changer.

  • No More Channel Switching: Customers can subscribe without leaving TikTok, reducing friction and increasing conversions.

Take our own experience as an example: We run a pet brand that is 90% subscription-based. On Shopify, we’ve grown to nearly 537 active subscribers in under three months. On Amazon, we’ve surpassed 1,000 subscribers. Now, with TikTok Shop’s subscription feature, we can tap into the explosive power of viral marketing while locking in long-term customers.

Why This Is a Goldmine for TikTok Creators & Affiliates

If you’re a TikTok content creator, this update is a money-making machine waiting to be tapped. Why? Because TikTok Shop now allows creators to earn recurring commissions when their audience subscribes to a product.

Let’s break this down:

  • You create a viral TikTok video featuring a subscription-based product.

  • Your followers subscribe directly through your affiliate link.

  • You get paid every month for as long as they remain subscribed.

This is the exact strategy that AG1 (Athletic Greens) has used to dominate the wellness industry. They sponsor top podcasters and influencers who earn recurring commissions from every referred customer. Now, TikTok creators can replicate this model directly on TikTok Shop.
