Written by The Charm Team | Aug 13, 2026, 8:46:28 PM

Consumers are growing more comfortable making expensive purchases on TikTok Shop, buying everything from LED face masks to above-ground pools. Here's what you need to know:

  • TikTok Shop is increasingly gaining consumer trust and moving beyond a platform for impulse purchases. The launch of bigger brands on TikTok Shop, including Skims and Pacsun, has also added credibility to the marketplace.

  • In the year since launching on TikTok Shop, Mellow Sleep earned 50,000+ reviews from organic creators and 20,000+ five-star customer reviews, with its $50 pillow and $85+ comforter leading their categories.

  • One Mellow Sleep creator grew monthly GMV from $80,000 to $1.5 million in 10 months, showing the sales potential of strong creator partnerships.

  • Spreetail, a multi-brand seller on the platform, saw TikTok Shop sales rise 125% YoY for pools and spas, 275% for outdoor furniture, and nearly 150% for lawn and garden products.

  • TikTok helped Spreetail cut delivery times from five days to two days, improving fulfillment for bulky products priced as high as $2,000 for saunas.

  • An Envision Horizons study found 51% of 1,030+ consumers had bought a TikTok Shop item costing $100 or more, while brands selling expensive products are becoming more selective with affiliates.
