To provide a complete service, the company made investments heavily in hiring, building delivery networks, subsidizing merchants, and offering free shipping, The Information wrote. Despite its soaring costs, TikTok Shop is generating around $3 million to $4 million daily in the US, a significant rise from less than $1 million in June, said the report.
