Social Commerce Revenue Modeling

Social commerce (TikTok Shop, Instagram, Facebook) involve a complex waterfall: revenue → influencer commission → platform fee → payment processing → remaining ad budget. One missed layer kills profitability.

A $100 sale quickly becomes $65-75 net after all deductions. Many social commerce businesses fail because they don't account for the full waterfall. Always work backwards from net profit.

Strategy: Negotiate lower influencer rates (10-12% instead of 15-20%) for high-volume partnerships. Choose platforms with lower fees. Push customers toward payment methods with lower processing costs.
