TikTok LIVE selling in Malaysia: what the numbers look like (2026)

A fashion shop we run on TikTok made RM82,636 from LIVE in August 2026 and RM50,550 in September, from about 4,580 and 2,710 orders. A sportswear shop made RM17,072 and RM29,917 from LIVE in two months we checked. Here is what those months looked like in TikTok Seller Center, the three numbers we watch after every LIVE, and how LIVE compares with GMV Max ads.

The three numbers we check after every month

  • LIVE-attributed GMV: the sales TikTok credits to your LIVE sessions. This is the headline number.
  • CTR (click-through rate): of the people shown a product during LIVE, how many tapped it. For the fashion shop in August and September it was 6.25–6.46%.
  • CTOR (click-to-order rate): of the people who tapped a product, how many ordered. In the same two months it was 3.32–3.33%, about 1 order for every 30 product taps.

For the fashion shop, CTOR was 3.32% in August and 3.33% in September, even though sales fell from RM82,636 to RM50,550. The drop came from fewer product taps, not from a lower order rate. So when a month is weaker, look at reach first: the LIVE schedule, the videos and ads that bring people in, and which products are pinned.

TikTok Seller Center, September 2026: LIVE-attributed GMV RM50,549.83, 2.71K SKU orders, 2.86K items sold, CTOR 3.33%, CTR 6.25%
Same shop, September 2026: GMV RM50,549.83, CTOR 3.33%, almost the same as August.

LIVE works best for low-priced, easy-to-buy products

The fashion shop’s average LIVE order was about RM18–19. At that price people decide during the LIVE without asking questions first. If your product costs hundreds or thousands of ringgit, or needs a consultation, LIVE is better for building trust and collecting inquiries than for selling on the spot.

LIVE or GMV Max?

They work together rather than instead of each other. The sportswear shop ran both: GMV Max ads brought in RM13,026–14,465 a month at an ROI of 3.53–3.90, while its LIVE sessions brought in RM17,072 (April) and RM29,917 (June). GMV Max is the steady base you can switch on any day; LIVE adds peaks on the days you go live.
