GMV on TikTok Shop and Shopee: what it means
GMV is the total value a livestream sold. TikTok Shop’s US page calls it Gross Merchandise Value, the total sales during your stream; its Malaysian pages write Gross Merchandise Volume and count LIVE revenue without taking out refunds or returns. Shopee’s Live Dashboard shows Gross merchandise value.
