In response to rumors on social media about "Doubao recommending hotels for a fee," Liu Xing, the head of public affairs for Doubao at ByteDance, stated on the evening of August 10 that the related statements are inaccurate. He indicated that Doubao's life service business currently does not have paid promotions, and Doubao does not charge advertising fees for hotel recommendations; merchants cannot influence recommendations or rankings through payment, and only pay channel service fees after an order is completed.Liu Xing pointed out that some platforms adopt a "commission + advertising" charging model, while Doubao primarily charges based on completed transactions at this stage, making direct comparisons inappropriate. For merchants, the actual channel costs and the effects of new orders are more meaningful references. He also mentioned that Doubao's life service business is still in a very early exploratory stage.

Starting from August 10, hotel orders placed through the Doubao entrance that redirect to Douyin Laike will begin to execute independent rates, with a software service fee of 11.4%, a payment processing fee of 0.6%, and a comprehensive rate of approximately 12%.

The software service fee is based on the "actual amount paid by the user plus platform general coupons and other subsidies." Specific channels include Doubao, and the specific rates are implemented based on differentiated standards according to merchant type, product category, and transaction channel. Whether an order belongs to a specific channel is subject to the display on the settlement statement.
