On the evening of August 10, Liu Xing, the head of public relations for Doubao, published an article stating that the statement “Doubao recommends hotels will charge a fee” is inaccurate. The Doubao lifestyle service business currently has no paid promotion, and Doubao recommended hotels do not charge advertising fees. Merchants cannot influence recommendations or rankings through payment; they only pay channel service fees after the order is completed. Some platforms use a “commission+advertisement” charging model. At this stage, bean bags mainly charge based on transactions. The two are not easy to compare directly. For merchants, what is more indicative is the actual channel cost and the effect of new orders. Doubao is still being explored in the very early stages, so everyone is welcome to experience and comment.
