What it is
TikTok Shop gives sellers ways to offer products through creators, shoppable videos and LIVE shopping, with checkout inside TikTok. Businesses, brands and individual sellers can apply in supported markets after completing verification. Sellers can add products one by one or connect an existing catalog, and can find creators to promote products for commission on resulting sales. Collaboration can be open to affiliate creators or targeted to specific creators. Seller Center’s app covers product and inventory management, orders, buyer inquiries, returns, promotions and performance monitoring. Integrations include marketplaces such as Amazon, Etsy and Walmart, as well as shipping, fulfillment and multichannel operations. A Shopify connector can sync a store and manage products and settings through Seller Center, but is limited to specific sellers. TikTok Shop operates by market; sellers wishing to sell in multiple countries need to sign up for each region. The listed plan is free, with no setup fee and a 6% commission on each sale. A free plan is listed, but there is no free trial.
