Create TikTok Shop Seller Account USA 2024 | Complete Tutorial | How to Sell On TikTok Shop

Welcome Friends,

My name is Usama Hafeez, and today we embark on the first lecture of our TikTok Seller Central course. In this comprehensive series, we will address the challenges faced by sellers in 2024 and update our course accordingly. This week, we will cover the entire process of creating and managing a TikTok Shop account, including hunting, listing, sourcing, and order dispatching.

Why Sell in the USA?

To begin with, I recommend focusing on the USA market. The UK market has presented several challenges, including account suspensions and stringent verification processes, such as requiring a photograph with a passport in front of your home. In contrast, creating an account in the USA, especially with an LLC company and ITI or SSN number, offers lifetime VIP status for your account. Therefore, we will be creating a professional account for secure, unlimited orders and dispatching.

Steps to Create Your TikTok Seller Account in the USA

  1. Register Your LLC:

    • You must have an LLC and one of either an EIN, ITIN, or SSN. If you don't have an SSN, apply for an ITIN.

  2. Create Your TikTok Shop Account:

    • Visit the TikTok USA Shop registration interface.
    • Submit your email and set a password.
    • Choose the 'Partnership' option; ensure you have your LLC’s EIN number and registered address.

  3. Submit Details:

    • Enter your business name and EIN number.
    • Specify if there is a beneficial owner.
    • Enter your registered and residential addresses.
    • Choose your business type (e.g., Partnership, Corporation).
    • Provide owner details, including SSN or ITIN and date of birth.

  4. Verification and Approval:

    • Wait for verification (8-10 minutes). If initially rejected, revise your details and reapply.
    • Upon approval, create a shop name, choose a category, and provide a USA phone number for verifications.

  5. Complete Your Profile:

    • Add your tax information via form 9, which you can auto-generate or fill manually.
    • Setup the shipping method, linking your prep center or the address from where you will ship products.

  6. VPN Setup:

    • Use a VPN set to the USA when creating your TikTok buyer account.

Important Points

  • Selecting a Name: Ensure there are no commas in your LLC name.
  • Approval Notifications: Do not list products until your account is fully approved.
  • Shipping Information: Ensure the warehouse and return addresses are correctly set up.
  • VPN Usage: Always use a USA VPN to avoid account suspensions.

Common Issues and Solutions

  • Rejections: Double-check SSN, ITIN, EIN numbers, and ensure all information is accurate.
  • Account Linking: Use USA IP address for TikTok account connectivity.
  • Authentic Information: Avoid using provided details in the exact form; generate unique data to avoid conflicts.
