How To Actually Verify Your TikTok Account For TikTok Shop

Introduction

Many creators believe that verifying their TikTok account for TikTok Shop requires a blue check mark or a significant following. However, this is entirely inaccurate. You can verify your TikTok Shop account without any blue check and without needing 5,000 followers. If you've been struggling with the verification process, read on to learn how to successfully verify your account step-by-step.

Step 1: Ensure You're on the Correct Site

Make sure you're accessing the right platform. You should be on the seller site, not the affiliate site.

Step 2: Account Verification Process

Many users get stuck during the verification process. I experienced a two-month wait before finally verifying my account. Initially, I was attempting to verify my account through the settings by clicking on the verification button, only to be met with repeated denials. This experience can be frustrating, especially when you're unsure why you're being denied after being provided seller credentials.

Step 3: Use TikTok App for Verification

To initiate the verification process effectively, follow these steps:

  1. Open the TikTok app on your phone.
  2. At the top of the screen, you’ll see options for "Following," "Shop," and "For You." Click on Shop.
  3. Within the shop section, select Messages. This is where you'll find the verification message, but there's a catch—TikTok does not send notifications for these messages. Therefore, you must manually check for any messages.

Once you access this section, if you have tried to verify before, there should be a message waiting for you. Click on the most recent message you see.

Step 4: Submit Verification Information

After opening the verification message, fill in the required information. Upon submission, you might receive a notification stating that additional information is needed. This is a normal part of the process.

  1. Click Add Information.
  2. You will be prompted to upload an identification document. You can use a driver’s license, passport, or state ID.
  3. Select the issuing authority of your ID and upload images of both the front and back of the ID.
  4. After uploading, hit Submit.

It should take roughly 10 minutes for the review process, although it often takes even less time.

After verifying, go back to your desktop to access your seller account again. Here, you’ll generate a QR code for your TikTok page. Then:

  1. Authorize your account for TikTok Shop by clicking the authorization button.
  2. A check mark will appear asking you to confirm that you've read and understood the agreement.
  3. Finally, click on the link button.

If everything is correct, you will receive a congratulatory message confirming that your account has been successfully linked.

Step 6: Access Your Seller Icon

To complete the process, revisit your TikTok account. If you had previously closed the app, either refresh or reopen it. You should now see the seller icon, indicating that you are set up to begin selling on TikTok Shop!
