How to Connect Your Shopify Store to TikTok and Start Selling Your Products
If you're looking to sell your products on TikTok, it's important to know how to connect your Shopify store to the platform. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of setting up your TikTok for business account, creating a marketing catalog, and connecting it to your Shopify store.
Firstly, within the Shopify dashboard, navigate to the sales channels and search for the TikTok app within the app store. Once you've connected your TikTok for business account, select "Enhanced" in terms of data sharing and confirm your company information. Note that it can take up to 24 hours for your ad account to be approved.
Next, within your TikTok app, change your personal account to a business account by submitting business information for approval. If you don't already have a TikTok business center, create one to manage different areas such as store manager, business page, and product catalog.
Once your account is approved, create a marketing catalog and select the product collection you want to promote on TikTok. This will be used in your TikTok ads. Your product status will be reviewed by TikTok and can take up to 3-5 days.
If you're new to advertising on TikTok, find beginner tutorials on creating ads and installing the TikTok pixel on your Shopify store. The TikTok pixel is similar to a Facebook pixel and enables you to track important events for better performance management of your TikTok ads.
Finally, ensure the TikTok option under sales channel and apps is green in the product settings. Once you've completed the connection between TikTok and Shopify, it's time to start engaging in TikTok ads and reaching a larger audience.
In conclusion, connecting your Shopify store to TikTok can be a game-changer for your business. By following these simple steps, you'll be able to promote your products, improve brand awareness, and drive sales on this rapidly growing platform.
