This tutorial is aimed at beginners in e-commerce and specifically selling on TikTok. The process is straightforward, but having a step-by-step guide to follow along with can help ensure you don't miss any critical details or make errors in entering your information.

Getting Started

    • Input your password to proceed.
  2. Setting Up Your Business:

    • Upload the required documents to verify your identity. You can use a US passport or a US driver's license.
  3. Verify Your Identity:

    • After uploading the photos of your ID, TikTok will verify your account.

    • Verification can be immediate or take up to 24 hours, depending on the risk assessment by TikTok.
  4. Set Up Tax Information:

    • Fill out a W9 Form by adding your Social Security number and address. This part was briefly covered to avoid sharing sensitive information, but it is a straightforward process.

Final Steps
