If you're interested in getting started with TikTok shop this year and selling a product through TikTok, this guide will demonstrate the steps and techniques required to set up your TikTok shop seller account. 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

  1. Visit the TikTok Shop Registration Page:

    • Input your password to proceed.

  2. Setting Up Your Business:

    • You will be prompted to set up your business. If you’re a beginner, you will likely choose the option to sell as an individual.
    • For those with a registered business (LLC or Corporation), select the appropriate option.
    • 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.
    • You will be directed to a screen where you can start selling. Here, your business's verification status will be displayed.
    • 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

Once your account is verified and set up, you can start adding products to your TikTok shop.

  1. Upload Products:
    • You can either upload products manually or sync them with your online store.
  2. Syncing With Shopify:
    • For those with a Shopify drop shipping store, you can link this to your TikTok shop. This will be covered in detail in a subsequent video tutorial.
