How to Create TikTok Shop Account USA Marketplace from Pakistan - Complete Tutorial

Introduction

Assalam Walaykum! Welcome back to my channel. I am your brother Shahid Iqbal Samoh. In today's video, I'll guide you through creating a TikTok Shop account for the USA market. Previously, we covered account creation for the UK market, and now it's time to dive into the intricacies of setting up a shop in the USA. I'll also share some results we've seen in the US market.

Resident vs. Non-Resident Account Creation

If you're a non-US resident, meaning you live outside of the United States, and you've applied for an ITIN, you should know that you cannot create an account using an ITIN alone anymore. It's crucial to understand the difference between a US resident and a US citizen. A US citizen has a passport and permanent residency, while a US resident may only have a driving license and eventually, an SSN.

For non-US residents, your account will not be created with just an ITIN. Here are your options:

  1. SSN of a US Citizen: Utilize the SSN of a friend or relative, but follow the described procedure.
  2. Purchase an Account: You can buy an account from the market or our team. However, be aware of the risks, especially during video verification.
  3. LLC Based Account: Create an LLC in your name but use a friend's or relative's SSN.

Step-by-Step Account Creation Process

1. Sign Up

  • Email Sign-Up: Confirm the United States as your selling market and set a password.
  • Business Type Selection: For a business account, you'll need a legal business name, Employer Identification Number (EIN), registered business address, and tax ID digits.

2. Business Information

  • Beneficial Owner: If your business has a beneficial owner, provide their details.
  • Business Representative: If you're using someone else's SSN, select them as the business representative.

3. Address and Verification

  • Business Address: Enter the registered business address carefully, including apartment or suite numbers.
  • Verification: TikTok will initially review your information. If approved, they won't ask for documents, but any mismatches may require further verification.

Common Issues and Solutions

  • Incorrect Information: Double-check all business details and address.
  • Rejected Documents: Correct any mistakes and resubmit until approved.

Post-Creation Steps

1. Setup Fulfillment and Shipping

  • Handling Time: Set maximum handling time to three days.
  • Shipping Template: Create a standard shipping template with no fees initially and adjust product prices to cover shipping costs.

2. Listing Products

Follow the guidelines for listing products, similar to the UK account creation process.

Conclusion

Setting up a TikTok Shop account for the USA market from Pakistan may involve several steps and verifying information meticulously. Ensure all details are correct to avoid rejections. Stay tuned for our next video on product hunting with advanced tools and insights.
