Introduction

Introduction

This guide will walk you through the exact strategy for dropshipping products from Amazon directly to TikTok Shop, including how to manage tracking issues that many dropshippers face. By following this tutorial, you can successfully dropship products without maintaining inventory, deliver them within TikTok's required timeframe, and input tracking numbers correctly to ensure smooth transactions.

Step-by-Step Guide

Changing Shipping Settings

  1. Access Shipping Settings:
    • Navigate to the "Orders" tab on the left side of your TikTok Shop backend.
    • Click on "Shipping Options."
    • Choose "Seller Shipping" rather than TikTok’s default shipping labels to reveal customer addresses. This setting is essential for dropshipping as it lets you ship products directly to your customers.

Understanding TikTok's Shipping Rules

  1. Comply with TikTok's Rules:
    • Products must be shipped within 3 days.
    • Products need to be delivered to customers in under 11 days.
  2. Adjust Shipping Templates:
    • Go to the "Shipping Templates" under the "Orders" tab.
    • Select your shipping template.
    • Choose the economy shipping option for maximum allowable delivery time.
    • Set your preferred shipping charges.

Selecting Suppliers

  1. Choosing Suppliers:
    • Avoid overseas suppliers like AliExpress if they can't meet the 11-day delivery window.
    • Use Amazon for its fast shipping, good product quality, and hassle-free returns.

Adding Tracking Information

  1. Handling Tracking Numbers:
    • Common carriers (UPS, USPS, FedEx) tracking numbers can be directly input into TikTok Shop.
    • For Amazon TBA tracking numbers, use Track Taco to generate a valid tracking number for TikTok Shop orders.

How to Use Track Taco

  1. Using Track Taco:
    • Input the city and state where the package is headed.
    • Choose the estimated delivery date, typically a day or two later than Amazon's estimated delivery date.
    • Select a tracking number and input it into your TikTok Shop order.
    • Track Taco provides UPS, USPS, and FedEx tracking numbers.

Handling Returns

  1. Returns Processing:
    • Use Amazon's easy return policy to handle product returns. Amazon will refund you, making the process seamless.

Important Considerations

  1. Important Notes:
    • Do not use Amazon Prime for dropshipping to multiple addresses.
    • Ensure your TikTok Shop delivery complies with the 11-day window to avoid suspended accounts and unhappy customers.
    • Manage customer expectations effectively to prevent issues with tracking and delivery times.
