How To Dropship With TikTok Shop (FULL GUIDE)

Introduction

TikTok Shop Drop Shipping has been gaining massive popularity recently. New drop shippers are achieving significant success on TikTok every day. In this article, I will walk you through the steps to find the best products to drop ship onto TikTok Shop, set up your TikTok Shop account, and leverage tools to optimize your dropshipping business.

Finding the Best Products for TikTok Shop

To identify the best products to dropship on TikTok Shop, we'll use two primary websites: eBay and Amazon. These platforms are excellent for finding products that are both affordable and U.S.-based, which is crucial for meeting TikTok’s shipping requirements.

When looking for products, aim for cheaper, unbranded items that either solve a problem or have a "wow" factor. Products that rightfully catch people's eyes are vital because TikTok users have a very short attention span.

Example Products

  1. Necklace Phone Holder: This unique and slightly strange product allows the user to film a POV from their neck. Priced under $ 30 and having good reviews, it’s a potential high-performer.
  2. Toilet Paper Holder with Phone Stand: Another attention-grabbing, quirky item that is inexpensive and useful.
  3. Exercise Equipment: Fitness products tend to do well on TikTok. Be sure to verify the seller’s reliability on eBay by checking feedback ratings and shipping locations to ensure they are U.S.-based.

Product Research Tools

AutoDS

AutoDS is a powerful tool to automate and run your dropshipping store. It provides two essential features for finding trending products: TikTok Spy and the Trending Products section.

Using TikTok Spy

TikTok Spy helps you identify popular videos promoting products:

  1. Set criteria such as videos with at least 50,000 likes.
  2. Use search keywords like "TikTok made me buy it".
  3. Look for products that have high engagement. For instance, an oil dispenser that went viral can guide you to source a similar product on Amazon or eBay.

Trending Products section provides insights into products that are currently high in demand. Evaluate these findings on Amazon or eBay and ensure they are similarly engaging and cost-effective.

Setting Up Your TikTok Shop Account

  1. Google TikTok Shop Signup and follow the form to start the sign-up process.
  2. Create a Shop Name: Take advantage of tools like ChatGPT to brainstorm names.
  3. Verify Your Identity: Upload necessary documents to get your account approved. If rejected, reapply until approved.

Once approved, integrate your AutoDS account to automate listing products. Here’s how:

  1. Choose a product URL from Amazon or eBay.
  2. Paste it into AutoDS to pull in all relevant product information.
  3. Optimize the listing with better titles, images, and descriptions.
