How to Fulfill Tiktok Shop Orders with Amazon FBA Inventory

Introduction

TikTok Shop is experiencing significant growth, but the challenges associated with fulfillment and logistics can be daunting. Whether you're new to TikTok Shop or a seasoned seller, automating your order fulfillment using your Amazon FBA inventory can streamline your operations. In this article, I will guide you step-by-step through the process of connecting your Amazon seller account to your TikTok Shop, ensuring that when you receive an order, it automatically fulfills through your FBA inventory.

Step 1: Setting Up Your TikTok Shop

  1. Create Your TikTok Seller Account

    • If you haven’t already, you need to sign up for a TikTok Shop Seller Center account. Simply Google "TikTok Shop Seller Account" and follow the straightforward registration process. Once you have your account, you'll be directed to a dashboard.

  2. Create a Product Listing

    • Navigate to the Products tab on your dashboard and create your first product listing. This process is similar to creating a listing on Amazon. Include a title, choose a category, enter your brand name, add product attributes, upload media (images and videos), and write a product description.

    • It's crucial to ensure that the UPC code and SKU used on Amazon match those on TikTok to facilitate proper syncing.

    Pro Tip: If you're managing a large catalog (10 or more products), use the app mentioned in the next steps to sync all products from Amazon directly to your TikTok Shop automatically.

Step 2: Create a Shipping Template

  1. Access Shipping Templates

    • Go to the Orders section and click on Shipping Templates. Here, you can create a new shipping template or edit an existing one.
    • Specify a template name and the shipping model (weight or quantity-based). Decide on the shipping speed; "Standard Shipping" is usually recommended.

  2. Set Shipping Rates

    • Input your flat shipping rate, for example, $ 5. Remember to select all 50 states, including Hawaii and Alaska.

Step 3: Select Shipping Options

  1. Choose Seller Shipping
    • Under the Shipping Options section, ensure you select "Seller Shipping" to manage your orders effectively.

Step 4: Install and Configure an App

  1. Use the Webb App

    • Go to the Growth icon and find Apps and Services. Search for the app named Webb—this app simplifies order syncing between Amazon and TikTok.
    • Install Webb and provide your contact information. Once installed, create your account and verify it via your email.

  2. Connect Your Amazon Seller Account

    • Log into your Amazon Seller Central account in a new tab and authorize the Webb app to connect to your account.

  3. Setting Up App Settings

    • Set up app notifications for any order processing failures to avoid delayed shipments. Sync your inventory and automatically import tracking from Amazon FBA to TikTok by toggling those options within the app.

  4. Select a Plan

    • Choose a plan that fits your needs. They offer various options including Starter, Growth, and Unlimited plans. The Starter plan starts at $ 35/month, and you can use the coupon code trevan1M for the first month free and 20% off for the first year.

Step 5: Final Configuration

  1. Review Marketplace Settings

    • Ensure all settings are correctly configured and save your updates.

  2. Update Inventory

    • Check and update your inventory to ensure all items are synchronized properly. Now, when you receive orders from TikTok Shop, you’ll see them reflected in the Webb dashboard.

  3. Manage Unsynced Orders

    • For any unsynced orders, you can manually resubmit them to Amazon to fulfill those orders.

With these steps complete, your TikTok Shop now automatically fulfills orders through Amazon FBA, saving you time and effort. You'll enjoy a seamless selling experience as you capitalize on the growth TikTok Shop has to offer.
