UPDATED: The difference between Seller Shipping & Platform Shipping Options on TikTok Shop

Introduction

In today's fast-paced world of e-commerce, understanding shipping options is essential for maximizing efficiency and enhancing customer satisfaction. This article aims to clarify the shipping options available in the TikTok Shop Seller Center and how they relate to SK IQ.

When you log into the TikTok Shop Seller Center, you will find yourself on the home screen. From there, navigate to the “Orders” section and select “Shipping Options.” You will encounter two primary shipping options: TikTok Shipping and Seller Shipping.

TikTok Shipping

Selecting TikTok Shipping means that you are opting for TikTok to handle all aspects of order fulfillment. In this mode, there is no need to send shipping information to SK IQ or Shopify, as TikTok will manage the entire process on your behalf. If you choose this option, it indicates to TikTok that you do not want third-party services to process your shipping data.

Seller Shipping

Conversely, if you want to utilize SK IQ and Shopify for order fulfillment, you should select Seller Shipping. By choosing this option, you inform TikTok Shop that you prefer to use your own fulfillment methods rather than relying on TikTok for shipping. Switching between these two options is straightforward. If TikTok Shipping is currently in use, you can change to Seller Shipping simply by selecting the appropriate option.

Once you have set Seller Shipping as your choice, all orders will automatically route to SK IQ and Shopify for fulfillment. This allows you to use any shipping service or tracking company you prefer, ensuring a smooth process for order completion. To make sure your settings are aligned with your shipping preferences, you can click on “View Details” to edit your shipping template accordingly.

In summary, understanding and selecting the right shipping option is critical in the TikTok Shop environment. By properly configuring your settings, you can enhance your operational efficiency and provide better service to your customers.
