What are the key steps and requirements for successfully registering and setting up a TikTok Shop?
Sellers must complete business verification, warehouse setup, product addition, tax information submission (W9 form), and link an official TikTok account to fully set up their shop.
Business verification requires accurate, clear, and matching documentation; sellers can have up to 5 shops but only operate one at a time.
What should sellers do if their business verification or tax information submission is rejected?
For verification issues, ensure all submitted info matches documents exactly, upload clear, unaltered images, and correct any discrepancies in Seller Center.
For tax rejections, verify EIN/SSN, Taxpayer Name, and Tax Number match the submitted documents and resubmit for review.
How does the warehouse setup and shipping process work on TikTok Shop?
TikTok Shipping is the default shipping method; sellers must provide a valid "ship from" address verified by USPS during registration.
Sellers can update or add multiple warehouse addresses later via Seller Center, and invalid shipper account addresses do not affect ship-from or return addresses.
What are the important details about adding products and linking an official TikTok account to a TikTok Shop?
Products must be uploaded (single, bulk, or synced from external shops) and the W9 form completed before listings undergo internal compliance review to become visible.
Linking an official TikTok account enables e-commerce video and LIVE permissions, automatically displays products, and the shop name becomes the account’s nickname; account changes are limited to three times.
