Blueprint
Over a billion monthly active users, and 62% of TikTok's U.S. audience sits in the 10–29 demographic that sets purchase trends. The opportunity is real; so is the setup work. Business verification, Seller Center configuration, TikTok's catalog requirements, and two-way order sync each have failure points this blueprint maps in advance.

TikTok Shop requires a connector that pushes catalog data in and pulls orders out — a one-way feed fails the integration

FAQ
Q: What does TikTok Shop require before I can sell?A: Business verification, operation in a supported market, an active TikTok presence, business documentation (license, ID, TIN, proof of address), a bound bank account, and a working catalog integration.Q: Why can't I just upload a product file?A: TikTok's catalog requirements include category-specific attributes that a static file can't maintain. Errors returned from TikTok must be resolved against those attributes — a connector with a feed layer does that; a flat file doesn't.Q: How do orders get back to my store?A: Through the connector's order sync: TikTok is activated as an order source, shipping methods are configured to match what you offer, and your ecommerce platform is set as the order destination.

This isn't "add to cart" and redirect to a website. It's add to cart, checkout, and confirm — without switching apps.
