Setting Up TikTok Shop for Small Businesses Safely
Learn how to set up a TikTok Shop safely and protect your small business from scams to start selling to millions of TikTok users.
Before getting started, ensure your business is ready for visibility and security, considering your TikTok Shop as an extension of your business.
Getting Started with TikTok Shop
- Go to the official TikTok Shop Seller Center to set up your shop.
- Avoid clicking links in ads, texts, or DMs that promise to "fast-track" your approval, as they may be scams.
After submitting your application, TikTok usually reviews your shop within a few days. Once approved, you can connect your products to videos and live streams.
TikTok never asks for passwords or verification codes by message, call, or social media.
Be cautious of scammers posing as "TikTok representatives" or "TikTok Support" contacting you outside the official platform.
