Setting Up TikTok Shop for Small Businesses Safely

Learn how to set up a TikTok Shop safely and protect your small business from scams, allowing you to sell to millions of TikTok users.

To get started, consider your TikTok Shop as an extension of your business and prepare accordingly. Ensure your business is ready for increased visibility and security.

Getting Started with TikTok Shop

Head to the TikTok Shop Seller Center to begin the setup process. Be cautious of links in ads, texts, or direct messages that claim to "fast-track" your approval, as these may be scams.

Security Precautions

  1. Submit your application through the official TikTok Shop Seller Center.
  2. Avoid clicking on suspicious links or providing sensitive information outside of the official platform.
TikTok never asks for passwords or verification codes by message, call, or social media. Any "TikTok representative" or "TikTok Support" contacting you outside the official platform is likely a scammer.

After submitting your application, TikTok will review your shop within a few days. Once approved, you can start connecting your products to videos and live streams.
