How to create TikTok Templates & Recipes

To bulk edit multiple listings with similar attributes, you can create and apply Templates and Recipes. This will automatically populate a predefined format of listing attributes.

This article walks you through creating TikTok Templates and Recipes, including:

Templates

Title & Description Template

More details can be found below.

Templates

The steps to create a template are available HERE. This section explains each type of template used on TikTok Shop.

Title & Description Template

The template consists of two main sections: Title and Description, each containing its respective placeholders: {{name}} and {{description}}.

They retrieve the exact title and description data from your Main Store to populate the corresponding fields in your TikTok Shop listings.

You can also use other attributes, such as Main Store fields and metafields, to add more information to your product title and description. Find them in the Select Attributes list.

If a Main Store attribute shares the same name as a supported default placeholder, the system will prioritize the attribute. To use the original placeholder, write the following format: {{product.field_name}}.

Applying the Title & Description Template to imported TikTok Shop listings may overwrite both the title and description with Main Store data. To retain the existing TikTok Shop title or description when using the template, input {{channel.name}} or {{channel.description}}.

Additionally, to give you more control over your product description, LitCommerce provides two toggleable editing modes: Rich Text Editor and HTML Editor.

Rich Text Editor

This mode allows you to create and format content visually, without needing to write HTML or CSS. It works like a simplified word processor built into the web interface.

The LitCommerce Rich Text Editor features a toolbar with formatting icons. Clicking an icon automatically applies the appropriate formatting to your content. You can also insert external media, such as images or videos, using the available options.

HTML Editor

Use this editor to work directly with HTML tags when creating structured product descriptions. It offers three view modes: Source Code, Code Preview, and Full Preview, to make editing and managing your content easier.

The Rich Text Editor only supports a limited set of HTML codes. Switching from the HTML Editor to the Rich Text Editor may remove unsupported codes.

Category Template

You can find the following main sections in this template.

Primary Category

Primary Category: Search using keywords and select a Primary Category from TikTok Shop’s available options.

Alternatively, you can browse from the list of categories. Ensure you select an end-leaf category.

Certain categories require permission from TikTok Shop before being used. Refer to this article to apply for Invite-Only categories.

Size chart: Upload an image that shows the size chart of your items. It must meet TikTok Shop’s size chart requirements.

No Brand: Disable this toggle to specify a brand for your listings from the available options.

If listing items under your own or trademarked brand, apply for Brand Authorization from TikTok Shop to confirm trademark ownership or selling rights.

Product certification

Certain categories require product certification to confirm product authenticity and comply with local legal standards. This is especially common for products like cosmetics or food items that involve regulated ingredients.

You can upload up to 3 files per criteria to provide TikTok Shop with the necessary information.

More details on the product certification requirements can be found HERE.

Product Attributes

This section helps buyers have a clearer understanding of your listings before purchasing.

Fill in a fixed value for any required fields (marked by the red asterisk (*)) and add supplementary information through the optional fields. This will apply to all listings using the template.

These fields vary depending on the selected Primary Category.

Depending on the TikTok Shop fields, you can map the Main Store attributes to them using Select Attribute for LitCommerce to automatically populate the fields with corresponding values.

Pricing Template

This template features two main options to modify and update price data:

Price Adjustment and Price Rounding: Follow the basic Price Rules Options. You can add multiple adjustments to modify your Amazon listings’ prices based on the Main Store products.

Use the Price Preview tool to review how the configured price rules take effect.

Price override: Manually select a Main Store Attribute from All Products or enter a numeric value to display.

Applying the Pricing Template will override the price rules in the Channel Settings.

For TikTok Shop US, enable Advanced options to view price adjustment for List Price. It also includes two main modification options: Price Adjustment and Price override.

Shipping Template

Set up shipping information for bulk listings using this template. It includes:

Delivery: Select a suitable Delivery Option from the ones that were already set up in your TikTok Seller Center.

This section is only available for TikTok Shop regions outside of the US. Refer to this article for details on the Delivery Options setup process.

Weight and Dimensions: Enter a fixed value in each field or use Select Attribute to map the corresponding Main Store attribute for automatic data entry.

Recipe

The TikTok Shop Recipes follow the same instructions as the Recipe.

By following these steps, you can create and manage the templates and recipes on the LitCommerce TikTok Shop channel to help ensure your listings are completed and properly structured.
