How to list products on TikTok Shop

This article provides a step-by-step guide to help you list products on TikTok Shop using LitCommerce. It includes:


Step 1: Add Draft listings to the TikTok Shop channel from All Products

Step 2: Edit Draft listings in the LitCommerce TikTok Shop channel

Step 3: Publish Draft listings on TikTok Shop


The process transfers only products found in LitCommerce’s All Products section. Make sure to check that all your Main Store items are included, and import any missing ones if needed.


Warehouses must also be fully set up in your TikTok Seller Center before publishing products via LitCommerce. Refer to this article for more information on the process.


Further details can be found below.


Step 1: Add Draft listings to the TikTok Shop channel from All Products


  1. Go to the All Products section from the sidebar menu.



  1. Select the products you want to list, click Select Action, and choose Add To Channel Drafts.



  1. Select the TikTok Shop channel and click Add As Draft Now.



You can list the listings in bulk. The Add All Products To Channel Drafts feature is available for paid plan users to help speed up the process.



Step 2: Edit Draft listings in the LitCommerce TikTok Shop channel 


After completing the first stage, your listings will appear under the Draft tab in the LitCommerce TikTok Shop channel. 



You can start filling in the required information by clicking on the title to open the listing details page. 



The page consists of the following tabs.


  • Product Identifiers/Variations Identifiers.
  • Vital Info.
  • Images.
  • Pricing/Variations.
  • Category.
  • Shipping.


The data in the Product Identifiers/Variations Identifiers, Vital Info, Images, and Pricing/Variations tabs is automatically imported from All Products. You must manually review these details and complete all other required fields to comply with TikTok Shop's listing policies.



Required fields are marked with a red asterisk (*).


Let’s go through each tab below.


Product Identifiers


This tab includes multiple product identifier fields used to distinguish listings and help TikTok Shop create new ones.


  • ​SKU.
  • GTIN/Other product identifiers.



If your listing is a variant, this tab will appear as Variations Identifiers, displaying the parent product and its associated variations.



Vital Info


This tab consists of two required fields: Title and Description, each displaying the corresponding data from your Main Store. You can edit both fields to customize the content specifically for TikTok Shop. 


To give you more control over the product description, LitCommerce offers two toggleable editing modes:


  • Rich Text Editor: Ideal for simple descriptions using basic formatting.
  • HTML Editor: Ideal for complex layouts using custom HTML and CSS.



Use the Title & Description Template to bulk edit product titles and descriptions. It populates these TikTok fields by mapping them to attributes from your Main Store.


Images


This tab displays images and videos retrieved from the corresponding Main Store product. All images must meet TikTok Shop’s image standards.


Images and videos cannot be added directly to the Images tab in LitCommerce. To update them, make the necessary changes in your Main Store and use the Load Images From Main Store button to reflect them in your TikTok Shop listings.



Simply drag and drop images or videos in the Images tab to adjust their order. You can also remove the images and videos by hovering over them and clicking x on the top-right corner.



Pricing/Variations


Pricing


This tab is only visible on simple listings. It contains two fields: Price and Quantity, displaying the corresponding data from your Main Store and available for editing on item level.



The List Price field is exclusive to TikTok Shop US, allowing you to enter this data directly on the listing details page.



You can adjust the information in bulk based on the Main Store data using rules in the template or the LitCommerce TikTok Shop Channel Settings.


Variations


This tab replaces the Pricing tab for variant listings. It displays each variation's SKU, GTIN, list price, attributes, price, and quantity.



You can delete unwanted variations from the listing by clicking the Bin icon. However, not all variations can be removed from the parent product in the LitCommerce TikTok Shop channel.


Category


The Category tab is essential during the listing process, as it helps provide buyers with key information about your items. Follow the steps below to proceed.


  1. Search or browse, and select a Primary Category from the available options. This will show all relevant fields of that category.



By default, LitCommerce offers the Auto-suggest Category feature, which lets TikTok Shop automatically recommend a suitable category for your listing based on the product title. Entering the Category tab without a template applied will trigger this feature.



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


  1. Enter a suitable value for each required product attribute. Optional fields can also have value added.



Utilize the Category Template to map the TikTok Shop fields with the Main Store attributes for bulk editing. 


Shipping


Set up your shipping information using this tab. It consists of the following:



  • Warehouse: Display the warehouse mappings from the Channel Settings if you have multiple warehouses on TikTok Shop.


  • Delivery Options: Select a shipping method that was set up in your TikTok Seller Center. This field is not available for TikTok Shop US.


Orders with the TikTok Shipping (Ship by TikTok) method will have the buyers’ information redacted when synced through LitCommerce. Use the Seller Shipping (Ship by Seller) option so future orders can display all buyers’ details.


  • 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.


Step 3: Publish Draft listings on TikTok Shop


Once all the required information is completed on the listing details page, you can save and publish the listing on TikTok Shop. Look at the bottom-right corner and click on one of the buttons below:


  • Save & Publish: Save and publish all changes immediately on TikTok Shop.
  • Save & Close: Save the changes as a draft on LitCommerce and exit the listing details page.
  • Save Changes: Save the changes and stay on the page to continue editing.



To publish multiple listings at once, navigate to the Draft tab on the TikTok Shop channel, select the listings, and then perform the action Publish to TikTok.



After publishing successfully, the listings will be transferred from Draft to the Active tab.



If the provided information does not meet TikTok Shop's requirements or policies, the listings will be moved to the Error tab. To resolve, open the listing details page, review the error messages, and make the necessary corrections before republishing.



Alternatively, utilize the Quick Publish to TikTok feature to help streamline the process.
