TikTok Shop is growing for users around the world. With TikTok Shop, users are able to purchase and pay for products directly from a video or livestream, without having to leave the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For some, it\u2019s the revolution of the year; for others, an exciting new playing field. What does the arrival of TikTok Shop mean for you as a new entrepreneur? And how can you adapt your online store to this trend? In this blog, we\u2019ll walk you through it and explain everything!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The opportunities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The biggest advantage of TikTok Shop is that you don\u2019t have to start from scratch. Your products are immediately shown to an audience that actively uses the platform and is interested in this type of video. The barrier between discovery and purchase has never been lower: see a cool gadget or trendy outfit? Just tap the product tag and it\u2019s already ordered!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The downside<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although the reach is appealing, TikTok Shop also comes with strict regulations and costs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The commission: Of course, TikTok doesn\u2019t offer this for free. The platform commission in Europe and the UK has been 9%. In America it is around 6%. That\u2019s a significant chunk of your profit margin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Quick turnaround: TikTok\u2019s algorithm can reward you with thousands of orders today and ignore you tomorrow. Can your logistics handle that sudden spike in orders? TikTok penalizes online stores that deliver late or make administrative errors!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    What about Webador and TikTok Shop?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    At this time, we don\u2019t have a direct, built-in integration with TikTok Shop. TikTok often requires a platform that uses a public API to synchronize products and inventory in real time for an official live integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Fortunately, that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t do anything about it! If you use Webador, there are still two smart ways you can capitalize on the TikTok hype:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Method 1: The Link-in-Bio<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Instead of letting users check out directly within the TikTok app, you redirect them to your own online store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
