Here's your complete beginner-friendly tutorial on how to create a TikTok Shop and start selling for real in 2025 — step-by-step, no fluff, just what works 👇

🛒 Step 1: Check Your Eligibility
To create a TikTok Shop, you need:

A valid business or individual ID (passport, national ID, etc.)

A TikTok account in a supported region (e.g., USA, UK, Indonesia, etc.)

A bank account to receive payments

Be 18+ years old

✅ Bonus tip: You do NOT need a huge following to open a shop. TikTok wants more sellers.

🧾 Step 2: Sign Up for TikTok Shop Seller Center
Go to: https://seller.tiktokglobalshop.com

Click "Sign Up with TikTok Account"

Choose your country and whether you're an individual or business

Upload a valid ID or business license

Add your bank account and warehouse/shipping address

⏱️ Verification usually takes 24–72 hours.

📦 Step 3: Add Your Products
Once approved:

Go to "Product Management"

Click "Add Product"

Upload:

High-quality images or video (TikTok loves video previews)

Title, description, and variations (size, color, etc.)

Price

Stock info

Shipping details

🎥 Tip: Use lifestyle photos or TikTok-style videos showing the product in use.

🧠 Step 4: Understand TikTok Shop Logistics
Depending on your region:

TikTok may offer Fulfilled by TikTok (FBT): they store & ship for you

Or Self-Fulfillment: you pack & ship yourself

Add your shipping rates or choose TikTok's logistics support

Use trackable shipping to avoid disputes.

💰 Step 5: Promote With TikTok Videos
Switch to a Business account

Post product-related videos — tutorials, try-ons, reviews, unboxings

Use the TikTok Shop tag to link your product directly under the video

Run TikTok Ads via TikTok Ads Manager (optional but powerful)

🎯 Format ideas:

"I can't believe I found this on TikTok Shop"

"TikTok made me buy it" trends

Before & after / transformation videos

👯�♀️ Step 6: Use the TikTok Affiliate Program
Let creators sell your products for you:

Go to "Affiliate Marketing" in Seller Center

Add commission (e.g., 10–20%)

Creators can now add your products to their content

This brings free traffic and sales if you offer good commissions.

📊 Step 7: Track Orders & Optimize
Use the Seller Dashboard to:

Manage orders

Track returns & disputes

See what's selling best

Run promotions/discounts

🔥 Extra Tips for Success:
Post daily TikToks featuring your products

Use TikTok trends and sounds to boost visibility

Include real reviews and testimonials

Bundle products for higher AOV

Always reply to customer messages & reviews
