TikTok has over 1.9 billion global users and the average daily time spent on TikTok has more than doubled<\/a> from 2019 to 2024. According to the app itself, 70% of users discover new brands and products on the platform. In particular, 18-24-year-olds are the most likely to make purchases through TikTok Shop.<\/p>

If you're looking to reach new audiences with your products, setting up a TikTok Shop is an easy way to boost traffic and visibility.<\/p><\/blockquote>

Even better, TikTok Shop makes it easy to set up collaborations with affiliates and tap into the massive community of content creators and influencers (and their audiences) using the app.<\/p>

The amount consumers are expected to spend annually on social media is expected to nearly double from 2023 to 2027<\/a> - so don\u2019t wait, set up the integration now and start selling.<\/p>

Disclaimer - This integration is only for UK based stores and you can only ship orders to UK customers at the moment.<\/em><\/p>

\u26a0\ufe0f Note: The most common issue that prevents orders from going out to customers on time is incomplete payment details in your Teemill settings<\/a>. If you are seeing unfulfilled orders, make sure you have completed Step 6 correctly so we can charge your Saved Card when you make a sale.<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"Once you're set up, orders placed in your TikTok Shop will be automatically sent to our factories for fulfilment. Note that you will be responsible for all customer service for these orders. TikTok will pay you (minus commission rates - see below) and we will charge you for the product + shipping, leaving you with the profit.<\/p>

Get Teemill Pro<\/h3>

Step 1: <\/strong>To link up a print-on-demand Teemill store with TikTok Shop, you\u2019ll need a Teemill Pro account. Upgrade a Free account to Pro here<\/a><\/u> and unlock tonnes of powerful marketing features, an expanded range of products and thousands of assets for your store.<\/p>

Create a TikTok Seller Account<\/strong><\/h3>

Step 2:<\/strong> Whether you have a personal account or business account, you'll still need a TikTok Seller Account to be able to set up the integration.<\/p>

Create one here: https:\/\/seller-uk-accounts.tiktok.com\/account\/register<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>

\"\"Or, from your TikTok App, open the top right menu > Settings and privacy > Account > TikTok Shop for Seller.<\/em><\/p>

\"\"Step 3: <\/strong>Select the relevant categorisation of your brand, whether you\u2019re a sole proprietor, business or charity. If you select that you are a business or charity, you will be asked to provide additional details so TikTok can verify the information you\u2019ve provided. Charities will be asked to provide their Company Number, Company Name In Full and Company Registration Date.<\/p>

Click Next.<\/em><\/p>

\"\"Step 4: <\/strong>TikTok will ask you to confirm if you\u2019re a Consumer or Business User. You\u2019ll be asked to submit ID.<\/p>

\"\"Once your seller account is set up, you can connect it to your print-on-demand store.<\/p>

<\/p>

Set up payment settings inside Teemill<\/strong><\/h3>

\"\"Step 5: <\/strong>Head over to your <\/a>Settings<\/a><\/u> in the Teemill dashboard, scroll down to Set Up 2FA Login Security, and follow the instructions to enable two-factor authentication and keep your account safe.<\/p>

You'll be asked to set this up either through an authenticator app or a text message to your phone.<\/p>

\"\"Step 6: This is very important. <\/strong>Remaining on the <\/a>Settings<\/a><\/u><\/em> page, navigate to API Settings<\/em>, fill in your Company Address details and hit the Enable Private API<\/em> button.<\/p>

Step 7: <\/strong>Next, set up billing for the integration by adding your card details.<\/p>

The integration is free to use but we will charge you for the price of the products you sell + shipping when you make a sale, leaving you with the profit. Find out more about billing here<\/a>.<\/p>

Keep in mind that TikTok will take a commission of 9% for each sale so you may want to increase your prices for your TikTok Shop.<\/p>

However, during your first 90 days of selling on the platform, you\u2019ll be charged a reduced commission rate of 1.8%. You can even enjoy a 0% commission rate during this time if you complete the Seller Mission in the Seller Centre. This involves uploading your full product catalogue and creating an affiliate open plan within 45 days of joining. Find out more about commission rates here<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>

\u26a0\ufe0f Important Note: The most common issue that prevents orders from going out to customers on time is incomplete payment details in your API Settings.<\/strong><\/p>

<\/p>

Connect Teemill to TikTok through the Teemill plugin<\/strong><\/h3>

\"\"Step 8: <\/strong>To set up the TikTok Shop Plugin, you\u2019ll need a Teemill Pro account. Upgrade a Free account to Pro here<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>

Step 9: <\/strong>Through a Teemill Pro store, go to Plugins > TikTok Shop<\/a><\/u><\/em>.<\/p>

Click Connect to TikTok Shop.<\/em><\/p>

\"\"Step 10: <\/strong>You\u2019ll be asked to select your account type - choose Europe seller<\/em>.<\/p>

\"\"You\u2019ll be asked to authorise TikTok to connect to Teemill.<\/p>

Step 11: <\/strong>Click Confirm to install, <\/em>then Authorise <\/em>on the next page.<\/p>

Once set up, you\u2019ll be taken back to the TikTok Plugin.<\/p>

\"\"Your Teemill and TikTok accounts are now connected. Now let\u2019s get your products synced across to TikTok.<\/p>

<\/p>

Set Up Sync Settings in the Teemill Plugin<\/strong><\/h3>

You\u2019ll now be able to see more settings within the TikTok Shop Plugin to control how products sync from your store to TikTok Shop.<\/p>

\"\"Step 12: <\/strong>Under Settings, you\u2019ll see different Sync options, to either sync all products, products in your data feed or only products with specific tags if you don\u2019t want your full catalogue to be uploaded. You\u2019ll need to add your chosen tag to your products in Products > My Products ><\/em> Quick Edit<\/em>.<\/p>

You can also select whether you want products to be enabled automatically, or whether you want them to sync as drafts. If they are drafts, you can make some final edits to them in the Seller Centre before enabling them on TikTok Shop.<\/p>

You can also stop the syncing of information from Teemill to TikTok, allowing you to make changes to products inside Teemill without those changes overwriting your TikTok listings (excluding the addition of new product colours and the associated flats, which will always be synced).<\/p>

You can make edits to products through the TikTok Seller Centre - these will not be transferred to your Teemill store.<\/p>

Products will sync to your TikTok Seller Centre automatically according to your sync settings. New products you create will sync across too.<\/p>

Hit Save<\/em> in your plugin.<\/p>

Note: if you choose to only sync products with a specific tag then remove that tag from a product, the product will still be visible through the Seller Centre, but it will not update with any changes made on the Teemill side.<\/em><\/p>

TikTok will prompt you to verify your payment settings so that you can receive payments from customers. Submit your ID information to set this up.<\/p>

<\/p>

Add a warehouse in the Seller Centre<\/strong><\/h3>

Step 13: <\/strong>TikTok will prompt you to add a warehouse to indicate where you will fulfil orders from.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

To do this in your Seller Centre, click on the shop icon in the top right corner. Go to > My Account > Account Settings > Warehouse Settings.<\/em><\/p>

Create a new warehouse with the following details:<\/p>

Warehouse Name: <\/strong>Teemill
Contact Person: <\/strong>Teemill Customer Service
Phone number: <\/strong>1983409790
Postal code: <\/strong>PO32 6AA
Street address:<\/strong> 19 Albany Road
Area: <\/strong>United Kingdom - England - Wight<\/p>

\"\"Click Save.<\/em><\/p>

<\/p>

Set up Shipping Settings in the Seller Centre<\/strong><\/h3>

\u26a0\ufe0f This is a crucial step to making sure the plugin works correctly.<\/strong><\/p>

You must disable 'Shipped via platform' <\/strong>and enable 'Shipped by seller'<\/strong>. If this is not done correctly, it could lead to your order being marked as being dispatched late, even if our factory has already sent it out.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

Step 14: <\/strong>In your TikTok Seller Centre, under Orders<\/em>, go to Shipping settings<\/em><\/p>

Scroll down to Shipped by seller. <\/em>To enable this, you'll need to add a shipping fee template.<\/p>

To do this, click Manage shipping fee template > Add new template<\/em><\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

Set up your template like this:<\/p>
