TikTok Shop allows sellers to launch Promote campaigns using content that has been authorized by your affiliate creators. This is known as Affiliate Content Authorization (ACA), and it is a smart strategy for scaling your reach and converting proven creative into more purchases. In fact, sellers who utilize ACA see significantly better performance, with an average increase of 297% in GMV & 35% increase in ROAS compared to those who do not. This powerful feature benefits both parties: it provides you with high-performing ad creative, and your affiliate creators earn commissions from sales generated by the campaign.
Affiliate creators have two easy ways to authorize their videos for your use:
- When Adding a Product to a Showcase: TikTok will send a notification to Get extra commission from affiliate videos.
- On the Order Details Page: Following a completed promotion, they can specifically choose to Authorize sellers to boost videos.
- Create a Promote campaign in the TikTok app. (Click here to learn how to get to the Promote tool)

- Promote Creation Page
- Message in the Order Detail Page
- Promote -> Mine -> Affiliate videos

- Select an affiliate video and click on Promote.
- For your ad goal, select "Get Sales" > "More Product Purchases".
- You can also customize your promotion to define your audience. Click "Pay" once you are done with your setup, and you are good to go!
