How to Process "TikTok Shipping" Orders?

Setting up Shipping

Summary

What is the process for creating and purchasing shipping labels using TikTok Shipping?

  • Sellers select orders under "Manage Orders" > "To Ship" and use the "Create Shipping Labels" button to buy labels individually or in bulk, choosing either "Purchase Only" or "Purchase and Print" options for flexibility.
  • During label creation, sellers can edit shipping services, add value-added services, and adjust package sizes or document formats to fit their shipping needs.

What should sellers do if their shipping label is rejected, and what are common causes for rejection?

  • If a label is rejected due to carrier error codes, TikTok displays the reason and suggests fixes; sellers can resolve issues and click "Recreate Label" to retry or contact customer service for serious problems.
  • Common rejection causes include incorrect buyer addresses, oversized products, or shipping provider order failures.

How can sellers manage and track their shipping labels after purchase on TikTok Shipping?

  • Sellers can use the Shipping Labels page to bulk recreate or reprint labels, view printing results, and handle issues efficiently during fulfillment.
  • The page also provides detailed package info and full label history, including creation and printing records, with options to download PDFs of batch labels.

What customization options are available for shipping label and packing slip formats on TikTok Shipping?

  • Merchants can choose from multiple label and packing slip sizes (4x6", 8.5x11", A5, A6) and print configurations (1 or 2 pages), with the system automatically generating separate files if sizes differ.
  • Sellers can set default label printing actions (purchase only or purchase and print) to streamline their fulfillment workflow.

Are there any important restrictions sellers should be aware of when using TikTok Shipping labels?

  • Each order must have a unique shipping label; reuse of shipping labels is strictly prohibited to ensure accurate tracking and delivery.

    1. What if my label is rejected?
    To create a shipping label, TikTok Shop must confirm the shipping information with the carrier. If the system confirms the shipping information from the carrier, labels are successfully generated. However, if an error code from the carrier is received, label creation cannot be completed.
    If we receive an error code, a "Label rejected" notice will be displayed for that order at the bottom of the page. Don't panic! We will show the reason for the error code and suggest ways to fix the problem. Once you’ve resolved the issue, you can click Recreate Label to continue the process.

    Different types of errors may cause your shipping labels to be rejected. Common errors include:
    Types of Errors
    • An issue with the buyer’s address
    • An oversized product
    • An order failure with the shipping provider
    Depending on what caused the rejection, issues can often be solved in just a few quick steps or, for more serious problems, you can contact the TikTok Shop customer service team to get more information on why the label was rejected.
    1. Recreate or reprint on the Shipping Labels page
    Once you successfully address any issues with your failed labels and are ready to recreate or reprint them, you can do so on the Shipping Labels page, which supports bulk processing. The Shipping Labels page clearly shows your printing results and makes it easy to directly handle any issues, saving you a lot of time during fulfillment.
