    System Configuration

    After joining TikTok Shipping, you can ship using your ERP system or create orders through Seller Center. Please follow the steps below to complete the system setup:

    Ship with Seller Center

    Label GenerationOrders created after upgrading TikTok Shipping will be automatically allocated to the new service. You can easily generate shipping labels by clicking "Generate Labels and Print".
    What's new on the upgraded TikTok Shipping Label Creation Page:
    • No value-added service selection – TikTok Shop will handle claims and complaints for each order directly.
    • No estimated lead-time display – TikTok Shop will no longer show estimated delivery times for individual orders. TikTok Shop is responsible for making sure orders arrive on time.
    Orders Created Before Upgrading TikTok ShippingOrders created before upgrading TikTok Shipping will remain under the original fulfillment method based on the shop type at the time of creation. These orders cannot be merged with upgraded TikTok Shipping orders in the same shipment.
    Order Combine/SplitThe order combine and split functions remain unchanged. Orders will continue to follow the same combination and splitting rules and criteria as before, based on the guidelines below:
    Order Combine/Split Shipping Service Assignment Rules:
    • Orders can be combined even if they are initially assigned to different shipping services (e.g., OnTrac and USPS), as long as they meet the standard order combination criteria mentioned in the articles above.
    • Once combined, the system will automatically assign the best available shipping service for the new combined order.
    • Similarly, when an order is split, each resulting order may be assigned a different shipping service based on its individual attributes.

    Ship with ERP/OMS

    TikTok Shop API will provide your Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)/Order Management System (OMS) with a public URL to retrieve the shipping label in PDF format. Simply make a few quick updates to develop the necessary automation to process the PDF and convert it into a format compatible with their specific printing equipment.
    For Sellers Using TikTok Shipping via ERP/OMSIf your ERP system is listed in the "Eligible ERP List" below, it means the ERP has already completed system integration with the TikTok Shop. Please contact your ERP provider to learn how to configure the settings within the ERP user interface.
    If your ERP system is not listed, please reach out to your provider promptly to coordinate with TikTok Shop for the required API integration or system upgrade.
    For Sellers Using Seller Shipping or TikTok Shipping Not Integrated with TikTok Shop API.
    If this is your first time integrating with the TikTok API system, please refer to the API Integration Platform for detailed documentation and guidance.
    If your ERP system is listed in the Eligible ERP List, here are the simplified steps to integrate your system with the TikTok API:
    First, your system should call GetOrderList API to get the list of orders and the 'GetOrderDetail API' to get order details (i.e. Order ID, product details, buyer details) — which are needed to prepare and ship the order.
    Next, use the GetEligibleShippingService API to see which shipping service to use for each order. For upgraded TikTok Shipping orders, this step is easy — the API will automatically return the correct shipping service, so you don’t need to choose.
    1. Get the order information:
    2. Check shipping options (automated for upgraded TikTok Shipping):
    image
    Call CreatePackage API to confirm the shipping service, assign a package ID, and create the shipping label.
    1. Create the shipment and shipping label:
    image
    Finally, use the GetPackageShippingDocument API to download the shipping label. (Please note: This only works after you’ve successfully created the package and purchased the labels through Create Package API in the previous step.)
    1. Download the shipping label:

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    Service Subscription

    1. CBT vs. TikTok Shipping— What’s the difference?
    • TikTok Shipping serves everywhere: TikTok Shop sorts orders, then you drop off or third-party courier gets picked up.
    • CBT is a door-to-door pick-up service only in Greater Los Angeles Area, East Coast and Texas. Warehouses need to sort orders, hold them separately, and wait for TikTok Shop to collect. Plus, you’ll get better rates.
    For more details, please refer to TikTok Shipping & CBT Operating Procedure.
    1. I’m currently using Seller Shipping. Can I switch to the upgraded TikTok Shipping?
    Yes! If your ERP provider has integrated with the upgraded TikTok Shipping system, you can follow the steps outlined in How to Upgrade your TikTok Shipping Account section to make the switch.
    If you’d like to join the CBT service, please refer to the TikTok Shipping Activation Guide. Our team will help enable access for you.
    1. Can I use TikTok Shipping for cross-border warehouses?
    Not yet. TikTok Shipping is currently only for US domestic warehouses.
    1. Can I use TikTok Shipping for some warehouses under my store, while keeping Seller Shipping for the others?
    Yes, you can. Simply register the warehouses you want to use with TikTok Shipping. Any warehouses not registered will continue using the original shipping method.
    1. If I have multiple warehouses, some participating in TikTok Shipping and some not, where will customer orders be shipped from?
    TikTok Shop will automatically determine the shipping warehouse based on the seller’s address and available inventory. The inventory and shipping fees shown to the seller have already been determined accordingly. If the seller sees inventory from a warehouse participating in TikTok Shipping, the order will be shipped from that warehouse; if the seller sees inventory from a non-participating warehouse, the order will be shipped from that warehouse.
    1. If I have two warehouses, one using CBT and the other using TikTok Shipping, how are the shipping and settlement prices determined?
    TikTok Shop will automatically determine the shipping warehouse based on inventory availability. The warehouse with available stock will be prioritized. If both warehouses have inventory, TikTok Shop will choose the one closest to the customer.
    • If the order ships from the CBT warehouse, the CBT rate will apply.
    • If it ships from the TikTok Shipping warehouse, the TikTok Shipping rate will be used for settlement.
    1. If my product has inventory in both a TikTok (FBT) warehouse and my own warehouse, how will it be shipped?
    For the same SKU,TikTok Shop will follow this logic to determine the shipping path:
    1. If there is inventory in the TikTok (FBT) warehouse, the order will be fulfilled from there first.
    2. If the TikTok (FBT) warehouse is out of stock, the system will use your third-party (3PL) warehouse to ship the order.
    3. If multiple 3PL warehouses have inventory, the system will choose the one closest to the customer for faster delivery.
    Please note: If an order contains two products: one in a TikTok (FBT) warehouse and the other in a TikTok Shipping warehouse, TikTok Shop will automatically split the order for separate shipments.
    1. Can I switch a TikTok Shipping order back to self-fulfillment?
    No, once an order is placed with TikTok Shipping, it can't be changed. If needed, you or the buyer will need to cancel the order and create a new one.
    1. My ERP is self-developed or not listed, what should I do?
    No worries. Check the ERP/OMS 系统发货 and US 新发货模式集成or contact us anytime!
    1. If I change my mind, can I opt out of the upgraded TikTok Shipping?
    Yes, you can. At any time, you may go to Seller Center and click “Switch Option” to change your shipping method back to Seller Shipping (self-fulfillment).

    Shipping

    1. Where do I print my TikTok Shipping labels?
    Go to Seller Center → Order Management → Print
    1. Do I still need to follow the shipping rules after using TikTok Shipping?
    Yes, you are still required to ship the order within 3 business days to avoid impacting your LDR. If the package is not shipped on time, it will not be eligible for OTDR exemption.
    Once the package is handed over and the pick-up scan is recorded, TikTok Shipping will take over responsibility for the rest of the logistics process. If the package is not delivered within 6 business days, it will not affect the seller’s OTDR score.
    For detailed shipping and fulfillment rules, please refer to the Guide to On-Time Delivery Rate (OTDR)
    For non-CBT orders, if there is no pick-up scan after handing the package over to the logistics provider, please contact your local logistics service provider to resolve the issue.
    1. How do I ship after joining TikTok Shipping?
    Keep doing what you’re doing!
    If you currently use the carrier’s pickup, keep using it.
    If you drop off at the carrier’s site, keep doing that too!
    1. Can I mix CBT packages with others when handing them to USPS or other couriers?
    No, CBT packages must go to the CBT courier. Mixing them up can cause tracking issues, and these orders will not be covered by TikTok's service protection.
    1. Why do I need to give the package to the right carrier?
    Our shipping service uses different carriers like FedEx, USPS and others, which can sometimes cause confusion about which carrier to hand the package to. It’s important to give the package to the carrier shown on the label so it gets delivered on time.
    If you give it to the wrong carrier, the package could be delayed, lost, or you might get extra fees. Always double check the label before handing it over.
    1. Can CBT couriers pick up non-CBT packages?
    No, CBT couriers only handle CBT orders. They won’t process other packages. Errors will not be covered by TikTok's service protection.
    1. My warehouse is an Amazon FBA site, can I use TikTok Shipping?
    Unfortunately, no. Amazon doesn’t support any third-party shipping labels. TikTok Shipping can’t be used with FBA.
    1. What should I do if the warehouse says the CBT carrier didn’t come to pick up the goods, or if there’s no tracking record after pickup?
    Pickup delays can occur for various reasons. CBT carriers will arrive on time as scheduled after confirming the pickup time and frequency with the warehouse. If a delay occurs, please follow the steps below to verify and handle the issue:
    Confirm whether the order is a CBT order. The logistics carrier for CBT orders will be displayed as "CBT" rather than any other carrier. Only CBT orders are eligible for scheduled pick-up service.
    There may be a time gap between when the seller clicks “Ship” in the system and when the warehouse actually completes packing and outbound processing. Please first check with the warehouse to confirm whether the operational instruction has been issued and if all items have been packed and shipped. Supporting documentation such as outbound records or photos of packed goods can help verify this.
    If the warehouse confirms that all goods have been dispatched but there is still a delay in pick-up, please reach out to the designated pick-up staff using the contact information provided below.
    1. Confirm the order type:
    2. Confirm the Warehouse Shipping Status
    3. Contact the Pick-Up Staff

            Order Management

            Once you print the label in Seller Center using the upgraded TikTok Shipping, the tracking information is automatically uploaded. Shipping status will be updated in real time, so you can easily follow your order’s progress.
            1. How do I split or combine orders?

            1. Can I change the warehouse after printing the shipping label?
            No. Once an order is created using the upgraded TikTok Shipping, the selected warehouse is fixed and cannot be changed.
            1. Can I set my own shipping fees for buyers?
            TikTok Shipping provides a standardized buyer-facing rate card, which cannot be adjusted manually. If you’d like to offer shipping discounts to your customers, you can do so through the Marketing Management module.

            • Log into TikTok Shop Seller Center

            1. How do I file a claim for a lost or damaged package?
            Submit a service ticket in Seller Center, our team will assist you.

            Billing

            1. How are shipping fees settled?
            TikTok deducts shipping fees from either your GMV or deposit. Billing happens after successful delivery & transaction completion. Sometimes you might see a second charge adjustment after the courier’s actual weight audit.
            1. Can I set my own buyer shipping fee?
            Not directly. The shipping fee charged to buyers is set by TikTok. However, you can set shipping vouchers in the marketing module!
            1. How is shipping weight calculated? Why is there a difference between the rate card calculator and the actual charge?
            TikTok Shipping calculates the shipping fee based on the greater of either the volumetric weight or the actual weight of your package. So if your package is large but light, the volumetric weight may apply, which could result in a higher charge than the estimate shown in the rate card calculator.
