TikTok for Shopify: Warehouse Creation & Mapping

08/19/2025

TikTok Shop Integration

Summary

What are the key improvements introduced by the new warehouse mapping logic for TikTok Shop sellers?

  • The update simplifies Shopify location management by removing the need for manual modifications, reduces onboarding errors, and allows selective warehouse mapping instead of automatic syncing of all warehouses.
  • Sellers gain enhanced control to independently set up and modify warehouse mappings anytime, improving flexibility and accuracy in fulfillment settings.

How should new and existing TikTok Shop sellers map warehouses between Shopify and TikTok Shop during onboarding or after adding new warehouses?

  • New sellers onboarding via Shopify have all warehouses auto-synced initially but can map new warehouses later; existing sellers without prior mapping must manually map warehouses before syncing products.
  • Sellers map warehouses by selecting "Set up," editing warehouse addresses, saving mappings, and then proceeding to product sync; re-installing the app allows re-editing of mappings if needed.

What steps can existing sellers take to manage or update warehouse mappings after initial setup?

  • Sellers can change default warehouse locations or add new warehouses via Shop Settings → Fulfillment → Edit, then map new Shopify warehouses to TikTok warehouses and save changes.
  • A notification banner alerts sellers of new warehouses needing mapping, guiding them to update settings promptly to maintain accurate fulfillment data.

What are the implications of the new warehouse mapping logic for sellers’ operational efficiency on TikTok Shop?

  • By enabling selective mapping and error-free onboarding, sellers can avoid syncing irrelevant warehouses, reducing complexity and potential fulfillment errors.
  • The ability to update mappings anytime ensures sellers maintain accurate warehouse data, supporting smoother product syncing and order fulfillment processes.

Overview

The new warehouse mapping logic provides enhanced flexibility and control over warehouse creation. This update allows sellers to modify automatically created warehouses and guides them through the process of setting up warehouse mapping independently.

Core Capabilities

  1. Simplified Shopify Location Management
    • Sellers are no longer required to modify anything in Shopify locations, streamlining the process and reducing complexity.
  2. Error-Free Onboarding
    • The new logic eliminates warehouse error issues during onboarding, ensuring a smoother setup experience.
  3. Selective Warehouse Mapping
    • Sellers now have the ability to choose which warehouses they wish to map and sync to TTS, rather than the system automatically syncing all available warehouses.
Here’s how sellers can map warehouse details:

New TTS seller initial onboarding without a warehouse on TikTok Shop

For new seller who has onboard to TikTok from Shopify, all the warehouses are automatically synced over from Shopify to TikTok Shop. The seller can later map when a new warehouse is added after onboarding.
