  • Step 2: Understand the interface. The tool is divided into 3 main panels:
    • Shop Design Modules (left panel): Choose what type of content to add, such as images, products, flash sales, etc.
    • Shop Preview (middle panel): See a live view of how your shop will look on the app.
    • Settings (right panel): Customize each module (images, text, layout settings, etc.)
image
  • Step 3: Add modules to your shop page. Drag modules from the left panel into the center preview area.
    • Visuals: Banners, logos, and product images
    • Products and categories: This includes smart product collections, such as Top products, New releases, Our picks for you, and Categories. We'll auto-fill these sections with the right products based on what’s trending, what’s selling, or what’s newly listed. There's also custom product collections, including Featured Products, By category, and Collection, which you can build and arrange manually.
    • Promotions: Flash sale and Special deals
  • Step 4: Add a header image. Your header image is one of the first things shoppers will see on your shop page. A good-looking header can help increase visibility and improve trust with shoppers. The system automatically checks that your header image is clear and high quality. If not, it won't appear in your shop. If you're a verified seller, you'll have the option to add a header with your logo, brand name, or a high-quality image to showcase your brand. Here's how to upload and customize your header:
  • Step 4.1: On the right-hand side of the page, find the Layout panel. Click on Header at the top of the module list to open header settings.
  • Step 4.2: Click Upload Image under Background image.
    • Recommended dimensions: 780 px (width) x 720 px (height)
    • Max file size: 2 MB
    • Supported formats: JPG, JPEG, PNG
  • Step 4.3: Add your shop logo (optional but recommended)
    • Under Logo, click Upload Image (or choose Text if you prefer)
    • Use a clear logo with a transparent or white background
    • Supported formats: PNG, WEBP
    • Max file size: 2 MB
  • Step 4.4: Your header will appear in the live preview (center panel). Make sure the text image are easy to see and not cut off.
  • Step 5: Use product collections to drive conversions. Product collections are one of the best ways to organize your products and help shoppers discover more of what they want. With the latest layout updates, creating collections is easier than ever. You can create collections in 3 different ways:
    • Option 1: Auto-generate collections (recommended)
      • This is the easiest way to get started. TikTok Shop will automatically suggest and build product collections for you. Auto-generated elements include:
        • Collection title
        • Product list
      • You can still edit the layout (horizontal/vertical), product ratio, and more.

  • Option 2: Use a template
    • Use pre-built templates for popular or high-performing collection types, such as:
      • New Releases
      • Promotions
      • Top Sellers
    • The system will automatically fill in your collection title, description, and product list. This is great for seasonal events or quick promotional setups.
    • Option 3: Create a collection manually
      • For full control, build a custom collection rom scratch. Add your own:
        • Collection name
        • Description
        • Cover image
        • Product list
      • This is great for unique bundles, limited drops, or themed product groups.

      • Step 6: Preview and save your design. As you build, you'll see real-time updates in the center preview.
      • Step 7: Once you're happy with the layout and content, click Publish in the top-right corner. Your new layout will go live immediately. You can always return and edit it later.
