This feature helps sellers boost their operational efficiency by recommending advanced operational apps that align with their business needs, especially for DTC merchants.

Benefits:

How It Works

We're making it easier than ever to discover and install apps that fit right into your selling journey on TikTok Shop. Here's a peek behind the curtain at how we bring these recommendations to you:

1. Smart Recommendations, Just for You: We use a clever system that looks at your current operational flow and data on TikTok Shop. This helps us figure out which apps, especially in categories like reviews and customer service, will make the biggest difference for your business. For instance, if you're a seller and haven't installed a review app on TikTok Shop, but you're rocking one on Shopify, we know just the right app to suggest!
2. Appearing Where You Need Us: We're embedding these recommendations directly within your key operational pages. You'll also see prompts after you've listed products or if you have LIVE products without reviews. This isn't just about showing you apps; it's about providing timely, contextual guidance exactly when you might need it to boost your efficiency.
