Overview

To help Shopify sellers streamline their product listing experience, we’re introducing new features aimed at simplifying and accelerating the product setup process for new onboarding sellers.

Key Enhancements

  • Attribute Pre-Fill: This feature saves sellers time by automatically pre-filling product attributes, reducing the manual setup needed for each listing.
  • Quick Sync Product Feature: A new syncing option that allows sellers to list products faster with minimal manual input.

Auto-Fill Syncing Process

For new onboarding sellers, products will now be automatically imported, prefilled with required attributes and synced from Shopify to TikTok Shop. Before the sync begins, product listings will be pre-filled with suggested shipping dimensions, including weight, length, width, and height, ensuring a seamless setup.
Follow the steps below to get started

Steps to Start the Process:

  1. Connect Your TikTok Account
    • Navigate to the account settings and click on Connect Account to link your TikTok account.
    • Note: Auto-sync will NOT activate until the connection is established and Warehouse and Onboarding verifications are complete.

  2. Auto pre-fill Process
    • After connecting your TikTok account, the pre-fill and auto-sync processes will start, with the toggle set to ON by default.
    • To stop auto-syncing, you can switch the toggle to OFF if you prefer manual syncing.
    • If the toggle remains ON, the system will continue to pre-fill and auto-sync product attributes for any Shopify products with existing values.

  3. Warehouse Step and Onboarding Completion
    • Auto-sync will only begin once you have completed the Warehouse Setup and Onboarding verification is approved in your Shopify account.

  4. Verify Pre-Filled Attributes
    • Once the pre-fill attribute sync is complete, sellers will see a Green Icon on the Edit button next to each auto-filled product, indicating the attributes were successfully pre-filled.
    • This Green icon signifies that product attributes (such as Weight, Length, Width and Height) have been pre-filled successfully
    • You can review and edit these attributes by clicking Edit next to each product.

  5. Check Product Dimensions
    • Click on any product to review the shipping dimensions (weight, length, width, height) which have been imported from Shopify to TikTok Shop.
    • Check Brand field as auto-fill defaults to No brand option. If you have Brand authorization, do choose your authorized Brand from the drop-down

FAQs:

Q: I am stuck at 15% or 30% or 45%. How should I proceed with the sync?

This is expected if the seller has larger product catalog with product attributes on Shopify. However, if the seller is stuck at any stage (15% or 30% or 45%) in the sync process, please reach out to AM or TikTok Seller Support team
