Pinning LIVE Coupon

Summary

What are LIVE Coupons on TikTok Shop and how do they benefit sellers during livestreams?

  • LIVE Coupons are automatic promotional discounts shown during livestreams, funded by TikTok or sellers, to boost viewer engagement and sales. They attract more viewers, create urgency, improve conversion rates, and help build brand loyalty.

How do sellers activate and manage LIVE Coupons during their livestreams?

  • Sellers must add eligible products linked to coupons into their shopping bag during a LIVE. Coupons become visible to all viewers equally and can be pinned/unpinned via the Creator Center app or LIVE Manager console once the livestream starts.

How do viewers find and use LIVE Coupons during a livestream?

What are the key steps for pinning and unpinning LIVE Coupons on TikTok Shop?

  • Log into Creator Center or LIVE Manager, access the Coupon tab, and pin available coupons once live. The pin button is disabled before going live. Expired coupons must be unpinned to avoid showing outdated offers to viewers.
