Summary

What are the key steps for sellers to smoothly migrate from third-party apps to TikTok Shop for Shopify?

  • Sellers should enable Holiday Mode to pause operations, revoke third-party app authorizations, connect to TikTok Shop for Shopify, synchronize product listings, reactivate their store, and finally deactivate Holiday Mode.

How does enabling Holiday Mode facilitate the migration process, and what should sellers know about its use?

  • Holiday Mode temporarily sets warehouse inventory to zero, preventing order issues during migration. It’s recommended to set it for a long duration but is optional if sellers want to keep their shop open. Sellers must deactivate it after migration.

What is the process for disconnecting third-party services before switching to TikTok Shop for Shopify?

  • Sellers revoke third-party app access via the TikTok Shop Seller Center under the ‘Growth’ tab by selecting ‘Apps and Services’ and confirming cancellation of authorizations.

How can sellers ensure their product listings are properly synchronized after migration?

  • Sellers should follow the detailed instructions in the “How to link TikTok Shop Seller Center Products with Shopify Products” guide to update and sync listings accurately on the new platform.

What resources are available if sellers encounter issues or need further assistance during the migration?

  • Sellers can access the TikTok Help Center or contact customer service for support, and consult the TikTok for Shopify onboarding and uninstall guides for detailed migration help.
This guide is designed to assist sellers in smoothly transitioning from third-party applications to the TikTok Shop for Shopify, our first-party integration. Follow these steps carefully to ensure a seamless migration process.
