Summary

What are the main TikTok Shop LIVE promotion tools available for sellers and creators, and how do they help increase engagement and sales?

TikTok Shop offers LIVE Flash Sales, LIVE Coupons, Creator LIVE Deals, Creator LIVE Giveaways, and Creator Exclusive Prices to boost urgency, participation, and conversions during livestreams by providing limited-time deals, exclusive discounts, and interactive giveaways.
These tools help sellers host their own LIVE sessions or partner with creators to extend reach, add social proof, and convert new audiences with exclusive offers and real-time incentives.

How can sellers set up a LIVE Flash Sale and what are the key requirements and steps involved?

Sellers with official accounts can set up LIVE Flash Sales via Seller Center by registering their LIVE session, selecting products with the lowest discount price in the past 14 days, and scheduling the promotion with a unique name and period; unlimited products can be added on PC, with limits on app and TikTok selections.
Prices must be lower than recent discounts or original prices if no order history exists; the promotion includes a 5-minute pre-launch countdown to engage viewers and create urgency.

What are the specific steps and conditions for setting up Creator LIVE Flash Sales and Creator Exclusive Prices?

Creators or marketing accounts can create Creator LIVE Flash Sales by entering promotion details, selecting products by SKU, and collaborating with up to 50 creators; prices must be the lowest in 14 days, and reserved stock is locked during the sale.
Creator Exclusive Prices require a minimum 5% discount, allow purchase limits, and share inventory across multiple creators, with real-time stock updates to ensure transparency and control.

What tips and best practices can sellers use to maximize the effectiveness of LIVE promotions on TikTok Shop?

Announce upcoming deals during LIVE sessions to build anticipation, use countdown timers to retain viewers, and offer better pricing than standard discounts to drive maximum impact and conversion.
Combining limited-time offers with interactive elements like giveaways or coupons can increase viewer engagement, watch time, and sales velocity during livestreams.

How do LIVE Coupons and Creator LIVE Giveaways function, and what benefits do they provide to sellers during livestreams?

LIVE Coupons are time-limited discounts claimable only during LIVE, set with minimum spend and applicable to the whole shop or specific products, helping attract viewers early and boost quick conversions.
Creator LIVE Giveaways run interactive prize contests during LIVEs to spike comments, sustain traffic, attract new viewers, and keep audiences engaged until the end, increasing watch time and conversion rates.
