TikTok Shop is one of the biggest shopping platforms in the world, and you can start listing and selling products today to start making money online with TikTok Shop. I'm going to show you how to import products from a third-party
Speaker A
supplier, how to edit those products to optimize the titles and the descriptions so your products can be found by customers on TikTok Shop, and how to automatically fulfill your orders so you can simply focus on listing more products and making more sales. So,
Speaker A
let's get straight into it. The first thing you're going to do is head to TikTok Seller Center and create an account. You can sign up with your email address, a TikTok account, or a Google account. I already have a TikTok Seller
Speaker A
Center account, so I'm simply going to log in. Once you're logged into your TikTok Seller Center account, the next thing we want to do is connect a drop shipping supplier to our TikTok Shop so we can start importing and selling
Speaker A
products. The supplier platform we're going to use to import products to our TikTok Shop is called AutoDS. I'll leave a link in the description to AutoDS, and you'll be brought over to this page where you can get a trial of AutoDS for
Speaker A
just $1. The import plan will allow you to import up to 200 products to your TikTok Shop, and this starts at just under $20 per month. So, we're going to click on get started, and you can create an AutoDS
Speaker A
account. I already have an AutoDS account, so I'm simply going to log in. Once you're logged into AutoDS, you can connect your AutoDS account to your TikTok Shop to begin importing and drop shipping products.
Speaker A
From your AutoDS account, click add store in the top right corner. Choose TikTok Shop and click continue. Choose which region your TikTok Shop is based.
Speaker A
So, I'm based in the UK, so I'm going to choose other countries and hit continue.
Speaker A
You'll then be brought over to TikTok Seller Center and be asked to choose your region again. My account is under the Europe seller tab, so I can click on this, choose the United Kingdom, and click next. You'll be prompted to
Speaker A
install the AutoDS app onto your TikTok Shop. So, click confirm to install and then click authorize.
Speaker A
You'll then be brought back to AutoDS. From here, head back to TikTok Shop, click on the logistics tab, click on warehouses, and click add warehouse. You can enter in your own address as your warehouse address. Then head back to
Speaker A
AutoDS and click continue. Now we're ready to import our first product from AutoDS to TikTok Shop. From the AutoDS marketplace, you can use the filters to find an appropriate supplier.
Speaker A
As my TikTok Shop is based in the UK, I'm going to filter the suppliers to look for UK-based suppliers that ship to the UK. And I'm also going to choose AutoDS suppliers.
Speaker A
You can now scroll through all of the products until you find a product that you want to push to your TikTok Shop and begin selling. So, I've chosen this polo neck sweater as the product to import to my TikTok Shop.
Speaker A
You can click on import as draft and edit manually to begin editing the product before pushing it to your TikTok Shop. Then click on view in drafts. From here, you can begin editing the product before you push it to your TikTok Shop.
Speaker A
You can start out by optimizing the product title using AI. Make sure stock monitoring is turned on.
Speaker A
This means if the product goes out of stock, it will automatically be removed from your TikTok Shop.
Speaker A
Live price monitoring should also be toggled on. This means if the supplier's price changes, you can edit your sale price accordingly so you maintain your profits.
Speaker A
Also, leave auto order on so your products will be fulfilled automatically via AutoDS. You can also edit the product description using the AutoDS AI optimizer tool. This helps you to rank your TikTok Shop's products higher when customers are looking for them. Next up
Speaker A
comes the variants tab. You can bulk edit the variants of your product. For example, this polo sweater comes in various colors and sizes, but I want to sell all variants for the same price.
Speaker A
So, select all of the variants and click the pencil icon to edit all of them at once.
Speaker A
I'm going to change the sale price to $29.99, so all of the variants of my product are listed for the same price.
Speaker A
Next up, come to the images tab and select the images of the product you want to use for your TikTok Shop listing.
Speaker A
Finally, you can add any item specifications if you want to, and then click save and import. The product may take a few minutes to push to your TikTok Shop. After a few moments, the product will sync from AutoDS through to
Speaker A
your TikTok Shop. You can now head to your TikTok Shop, click on the products tab, and click manage products.
Speaker A
You'll see your product under the reviewing tab. In most cases, your product will be reviewed fairly quickly, but in some cases, it may take a few days for your product to be reviewed by TikTok. Once your product has been
Speaker A
reviewed, it will then be set to live and be displayed under the live tab.
Speaker A
Your product is now live on TikTok Shop and available for purchase by any customers. Next up, let me show you how order fulfillment works once a customer purchases a product from your TikTok Shop. So, when a customer orders a
Speaker A
product from your TikTok Shop, you can come to the orders tab within TikTok Shop and click manage orders.
Speaker A
You'll see the customer's order saying awaiting packing. You can now head to AutoDS to fulfill this order.
Speaker A
So, from AutoDS, click on orders. You'll see the customer's order saying pending under order status.
Speaker A
You can click on the drop-down and choose send to auto order. It will then say in order progress.
Speaker A
AutoDS will now pack and ship the product to your customer. For auto order to work, you need auto order credits. So, make sure your auto order credits are topped up. You'll also need to make sure your AutoDS balance is
Speaker A
topped up in order to pay for the order that you want to fulfill. If you have any issues, you can reach out to AutoDS's customer service at any point. So, there you have it. That is how you can start drop shipping on
Speaker A
TikTok Shop. If you have enjoyed the video, give it a big thumbs up. Subscribe to the channel for more drop shipping and e-commerce content, and hopefully I'll see you in the next one.
