SHOPLINE will soon launch the feature to integrate with TikTok, the world’s fastest-growing live stream platform. Merchants can explore and develop influencers’ markets, social shorts, and thus expand the target customer group.
This feature is currently available for merchants in Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, and Thailand.
In the case of cross-border merchants and stores, TikTok will approve your TikTok For Business account and Ads Manager Account based on the country/ region of the shop itself (MY/SG/VN/TH), instead of the location or IP of the party creating the accounts. When creating a TikTok For Business account, please fill in the contact details (such as address and phone number) of the shop region.
