Where to find the TikTok Shopping tab
One of the first examples is already online: Kylie Cosmetics.
Owned by reality TV star Kylie Jenner, Kylie Cosmetics is a beauty brand that sells makeup. If you access their @kyliecosmetics TikTok profile from the TikTok mobile app, you will see the new shopping tab. For her, it’s somewhere between a stream of videos she’s posted and all her tastes. “I built my business on social media,” Jenner said in a press release. “This is why I am delighted that Kylie Cosmetics is one of the first to allow customers to shop directly from our TikTok!”
Publication marking and verification
As part of this pilot, Shopify and TikTok will bring product links to Shopify merchants. They can be used to tag products in posts, then TikTok users can choose to purchase directly from the merchant’s storefront or click on a tagged product in a merchant’s video to go to their online store for payment.
When will TikTok Shopping be available?
The TikTok Shopping pilot is currently available for Shopify merchants in the US and UK. A selected group of merchants in Canada will be added to the pilot project in the coming weeks (so by September 2021). The feature will be rolled out to other regions in the coming months, TikTok said.
