Welcome! Once your TikTok Shop registration is completed, you’ll need to complete a few essential setup steps before you can start selling. This guide walks you through exactly what to do.Go to “Set up your shop”After approval, you’ll see a Set up your shop page in the Seller Center Homepage.
Here you can:

• Track your setup progress
• See which tasks are required before you can sell
  
  

Step 1: Add warehouse address (Required)

This step sets up how orders are fulfilled and returned. You need to determine your shipping and return addresses.What you need to do

1. Go to Add warehouse address
2. Review the recommended address
   • This is usually the address you entered during registration
3. Choose:
   • Use this address if your products ship from there, or
   • Add new address if you ship from a different location

After you confirm the address, TikTok Shop creates your warehouse and automatically checks how shipping should be set up for your shop.
What happens nextAfter your warehouse is created, TikTok Shop checks whether shipping is ready to use or if additional setup is required.

• If shipping is ready → continue to Add product
• If additional setup is required → you’ll be guided to complete shipping setup before listing products

This depends on your warehouse location and local shipping requirements.
How shipping is handledTikTok Shop automatically selects a shipping method for you:

• 4PL (Shipped via Platform):

TikTok Shop manages shipping for you. No shipping setup is needed.

• 3PL (Shipped by Seller):

You manage shipping yourself by setting up carriers and shipping templates.
This is why some sellers can start selling immediately, while others need to complete one extra step.

Step 2: Add your first product (Required)

You must list at least one product to activate your shop. There are different ways you can upload your first product:

• Add products manually
• Sync them from third platforms such as Shopify
• URL-Listing (not available for sellers registered in Poland or Netherland)

Step 5: Open EU Shops

TikTok Shop offers a unified Seller Center that enables you to sell across five EU markets: Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Ireland. With one account, you can list and sell products seamlessly across these regions. When you open a shop in one EU country, you can expand to the other supported EU markets.
While optional, you can add additional details during account setup to prepare for cross-border selling:

1. A shop name for the new country
   • This can be the same as or different from your existing shop name
2. Customer service contact information
   • So customers in that market can reach you with questions or issues
3. Product, warehouse, and logistics information
   • Your existing products, warehouses, and shipping setup can be reused or adjusted after the shop is created

💡 You can always review which countries are available to you and manage your shops in Seller Center.
