TikTok

This is one of the worst channel apps on the site. The API is terrible and does not understand your product data, and it will use its terrible AI to guess what products are based on titles and descriptions, which is often completely useless.

The app itself is a laggy, buggy mess, and manually editing dozens or even hundreds of products is a nightmare. Way, way too many fields are "mandatory" that are completely irrelevant to the actual product being listed.

Unless you already have a customer based on TikTok, you should seriously consider whether this is worth your time. It wasn't worth mine.

I work in I.T. full time and I can't figure out this stupid app. First once I connected my Shopify to Tiktok it started trying to sync my whole product list. I had no say what so ever. So of course you start getting sync errors when it's trying to add over 1000 items at once without you even setting anything up. So after handling that I created a template to test out. Created it and then its not even an option when trying to sync a product. I can see them in templates setting, but nothing shows up when editing the products. Now I can't even add a product without receiving some type of error, and no customer service whatsoever.

You work long and hard to establish a presence, and as soon as you start to earn some orders they will give you meaningless violations and hold your funds for 365 days!

All my orders have been shipped and delivered without a single issue. Now after months of selling, they ask for intrusive personal information even when they have already verified the business and have all the business certifications and tax documents. If there was ever an issue, why would you let me start to sell in the first place?

They have ZERO customer service and support. I will close the TikTok Shop and uninstall the app.

Customizing the dataset for TikTok and meeting its specific requirements is still a challenging process, but it's come a long way compared to previous years. I've seen meaningful improvements in the platform, and overall, I feel optimistic about how we've set up PlayMakar products on TikTok Shop.

There was confusion with the phone number. It wasnt clear if it was asking for my personal or the companys numbers. Also, the section for creating a pixel when I already had one but was not getting approved was strange. So I created another one.

I am having a lot of product sync issues and cannot get support from tiktok. When listing new products on shopify they will not compile to the sync list and there is no sync new products tab like there is in the help videos.

Zero customer support. They have a chat box that remains unanswered. Their shop mangement page has an error. It shows to refresh or content customer support. Customer support does not respond. Tiktok orders transfer into Shopify with astericks so we cannot see the full address.

It was difficult to navigate at first. I don't understand why the seller center and business center is not connected. They are not easy to find. Overall the rest of the set up was easy.

My variants will not map correctly. Anytime I manually map, if any updates happen to the product, it will create an orphan product and break the mapping.

I have tried working with their support and had it escalated only for the ticket to be closed without any help. When I opened another help ticket, it was immediately closed again.

I have been attempting connect my TikTok shop for more than a month. The directions and guidance is contradicting. The seller module is not user friendly. I'm going to end up taking my shop elsewhere because I'm unable to upload products, get a business verification or connect the correct account. I wanted to give zero starts but I was forced to give one star against my will.
