TikTok Live Shopping: A New Page in E-Commerce

Social Media
With over a billion users on its inception, the TikTok app launched TikTok Live Shopping, which it has been working on for nearly a year. As social media accounts become an e-commerce network, TikTok has entered this market and changed its lane, and if things go as planned, it looks like it will prove its ability to become the fastest growing social platform in this area.

Tiktok, which is already competing in many powerful applications in the e-commerce field, has launched ‘live shopping’ events by looking at internet shopping from a different location.

With the opportunity to shop only through the app without opening a separate tab for its users, the TikTok app makes it a great convenience for both parties who want to take advantage of this market.  Originally launched only for Shopify-based sellers in the United States, UK, and Canada, the Live Shopping plug-in is currently preparing to partner with different applications in many countries.

It is not wrong to say that TikTok’s e-commerce audience, which is one of the highest popular practices in the eyes of generation Z.  With the Live Shopping channel, where creators act as a bridge between brands and users, the e-commerce tab is intended to reach buyers quickly and easily.  

Since TikTok announced that Live Shopping will be spread to a wide network at the TikTok World event, which took place in September 2021, there have been many question marks on both user and brand channels.  The first was whether each TikTok user would have the Live Shopping tab.  Responding to this question urgently, TikTok explained that in the future, each brand could create a shopping channel by setting up a click for Business account with the click-Tok profile. 

TikTok, which can also be integrated with different shopping channels, comes with an innovation that can be used in conjunction with high-user e-commerce applications such as Shopify.  It is not wrong to say that TikTok Live Shopping is strong proof that innovation and transformation in e-commerce will never end, giving users the chance to shop through TikTok or by referring to the brand's website.

In Live Shopping, which is both fun and commercial, we can say that brands who want to attract the attention of TikTok’s user audience should have an impressive profile and website in the first place.  The account profiles that need to be equipped, like a store window, are one of the most important factors that drive buyers.  You can contribute to your TikTok Live Shopping adventure by including professional-eye product photos, clear and 34-character product titles, and content text that users can get detailed information on. 

Collaborating with influencers with a high number of followers and quality and consistent shares is another detail that those who want success in e-commerce on TikTok should not miss.  Choosing creators who share and collaborate to fit your products will give you a great advantage in brand awareness and availability at this point.
