TikTok

Does not allow relinking of products and we cannot link our Tiktok products to their correct Shopify products. We have reached out to Tiktok many times regarding this problem and no one can help remove them. Only orders with linked products seem to show in our Shopify orders so we still have to constantly check Tiktok shop for new orders. Have tried deleting the app and reinstalling as well with no luck. Inventory does not sync correctly and app constantly asks you to map products that you cannot map because there is no way to unlink a previous product even if it was linked to an incorrect listing. Show old orders saying they require attention even though they have already been shipped.

Tik tok has made it such a hard platform to use. This is the third time that they’ve closed my store and I finally was invited to TikTok shop and had my Shopify my products ready to sync over and out of the blue. I woke up one morning and my shop was closed would not let me appeal it it said it was closed andFebruary this is August and for the last few months I’ve been selling on my business page and I was on TikTok shop all the sudden closed one morning and said had been since February it’s August btw now so a.i or whatever sucks Boone to ever talk to or no real help if you have an issue not even worth it at this point m about to give up

Same problem with TikTok it never approves your shop, all my documents are valid but it is the same thing over and over. Only app that we have this problem with.

We've been in business for over 22 years and probably have about 20 apps in our Shopify store. We advertise on every medium possible. We've never experienced so much difficulty or lack of support as we have with this application and regardless of what information we supply to their "support" team, we get no resolve. They want social security numbers, Tax IDs, all locations, all application information, etc. I just counted over 200 emails to support requesting assistance and support continues to provide circular and repetitive unhelpful responses.

This has been one of the most exhausting experiences in my life. Opening or trying to open a Tiktok shop was pure hell.
no one at TikTok will help you, try to open a ticket and the system, asks you over and over to verify yourself even though you already have.

Finally get to email with someone from support and they can't or won't answer a question.

Products, all of my products are both active and under review at the same time. Some get declined but no clear answer as to why. If that isn't bad enough click the marketing tab and all those products are approved.
you can do better tiktok

Really really bad, took too long, no help, repeat typing over and over again and doing again here. No help, bad for a small business....too much work and waste of tie for what it is worth sadly

Not a good platform to use. I tried several time to upload my information, it doesn't matter if its bills , driver licence, or passport. I've been charged over $200.00 bucks and have not even set up my account for advertising because I was waiting on approval. But each day that goes by it's another $50.00. And still haven't made a TikTok ad. I reached out for help and well that useless waiting for a reply. I sync my products and the indexing just plan sucks. With 418 error out of 682, I could not index even though it was indexed for Google and SEOAnt with 100% index with SEO. After i corrected all the indexing problems by category, it still wanted more information, and right now it's easier just to get out while I can and not pay for a service I'm not getting. If I could give no STARS I would do that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~!~

Well, its been rejecting my ID verification saying my unaltered CC statements and bank statements are "Altered" again and again. They are downloaded straight from my bank (a major US bank)... So... Not sure whats up. Ive looked them over, they look fine. Ive tried 10+ times with different unaltered documents, doesnt matter. Sometimes it just rejects it saying they cant verify with no mention of altering.

We've never had this issue with any other shops/platform.

Not sure if this is some system/ai/computer error or some kind of incompetence on the human side because no one responds to tickets/emails over there. Might update if TT ever figures this out and fixes it.

Update: Finally (by basically, shear luck) got through account setup-- and their actual shop works the same as the faulty verification system. They use an AI to police for policy violations, and it falsely hands out violations, and appeals are sometimes successful, other times instant fail. If you try dealing with CS they are absolutely powerless to tell you why items were taken down, and have no ability to override the almighty computer AI. This is some pure dystopian nonsense.

i would leave this app a negative 5 stars if I could, this app has major issues that need to be worked out, and when you try to reach out to TikTok they will try to throw you onto Shopify, it might be just me having bad luck with the app but it wouldn't categorize anything, wont auto map anything, then you will have to go back and fix everything if you made a mistake, then you have to optimize everything then finally you might have the luck to upload everything, this app seems like it belongs in the late 90s or early 2000's this app is trash

I was invited to create a shop through Shopify. I was so excited to open this new sales channel, but I soon became so disappointed. I connected everything through my Shopify account but didn't realize that TikTok required additional information, even though Shopify already had ALL that information. They permanently closed my account. After trying to chat for help to see if anything could change this, I was told there wasn't a solution. Not something any business owner likes to hear. Now, the only way I can activate a new one is to create a new email and phone number. This makes it easier to create fraudulent accounts. No wonder so many consumers say they buy things and end up getting knockoffs on TikTok. I would never buy anything. I will not set up an account until they let sellers reopen accounts.
