Docs / TikTok Shop Sync / Start

Getting started

Install Kizing, connect TikTok Shop and go live in about ten minutes, with a dry run before anything changes.

Kizing keeps one Shopify store and TikTok Shop in step. Setup is a guided assistant in the app; a support agent watches your first run and is in the chat panel if you get stuck. Nothing changes on TikTok until you press Go live.

Before you start

A Shopify store, and owner or staff access with permission to install apps.
A TikTok Shop seller account you can approve apps for.
Your products in Shopify with SKUs. Barcodes help too. See SKU matching.
If another TikTok connector is installed, leave it running for now. Setup handles the switch. See the migration guides.

Set up

Install Kizing from the Shopify App Store and open it from your Shopify admin.
Press Connect TikTok Shop and approve access on TikTok's own screen. See Connect TikTok Shop.
Review SKU matches. Exact matches are linked; anything unsure is set aside in "Needs review".
Map each TikTok warehouse to the Shopify locations that ship its orders, and set buffers if you want them.
Open the dry run and read it: stock changes per SKU, how many products would go to zero, orders it would create.
If you're switching from another connector, work through the switch-off checklist.
Press Go live.

What happens next

Stock changes in Shopify reach TikTok within about a minute.
TikTok orders arrive in Shopify once TikTok releases them for shipping, with every item, tagged "TikTok Shop".
The first hourly check runs within the hour. The setup assistant posts a short summary, for example: "Stock: 212 SKUs in sync. Orders: 3 imported. Nothing needs you."
After a week you get a summary of the first seven days.
