Five ways to add products#

Pick the path that fits how many products you have.

Fill in the listing#

Trips brands up

The basic information TikTok scores every listing on.

  1. Images: 600×600 px or more, up to 9, 5+ recommended. Main image: no text
  2. Product name: 25–200 characters. Brand + details + scope + type + features
  3. Category to the last level, then Brand. Brand grayed out? It isn't authorized yet (step 2.4)
  4. Attributes: optional, but they raise listing quality
  5. Stuck? Seller Center's Assistant (top right) answers policy questions, or ask us
