TikTok Shop Dropshipping Just Got MUCH Easier

I've said it before and I will continue to say it until someone proves me wrong but Tik Tock shop Drop Shipping is the biggest opportunity in the world of Drop Shipping in the last decade if you spend any time on Tik Tok you'll see not only are there tons of products for sale on the actual Marketplace when you actually navigate to Tik Tok shop but even on your foru page there are so many videos that Tik Tok are pushing towards consumers that actually demonstrate the products that you can buy directly on Tik Tock shop so without a doubt this is a huge part of Tik tok's overall plan for their app and increasingly we are seeing a lot of drop shippers jumping onto the platform and making a lot of money Drop Shipping on the Tik Tok shop now already if you know what you're doing on Tik Tock shop as a drop shipper you can do very well but in the past there were some difficulties with it that luckily have become a lot easier so in this video I'm going to show you exactly how you can get set up with Tik Tock shop Drop Shipping and how much easier it's become so to get started the

first thing you're going to need of course is a Tik Tock shop so just navigate to business. Tik tock. com and go ahead and get signed up now I'm not going to walk you through the exact setup process for this because they pretty much walk you through it there are a lot of steps involved and it will take you some time to get set up just because there's several verification steps that you need including things like tax verification so just start this process early give them all the information that they ask for so that in a few days hopefully you will have a Tik Tock shop up and running now by default

when you set up a Tik Tok shop Tik tok's going to assume that every time you sell an item you are going to be shipping it from your home address so they will allow you to print out shipping labels that you can then put on the package and ship out yourself now as drop shippers that's not what we're going to do if you're not familiar with Drop Shipping the way it works is we are going to be listing up products for sale that we don't own or have in stock instead they are in stock with our supplier then once the item sells on Tik Tok we will go ahead and then purchase it from our supplier who will ship the item directly to the customer so we can't print out shipping labels because we don't have the item we are actually going to have our supplier ship the item so we need to change that setting inside of Tik Tock shop so inside of here I came to the Fulfillment settings section and it says default action for label creation and printing and it says I'm going to do that all manually right so I click here and this gives you the choice of either doing it yourself which is the way I have it set up or the recommended way by Tik Tok which is that you print out labels from Tik Tok which is not the way that you want it so make sure you have it set to manual and click on save that way you are actually able to have Drop Shipping work on Tik Tok shop

now like I said before our suppliers are the ones who are going to hold the inventory and are actually going to ship the items for us so the question becomes what is the supplier who is actually going to do this fulfillment for us so in the world of Drop Shipping there are so many different ways you can handle this but for Tik Tock shop what we found is the best way is to use another retail website think amazon. com walmart. com ebay. com something like that why well one all those websites are going to ship items to customers really fast which is necessary for Tik Tok also they're always going to give you good tracking numbers if you know what suppliers to use and it's just great customer service you as an individual or if you're working with a wholesale supplier you're not going to be able to ship out your items fast enough for Tik Tok but these other retailers can do it for you now there are so many different to choose from but the ones that the one really that I recommend above all else right now is ebay. com believe it or not eBay just has such a huge variety of different items for sale and a lot of the items that they sell are similar to the types of items that do really well on Tik Tock shop so there's really great Synergy between the two marketplaces really great alignment between the different products that sell well in addition to that eBay sellers are required to use the same type of tracking numbers that are required by Tik Tock shop so you know that anytime you buy something from eBay you are going to get a good tracking number that's going to work on Tik Tock shop as well so that's why I recommend eBay as my top supplier to use for Tik Tock shop

now once you actually do some product research and find a good item you want to sell on Tik Tok like this one right here the question now becomes how do you actually list it for sale on Tik Tok and this is where things have changed for the better recently you see I've always used this software right here autods to run all my drop shipping stores this allows me to drop ship on eBay it Facebook Marketplace and it even allows me to drop ship on Shopify if I want and Amazon and in the past we were able to get this to work with Tik Tok by using Shopify so in other words this software would link up with Shopify so I would actually list items into a Shopify store and then Shopify had a direct connection with Tik Tock shop meaning that any items I had in Shopify could be listed into Tik Tock shop the process worked it was like a three-step process it was a little bit clunky but it did work well now things have gotten much easier because that now there's a direct connection between autods and Tik Tock shop which means that I can put items directly into autods and they will instantly be listed in my Tik Tok shop without needing a Shopify store let me show you how this works and then you'll have a better understanding of why this is so powerful so I've already set up an autods account and by the way if you want to try this out for yourself they did agree to give you guys a special $1 trial if you use my affiliate link which be down in the description of this video so go ahead and click on that link and get signed up and during the setup process it's going to ask you hey what Marketplace you want to sell on make sure you select Tik Tok then it will actually have you link up with your Tik Tok shop so that the two platforms will talk to each other instantaneously so I've already done all that my autods account is set up so now if I want to add a product all I have to do is navigate to the product on eBay and I'll go ahead and copy down the URL for this product go ahead and copy that then returning back to autods I'll click on ADD product right here and click on single product now in here I will paste in the URL for that product on eBay and then I'll click this orange button that says edit now so what autods has now done is it brought everything from eBay like the photos the title the description and brought it all over here into autod DS and allows me to edit all them it also takes the price of the item on eBay and marks it up enough based on the way I have my settings in autod Dias so that way when I actually sell the item on Tik Tok the price will be higher than it is on eBay high enough to cover the price on eBay additional fees by Tik Tok and enough so I actually make a profit as well so let's go through all this I like to spend a few minutes optimizing this to really make it stand out on Tik to and to increase the chances that people actually buy it so first up is the title now what's really great is the title that's given to you by eBay is usually really good for Tik Tok and again it's because we have that Synergy between eBay and Tik Tok because they're such similar marketplaces so this title is cat pet Igloo cave en Clos cover tent house removable cushion bed Hideout so what this eBay seller did was they took all these keywords that they know people are going to be searching for when they're looking for a cat bed and they just crammed it into this title which is actually a very good method to be using for eBay and Tik Tok but what I like to do is I like to make sure that the first few words really describe fully what this item is on their own so what is this at it's very basic it's a very core this is a cat bed or maybe an enclosed cat tap bed right then I can add like a dash and all the rest of the keywords are coming up after that and then what I'll usually do is a lot of times I'll spend like a few extra minutes trying to add some additional keywords I can use some software to help with that but coming over here you know this is orange so I'll put the word Orange in there right orange and any other keywords that I think people would be searching for when they're looking for this so cushion maybe in there it's already in there yeah so this is a pretty good title the way it is I'm not going to spend a ton of time on it next up we have the category luckily autod DS will automatically detect what the category is and 99% of the time it gets it right and here we have it right again under pet supplies dog and cat Furniture beds sofas and mats that is a perfect category for this product it will automatically add tags you don't have to ever worry about that it will automatically select the cheapest tracking method and it automatically puts in does not apply for the brand now the final thing is down here on this page it says monitoring so here we have three types of monitoring stock price and auto order so I always do stock and price monitoring so what that does is after we list this product on the Tik Tok autods has now created a connection between this listing on eBay and our listing on Tik Tock shop so if this item goes out of stock on eBay or the price changes on eBay that will automatically be updated in our Tik Tock shop directly so it doesn't have to be delayed like it would be if it was first going to Shopify and then to Tik Tok no it's a direct connection so it will directly update that in Tik Tock shop for you and this is really important because if this item goes out of stock on eBay you don't want to sell it on eBay because sorry on Tik Tok because then you won't be able to buy it on eBay in addition if this price goes up you don't want to sell it at the lower price and lose money and luckily autods protects against that by turning on these monitors right here so moving on we then have the description right here there we go and as you see it just brought over the description from eBay I'll spend a quick minute looking at this making sure there's nothing in here that I don't want so for instance it has a brand name right here I'll just delete that there's any warranty information or references to leaving feedback or return information I'll delete all that as well but this one's looking pretty good then we can see all the different variations if there's different variations this one's only available in one color so we're only seeing that one and you see it does say out of stock here but that's normal and what will happen is once you actually list it autods will we scan it again see it's in stock and then it will be listed as in stock in your Tik Tock shop next up we have the images here so what this does is it brings in all of the images from eBay right here and we see that there are four images and then what it will do is when it actually lists it will duplicate all of the images until there's at least 12 images that way you have lots of images on Tik Tok which really helps the algorithm and finally item specifics which we never have to deal with so that's it that's all it takes to actually optimize this listing then I can go ahead and click on Save and import and that item will be live in my Tik Tok shop then someone can

buy this item from me on Tik Tok I'll get notified about it on autods I'll be able to see all my orders and I can then come over here to eBay order the item and have it shipped directly to my

customer on Tik Tok so there you go that's how you can now run your entire Tik Tock shop drop shipping business using just autods and without the extra step needed with Shopify now the key piece of this that is missing is how to actually find the best products to sell so if you want to learn how to do product research for Tik Tock shop Drop Shipping make sure to check out this video right here because inside of it I show you how to find products to drop ship on the Tik Tok and without that you will never have a successful store because you need to be selling the right products so click right there and I'll see you there in just one second
