Confirm readiness and authorization
Review the current Product GMV Max guide. Confirm account access, eligible products, inventory and eligible creative authorization. Use product economics to define how much cash you can risk, rather than assuming an ad target protects profit.
Set an operating plan
Record the test objective, budget and review cadence. Select products you can fulfill reliably. Maintain a diverse, rights-cleared creative supply and record major campaign edits so performance changes can be interpreted.
Read the whole business
TikTok attributes organic and affiliate orders for selected products to GMV Max under its documented rules. Review shop-wide orders, settlements, spend and contribution. Do not directly copy a paid-only ROAS target into GMV Max and assume equivalence.
Your next action
Write a test plan with a spend ceiling, reporting window and contribution check.
