Establish account ownership
Keep the business as the account owner. Grant team and agency access through the available permission tools instead of sharing the owner’s password. Record who manages tax, orders and product edits.
Configure operational settings
Follow the official setup guide for warehouse and return addresses, shipping options, product uploads and tax information. Verify that your warehouse can meet the selected service requirements.
Link and test integrations
Link the appropriate official TikTok account and, where suitable, the Shopify connector. Confirm which system owns stock and product data. Test the available order and inventory workflow before promoting the shop.
Your next action
Create an access register and run a shop-readiness audit.
