Why scale TikTok Shop to $100K matters for Shopify brands
Shopify sellers already have products, inventory and customers. Growth stalls when a few videos carry the shop and there's no system to replace them.
The goal is not just more TikTok Shop GMV — it is more total contribution margin across Shopify and TikTok Shop.
