Understanding the Unleashed-TikTok Shop Integration

How the Integration Works (API-based, third-party connector)

Integration is achieved via a third-party connector like TIDE, which uses secure APIs to connect Unleashed and TikTok Shop. This enables seamless communication between platforms – handling product data, orders, and inventory in real time.

Key Data Points Exchanged (Products, Inventory, Orders)

Through TIDE, products listed in TikTok Shop are automatically mirrored in Unleashed. Stock levels are constantly updated, and incoming orders from TikTok Shop flow straight into your inventory system for fulfilment.

Pre-Integration Preparation

Setting Up Your TikTok Shop Account

Product Catalog Readiness on TikTok Shop

Start by setting up a polished product catalogue. That means clear product names, compelling descriptions, accurate pricing, and great imagery. Your TikTok audience shops visually, so quality matters.

Payment and Shipping Configuration

Next, configure payment methods and shipping rules inside TikTok Shop. Ensure you’re offering reliable delivery options and clear return terms to build buyer trust.

Preparing Your Unleashed Account

Accurate Product SKUs and Descriptions

Double-check that SKUs and descriptions in Unleashed match what’s being used in TikTok Shop. Even small mismatches can disrupt data sync.

Configured Warehouses/Locations

Ensure all warehouse and stock location data in Unleashed is correct. This helps streamline fulfilment when orders start flowing in from TikTok Shop.

Considerations for Direct vs. Connector Integrations

TikTok doesn’t offer a direct connection to Unleashed, so a third-party tool is essential. TIDE is purpose-built to simplify integrations like this – offering user-friendly setup, dependable support, and real-time syncing that keeps things running smoothly.
