What is Shopify?

Shopify is an all-in-one commerce platform that lets businesses build an online store and sell across multiple channels, from a website and social media to marketplaces and in-person point of sale. It serves everyone from solo entrepreneurs to enterprise brands, with a built-in checkout (Shop Pay), inventory and shipping tools, and an app store of over 21,000 apps. The company was founded in 2006 and is headquartered in Ottawa, Canada.

How Shopify works with TikTok

Through the free official TikTok channel app, Shopify merchants sync their product catalog to TikTok Shop and manage TikTok Shop orders and inventory directly inside the Shopify admin. Merchants can create TikTok ads in minutes using their own images or videos with demographic, event-based, and AI-powered targeting, and connect the TikTok Pixel with a single click for conversion tracking and ad optimization. This lets brands run TikTok advertising and in-app shoppable video or LIVE commerce side by side, funneling shoppers to either their Shopify store or TikTok Shop.
