This guide explains how to connect your Click & Drop account to your TikTok shop. This will allow you to import, manage, and generate postage labels for your TikTok orders.
While you can log in to your TikTok Seller centre during the connection process, it can be quicker to make sure that you are already logged in before you follow these steps.
Important note: To ship your orders with Click and Drop, ensure that you have disabled Standard Shipping in your TikTok Shop Shipping Options page, and have enabled Shipped by Seller. If this option is not enabled, there may be limitations on the data that Click & Drop can import from your store.
