How to connect Shopify to TikTok Shop? [2025]

OneCart connects your Shopify store to TikTok Shop with automatic inventory sync, seamless order processing, and the ability to cross-post products between platforms. Manage both stores from one dashboard and expand your reach without juggling multiple seller centers.

Running a successful Shopify store and wanting to tap into TikTok Shop’s explosive growth? You’re not alone. But the thought of managing inventory, orders, and product listings across two completely different platforms can be overwhelming.

The traditional approach means double work: updating stock in two dashboards, manually recreating product listings, processing orders from different systems, and constantly switching between platforms to keep everything synchronized.

In this guide, we’ll show you exactly how to connect Shopify to TikTok Shop using OneCart’s integration platform, turning platform management chaos into streamlined operations.

Why Connecting Shopify to TikTok Shop Matters

Expand to younger demographics – TikTok Shop reaches Gen Z and millennial customers who may not discover your Shopify store.

Leverage video commerce – Take advantage of TikTok’s video-first shopping experience while maintaining your existing Shopify operations.

Centralized management – Stop logging into multiple seller centers and manage both platforms from one dashboard.

Real-time synchronization – Keep inventory, pricing, and product information consistent across both platforms automatically.

Scale without complexity – Add TikTok Shop to your sales channels without doubling your operational workload.

The Manual Way vs. the Smart Way

The traditional approach means setting up TikTok Shop separately, manually recreating your entire product catalog, building separate inventory tracking systems, and constantly switching between platforms to manage orders and stock levels.

The smart way is using OneCart’s integration platform, which connects both platforms and manages everything from a unified dashboard.

How OneCart Connects Shopify to TikTok Shop

Here’s the exact process:

1. Connect both platforms

Link your existing Shopify store and TikTok Shop account to OneCart with one-time API connections that take minutes to set up.

2. Sync your product catalog

Import your Shopify products into OneCart, then cross-post selected items to TikTok Shop with all images, descriptions, and variations intact.

3. Enable inventory synchronization

Set up real-time inventory sync so when products sell on either platform, stock levels update automatically across both stores.

4. Centralize order processing

All orders from both Shopify and TikTok Shop flow into OneCart’s unified order management system for faster fulfillment.

5. Configure pricing strategies

Set the same prices across platforms or create platform-specific pricing to optimize for each audience.

6. Monitor performance

Track sales, inventory levels, and profitability across both platforms from OneCart’s comprehensive reporting dashboard.

Example: Fashion Brand Expansion

Imagine you run a successful fashion brand on Shopify with 300 products. You want to test TikTok Shop but don’t want to recreate your entire catalog manually.

Manual approach: Recreate 300 products individually on TikTok Shop (40+ hours) + build separate inventory tracking + manage two order systems = weeks of setup and ongoing double work.

OneCart approach: Connect platforms (10 minutes) + sync catalog (20 minutes) + enable auto-sync (5 minutes) = Total setup: 35 minutes, with ongoing unified management.

Bonus: Beyond Just Shopify and TikTok Shop

OneCart’s power extends far beyond connecting just two platforms. You can integrate:

Source platforms: Shopify, Shopee, Lazada, TikTok Shop

Destination platforms: All of the above plus Amazon, WooCommerce, Magento, Zalora, Decathlon, RedMart, Fairprice

This means your Shopify catalog can become the foundation for expansion across multiple Southeast Asian marketplaces, not just TikTok Shop. Connect up to 50+ shops or more, all managed from the same dashboard.
