TikTok Set Up Guide

Steps to successfully get your TikTok sales channel connected

Written by Daniel Little

In this guide, we will provide you with a comprehensive set of instructions that are easy to follow, ensuring that you can complete your TikTok set up efficiently and accurately.

⚠️ Supported regions: TikTok UK and TikTok US only

Link My Books currently integrates with TikTok UK and TikTok US only. TikTok EU regions (Germany, France, Spain, Italy, etc.) are not yet supported, so you will not see them as connection options in the app.

If you sell on TikTok EU and would like us to add support, please submit an integration request here: linkmybooks.com/feature-requests. We prioritise new integrations based on user demand.

Step 1: Connect to the correct TikTok account

Link My Books onboarding screen showing the step to connect a TikTok Shop account. The screen title reads 'Connect your TikTok Shop account' with a subtitle prompting the user to link their TikTok Shop with Link My Books. A text box labeled 'Account Name' is filled in with 'Test TikTok Shop'. Below it is a blue button labeled 'CONNECT TO TIKTOK'. On the left, a vertical step progress indicator shows 'Sign Up' and 'Select Seller Account' marked as completed, and 'Connect Sales Channel' as the current step. 'Connect Bookkeeping Account' is grayed out as the next step.

Step 2: Select the account type

TikTok Shop Seller Center screen showing the account type selection during the authorisation process. The heading reads 'Authorise' with step 01 highlighted: 'Select account type'. A notice explains that the user must log in with the Owner Account. Below, two account type options are listed: 'Asia seller' and 'Europe seller'. The 'Europe seller' section is expanded, revealing a selected region: 'United Kingdom'. A green button labeled 'Next' is shown at the bottom right with red arrows pointing to the expanded region and the button.

Step 3: Ensuring we have continued access rights

TikTok Shop Seller Center installation pop-up for authorising a third-party service. The modal is titled 'Install' and is on step 01: 'Install'. It includes a dropdown labeled 'Target shop' with 'Demo LMB' selected. Below, under the 'Duration' section, multiple options are shown: Unlimited, 1 Year, 180 Days, 90 Days, 30 Days, and Custom authorisation duration. The 'Unlimited' option is selected and indicated by a red arrow. Another red arrow points to a text box labeled 'Contact email', which is empty.

Step 4: Confirming authorisation to install the app

TikTok Shop Seller Center installation confirmation screen. The modal shows installation options with radio buttons for various authorisation durations like 1 Year, 180 Days, 90 Days, 30 Days, and Custom. Below, there are input fields for 'Contact email' and optional 'Contact phone number' with a UK prefix selected. A checkbox is ticked, agreeing to data sharing terms. At the bottom right, a teal button labeled 'Confirm to install' is highlighted with a red box and arrow.

Once you have connected your bookkeeping account you are ready to go! Data can take up to 48hrs to fully import over depending on the number of settlements - but it's usually much quicker than this.
