Auto-Link Products From TikTok Shop to Your eCommerce Platform

Plans: All plans Platforms: All platforms

Overview



After the initial onboarding to the AfterShip Feed app, all the products on your TikTok Shop store will be imported into the app. You can enable the Auto-link product SKUs feature to let the app automatically link SKUs between TikTok and Shopify that share the same SKU ID.

How the product auto-linking works



As you enable the auto-link feature, your choice will have two effects on the app's performance.

If you enable Auto-link products, the auto-link feature will take effect, and all the products (including the newly added ones) imported from your TikTok Shop and eCommerce platform store will be auto-linked if they share the same SKU IDs.

If you disable the Auto-link products, the auto-link feature will not take effect, and you need to manually link the products between your TikTok Shop and eCommerce platform store

You can enable or disable the auto-link feature as and when you want. You can set this feature from one of the two places on the admin.

Enable product SKUs auto-linking



App onboarding: Sync settings



On the AfterShip Feed homepage, once you are finished connecting your eCommerce store and TikTok Shop store(s), the last step of the process is to configure your sync settings to ensure that products and orders can be synced between your eCommerce and TikTok Shop stores easily.

One of the sync settings is the Auto-link products feature. When enabled, this will automatically link products with the same SKU between your TikTok Shop store and eCommerce store so that orders can be fulfilled on your eCommerce platform.

Shift the toggle to the right under Sync settings to enable the Auto-link products feature during onboarding.



Apart from the onboarding modal, you can set this feature from the Settings page.

AfterShip Feed admin home page



Go to Settings in your AfterShip Feed admin.
Select Channel settings > Product sync.



Enable the Auto-link products SKUs functionality.



SKU linking implications



If two SKUs are linked, our app will regard them as the same SKU. This will have the following effects on your product and orders.

When you edit the price and inventory of the linked products on your eCommerce platforms, they will be updated automatically to TikTok Shop's linked products

When orders are generated with the linked products on TikTok Shop, the same orders will be synced back to your eCommerce platform. Our app creates orders on your eCommerce platform stores for those products that are linked to the TikTok Shop's products
