When TikTok first launched it became popular quite quickly, creating chaos, it was like marmite, some loved it and some hated it. Scrolling through short clips became an addictive pastime for many and it wasn’t long before brands and businesses realised the potential to grow their business on the platform, many even going on to become ‘TikTok famous’. Today, TikTok’s position in the ecommerce world is promising.
TikTok’s journey to fulfilment

It enables merchants, brands and creators to showcase and sell products directly on TikTok through in-feed videos, LIVEs, and the product showcase tab.
