How To Sign Up For A TikTok Shop Affiliate Account
1. Go to Your TikTok Profile
Open the TikTok app on your device and click on your personal profile. If you don't have an account yet, then you'll have to sign up!
2. Navigate To The Creator Tools
To access the monetization features on TikTok, tap the menu icon in the top-right corner and select 'Creator Tools' from the options provided.
3. Click On 'TikTok Shop for Creator'
The TikTok Shop for Creator option within the Creator Tools section allows creators to apply for the TikTok Shop affiliate program.
Clicking “Apply” initiates the application process, which involves TikTok reviewing your profile for compliance with their criteria.
4. Ensure You Meet The TikTok Shop Requirements
Creators looking to join TikTok Shop must be a minimum of 18 years old and have at least 5,000 followers to successfully apply in the USA. If you're in the UK, then you'll only need a follower count of 1,000 to apply.
5. Submit Your TikTok Shop Application
Go through the TikTok Shop application form and fill out all of the details.
The typical duration for the approval process after application submission is between 1 to 3 business days. Most creators are approved within the first day.
5. Search For Trending TikTok Shop Products
After you've applied, you should start thinking about which products you want to promote. Then when you're approved you can start promoting straight away.
If you want to see what products are trending without doing manual product research, you can use a tool like ShopTokker. It will show you all the sales data for trending products and give you sales scripts to improve your conversion rate.

6. Start Making Content When You're Approved
When you're approved as a TikTok Shop creator you can start adding affiliate links to your TikTok videos immediately.
Your video content should be engaging and talk about the benefits of the product you are promoting. You can include products in videos and livestreams, so there's plenty of opportunities for creators to promote affiliate products.
Don't forget: you need to add your shoppable link in your video before publishing!
7. Add Affiliate Products To Your Product Showcase
Here's one of my best tips for creators: promote multiple affiliate products!
TikTok Shop will let you add lots of products to your profile and people often scroll through your showcase and buy additional items, which can increase your affiliate sales.
