Once TikTok’s new store goes live in the U.S., users will gain access to a dedicated e-commerce tab within the app. This tab will feature a comprehensive range of products from TikTok’s existing third-party store and its own store. Furthermore, users will be able to manage their purchases and track their orders directly from this tab.
While TikTok undeniably boasts tremendous success as a social media platform, venturing into e-commerce may present challenges. TikTok appears to be aiming not only to curate inventory for the online store but also to establish an independent distribution and supply chain management system to deliver goods to consumers. These facets of e-commerce have already been mastered by rivals, making it a formidable task even for well-resourced companies to achieve seamless operations from the beginning.
Considering the relatively modest performance of TikTok’s existing TikTok Shop, this new move could be a strategic shift to test the waters in the fiercely competitive e-commerce space. However, TikTok needs to address more than just consumer interest when launching its e-commerce platform. Observing how the U.S. government perceives this move will be intriguing, particularly since TikTok has indicated that many of the items it plans to sell on the platform originate from China.
