TikTok Launches TikTok Shop in the US, Transforms Online Retail
TikTok is finally launching its retail aspirations with TikTok Shop for all users in the US after years of testing and rumors. The business aims to transform the culture of online shopping with motivating hashtags like #TikTokMadeMeBuyIt. On the app’s home screen, a Shop button now connects users to a marketplace. With a few clicks, a user can purchase items without exiting the app. Additionally, some of the products will have a Shop button in the films that will take viewers to the store. The corporation is placing a big gamble with this decision because it hopes to generate a new revenue source in the US, where the app has over 150 million users, by leveraging the app’s cultural influence.
TikTok Shop blends the strength of community, creativity, and commerce to offer a seamless buying experience while empowering brands and creators to interact with avid consumers based on their interests. The launch of a retail portal on a social networking platform is nothing new. The Shop tab was previously introduced by Instagram in 2020. It allowed customers to browse the brand’s Instagram photographs and videos and make purchases. The tab, though, was dropped earlier in March.
TikTok Shop
With TikTok Shop, the company offers users a way to enjoy the thrill of finding and buying new things without ever leaving the app. It has created easy-to-use tools to assist businesses in making this a reality. TikTok Shop is a separate tab that users may use to search for and find various things, explore goods in various categories, and handle their orders.

Shop Ads
New TikTok Shop Ads give sellers more possibilities to advertise their TikTok Shops so that users may find them and make purchases there.
Fulfilled by TikTok
TikTok Shop stores pick, pack, and then ship sellers’ products to clients as part of their new logistics service. This allows retailers to concentrate on their own products.
Secure checkout
To ensure a quick, simple, and secure checkout procedure, TikTok collaborates with reputable third-party payment platforms to enable transactions on the TikTok Shop. All US user data that is safeguarded by TikTok is kept in the country and maintained by USDS.
The social media site can gather more user data through its Shop tab, including addresses, financial data, and purchasing preferences. However, TikTok has stressed that all data gathered from US customers is maintained in the nation and managed by USDS, a distinct institution responsible for handling user data. TikTok is already under fire for its ties with China and has drawn criticism for it.

Several well-known e-commerce platforms, including Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magneto, and Salesforce Commerce Cloud, have connected with TikTok Shop. As a result, it should be simple for current online merchants to begin selling on TikTok without starting from scratch. In order to promote omnichannel businesses, TikTok has also worked with a number of multi-channel platforms, including Channel Advisor and Feedonomics. Vendors can use apps from companies like Zendesk, Printful, Yotpo, EasyShip, and others to enhance TikTok Shops’ functionality and capabilities.
Influencer marketing and social commerce in the future
Although the TikTok shop has a lot of potential, concerns around data privacy will always exist. The corporation faces a challenging task in maintaining a positive user experience while upholding privacy and security concerns, largely because of previous incidents involving user data. In order to protect users’ security and privacy, TikTok uses reputable third-party payment platforms. Integrating customer contact with e-commerce, as each interaction may result in a direct sale or an affiliate commission. Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and the UK are among the nations that have access to TikTok’s online marketplace.

Walmart Connect Partners With Snap, Roku And TikTok To Measure Online Shopping Ads
Walmart introduced a series of “Innovation Partners” that can support measuring how social media and CTV ads affect sales. For the first time ever, the retail giant is expanding its ad reach beyond its own eCommerce platform. Walmart Connect announced a new “Innovation Partners” category. This category will include video-specific measurement deals with TikTok, Snap, Roku, Fireworks, and TalkShopLive. This partnership will help to measure any sales that come from ads.

Expanding their ad business
In recent times, Walmart has expanded impressively and has a $2 billion ad business. As Walmart’s ad business rebranded to Connect last year, it’s added new partners and ad tech companies since settling on The Trade Desk as a DSP tech provider. Advertisers and brands can buy ads with Walmart data through The Trade Desk, Walmart’s ad platform. The company added eCommerce search ad specialists such as Pacvue, Skai, and Flywheel Digital as partners in 2021. The Walmart Connect program also welcomed 14 additional analytics and ad optimization companies in July.
In the expansion mode, the retail media platform partners with TikTok and Snap to measure social commerce, Roku for CTV ads, Firework, and TalkShopLive for live shopping content. Seth Dallaire, executive vice president and CRO of Walmart, wrote in a post,
“As the media funnel continues to collapse, advertisers are realizing the opportunity to reach shoppers on leading platforms where they are increasingly spending their time.”

The Innovative Partners
Walled gardens like Roku, TikTok, and Snap aim to demonstrate their ad platforms’ value.
The Snap agreement is a “first-of-their-kind type partnership”. It will bring advertisers Snap Ads, Collection Ads, and Snap AR with Walmart Connect geo-based measurement of omnichannel sales lift. This is the first time advertisers can buy Snap ad units through Walmart Connect and get in front of the unique Snapchat audience (75% of 13-34 year-olds in the U.S.), who hold over $1.9 trillion in spending power.
TikTok and Snap will not have their inventory available through The Trade Desk’s Walmart DSP. They are walled gardens and as a result, no outside programmatic trading desks are allowed.
The first-to-market pilot between TikTok and Walmart Connect will provide advertisers with the opportunity to serve in-feed ads on TikTok, leveraging the impact of TikTok’s sound-on full-screen video format together with Walmart Connect’s targeting and measurement.
Unlike other walled gardens, TikTok’s ad platform is widely regarded as under-attributing its own revenues. Whereas, other walled gardens generally over-attribute in their own favor. The reason behind this is that TikTok uses last-click attribution and a session-length attribution window, so it will miss sales if users don’t click and convert immediately.
Walmart recently partnered with Roku to make TV streaming the next e-commerce shopping destination. Streamers can purchase featured products fulfilled by Walmart directly on the streaming TV platform. Walmart Connect will connect brands to customers through the T-commerce platform on Roku. Advertisers will receive insights on the effectiveness of Walmart Connect measurement.
Walmart is also working with live video platforms with sponsored brand placements- TalkShop Live and Firework to produce online sales programming on Walmart.com. Walmart is testing the new service on brands such as J&J, P&G, and Samsung, among others. The program on Walmart Connect’s advertising platform is not automated but a managed service. Brands will get the performance reports of how ad campaigns influenced sales on TikTok, Snap, and Roku.

A tight race
With its ad platform, Walmart competes with Amazon, which has also invested in live shopping programs. In addition, Amazon’s roaster of talent streams sales events, most prominently on holidays and Prime day. Roku and Pinterest have already partnered with Kroger to enter the market, and Kroger’s own ad business has been expanded with PubMatic and Magnite.
Marketers and publishers are keen to discover how consumers react to social media advertising by making purchases or engaging with it. Even though social commerce is still in its infancy, Walmart’s partnerships with social media platforms show that they are proving that their ads do lead to sales. Rich Lehrfeld, Walmart SVP and GM of the Walmart Connect group told AdExchanger,
“Over time you’ll see our partnerships starting to expand into different areas that are really what our advertisers, or what we call our customers, as well as suppliers and sellers are asking us to do because they love our measurement.”
Advertisers can leverage Walmart’s unparalleled first-party omnichannel data to deliver measurable sales performance. Furthermore, it integrates with several PPC management tools that are used by eCommerce businesses.

Pinterest is enabling video assets in their product catalog to give Pinners a view of the product from multiple angles when making a purchase decision and driving conversions. They have witnessed promising results from video-like ad formats vs. static formats (increased CTR by 158%, lowered CPC by 42%, lowered CPA by 58%) on the platform.
Shop Tab on Business Profiles

With the integration with Shopify, that owns the payment data, Pinterest sends organic traffic to retailers and merchants’ websites or enables add-to-cart and direct payments. Pinterest affiliate fees can be collected by creators (“pinners”) in conjunction with the sales they drive through their in-image product tags.
Other than the Shopify partnership – which has become a standard integration for social media players – Pinterest, and the market as a whole, show many encouraging signs for the company’s commerce goals.
