A product catalog for TikTok Shop, attached to the advertiser account you choose.

TikTok separates the login from the advertiser account that owns catalogs. After OAuth, Scout lists the advertiser accounts you can reach and you select the one whose catalog should receive your products.

How Scout connects

What Scout does for TikTok

01

Publishes a catalog feed in TikTok's product specification and keeps it current on your schedule.

02

Reads product review outcomes and item issues and normalizes them into Scout's vocabulary.

03

Maps Shopify images and variants to TikTok's grouping so a product appears once with its options.

What TikTok requires that others don't

  • An advertiser account with catalog access; a personal login alone is not enough.
  • Vertical-friendly imagery is favoured in placements — Scout can pick a specific image by rule.
  • Product review by TikTok before items show; Scout reports review state per product.

Scout's starter template for TikTok pre-maps these from Shopify where a mapping exists, and its diagnostics name the field when one is missing.
