How to launch Drama Series via TikTok Business Account

Step 1: Register and log in

  1. You can create an account using a TikTok account or an email address. Go to the TikTok Drama Center and choose your preferred method.

    1. If you choose to log in with your TikTok account, we recommend linking an email address in the platform's backstage settings after your first login.

Notes:

  • If you have an existing account on the legacy domain (www.tiktok.com/content-partner) created with a TikTok account, you must log in to the new Drama Center domain for the first time by selecting Continue with TikTok and using your main account from the legacy domain. After logging in, you can link an email address.

  • If you want to use the same email for both your TikTok app account and the Drama Center, first log in to the Drama Center with your TikTok account and then link the email address on the platform. Do not register directly on the Drama Center with that email, as this will create a new, separate account and prevent you from linking it to your original TikTok account.

Step 2: Create an organization

  1. From the left sidebar, click Enterprise Verification and then select Verify New Enterprise.

  2. Enter your organization's information. The account that completes this step will become the Super Admin for the organization.

Note: Choose a recognizable organization name that is not already in use on the platform. You will also need to select the TikTok Short Drama business representatives you are working with.

Step 3: Verify your business entity

  1. Complete business entity qualification verification. This is a mandatory step for signing agreements, uploading content, and receiving payments.

Step 4: Submit vendor information and payment account

  1. In the Enterprise Verification section, select your enterprise.

  2. Click the Vendor Information and Payment Account tabs to submit the required details.

Note: The business entities for verification, vendor information, and payment account must all be consistent.

Step 5: Sign a contract

  1. Before signing, ensure your business entity verification and vendor information have been submitted and approved.

    1. If you do not have a business representative: Go to Enterprise Cooperation > Contract Management and submit your contract signing information. A signing agreement will be sent to your provided email address.

    2. If you have a business representative: Notify your representative after completing the previous steps. They will send the signing agreement to your email.

Step 6: Upload and post content

  1. Once you have completed registration, verification, and contract signing, you can begin uploading content.

Step 7: Settlement

  1. Review your financial statements and manage payments through the platform.

    1. The statement for the previous month is generated by the 20th of each month.

    2. Payouts are processed within 5 business days after your invoice is submitted and approved.

Step 8: Associate a TikTok Account

  • Ensure the TikTok account you are using has the permissions to publish and manage TikTok videos, especially Mini Drama, on the TikTok Advertising Platform.

  • Tip: For multi-account Series authorization in Business Center, an administrator can add Series-specific permissions for TikTok accounts in the BC's permission settings.

    • First-time binding : Click Add TikTok Account in Business Center to authorize.

    • Existing binding : Edit the existing TikTok account's permissions to include Series access.

Tip: For more information and help getting started, reach out to your TikTok account manager.
