How to transfer ad accounts in Business Center

Last updated: July 2024

Transferring an ad account to the Business Center enables you to manage its access permission and billing from the Business Center. Once transferred, this ad account will be owned by your Business Center, and all management will need to be conducted in the Business Center.

Before you begin

You must be a Business Center admin to transfer ad accounts in your Business Center.


Note: You can only transfer an ad account that is not owned by any other Business Center, and cannot reverse the transfer once it's complete.

How to transfer ad accounts in the Business Center

  1. Go to Advertiser accounts and click Add Advertiser Account.

  2. Select Transfer and click Next.

  3. Paste in the Account ID you'd like to transfer and click Next.

    • You can also choose to send an email notification to the ad account owner asking for approval.

  4. After sending the request, ask the account admin to accept the request in TikTok Ads Manager.

    • If you are also the ad account owner, the request will be automatically approved.


We recommend that you only transfer ad accounts that are owned and used by your business. If you are trying to work on ad accounts for other businesses, i.e. a client's, consider requesting access instead.
