Log in to your TikTok account or sign up for a new one.
Authorize TikTok For Business to connect using your TikTok account.
After connecting your TikTok account to TikTok on BigCommerce, you will need to connect your TikTok for Business account to BigCommerce.
If the TikTok account you connected with TikTok on BigCommerce is already linked to a TikTok For Business account, there is no action to take.
Otherwise, you will need to register for a new TikTok For Business account or log in to an existing one.
Having successfully connected your TikTok For Business account to BigCommerce, you will be prompted to connect (or create) your TikTok Business Center.
To create a new TikTok Business Center, click Create New under the Business Center section. To connect an existing TikTok Business Center*, select one that belongs to your TikTok For Business account and click Connect.
Then connect your TikTok Ad account.
To connect to an existing TikTok Ad Account one associated with your TikTok For Business account, click Connect.
To create a new TikTok Ad Account, click Create New.
After successfully connecting your TikTok account, TikTok for Business account, TikTok Business Center, and TikTok Ad account, you will need to set up the TikTok Pixel.
If you have never added a TikTok Pixel to your BigCommerce store, click Create New.
If you have installed a TikTok Pixel using Developer Mode within the last 2 months, remove the existing Developer Mode Pixel from your BigCommerce store, return to the integration installation and click Create New.
If you have installed TikTok Pixel using Developer mode more than 2 months ago, click Create New. Then after you set up TikTok on BigCommerce, remove the newly installed TikTok Pixel - click here for more instructions.
After setting up your TikTok Pixel, enable Advanced Matching to improve the match rate between clicks on your TikTok ads and the conversion that happen on your website.
If you disabled the newly installed pixel, you won't be able to leverage the Advanced Matching feature.
