Where TikTok Shop fits
For TikTok viewers who buy without leaving the app, TikTok Shop's in-app product links are hard to beat. If you are eligible and your audience is mostly on TikTok, use them for TikTok Shop products.
Where Tapixy fits
Tapixy covers what in-app tools cannot: viewers on YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels, products from partner stores outside TikTok, and creators below TikTok's follower threshold. Tapixy does not tag TikTok Shop products: TikTok videos work as looks, and their items link to partner stores such as AliExpress.
Using both
Below TikTok's threshold, a clickable TikTok bio link needs 1,000+ followers or a free TikTok Business Account, so start by putting your storefront in your YouTube and Instagram bios. Once eligible, use TikTok Shop's in-app tools for TikTok viewers and your storefront for every other platform and store.
Questions
Can I sell TikTok Shop products on Tapixy?
No. Tapixy does not tag TikTok Shop products. You can still turn your TikTok videos into looks and tag the items from Tapixy's partner stores, such as AliExpress, without a TikTok seller or affiliate account.
Does Tapixy work for YouTube and Instagram too?
Yes. Tapixy builds shoppable looks from YouTube Shorts and videos, Instagram Reels, and TikToks, all on one storefront.
