What's my Fulfill by Seller TikTok Order Type?
How to Set-Up TikTok & ShipHero
Important things to note:
1. All TikTok products must have a Seller SKU associated or we won’t be able to import your Products and Orders. The TikTok Seller SKU maps to the ShipHero SKU. It’s our primary way of identifying your Products across all Sales Channels.
2. Seller Shipping/TikTok Shipping is selected at the account level. It's not possible to select Shipping for some orders, and TikTok Shipping for others.
3. If this setting is changed in Seller Center, the change will only apply to orders received after the change. Any previous orders would have the previous setting applied. e.g. If you change from Seller Shipping to TikTok Shipping on Nov. 8, any orders placed before Nov. 8 would still need to be shipped by selling user Seller Shipping.

Shipping Options and SLA Requirements
For all shipping options, orders must be delivered on or before the business day requirements to be eligible to ship with the desired option.

TikTok Shopping Options | End-to-End Delivery Requirement |
Express | 4 Business Days |

You can use the TikTok Shipping Options to setup ShipHero Order Automation Rules to assign your order to a specific Shipping Service or a Custom Shipping Profile defined by using our RateShop+ feature.
If you have a lot of carriers connected, we encourage you to setup a Shipping Profile, because TikTok supports a handful of carriers. You can only generate labels for those respective carriers in order for us to automatically send the Shipment Notification and Tracking details back to TikTok.
The supported TikTok Shop logistics partners that merchants may select from are: USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL ECommerce, Amazon Logistics, AxleHire, Better Trucks, Deliver-it, GLS US, Lasership, Lone Star Overnight, Ontrac, Spee-Dee Delivery, TForce, OSM Worldwide, Global Parcel Service (GPS), and Wizmo.
NOTE: Merchants are able to revise shipping provider information once, and only within 72 hours of initially uploading a tracking number. This means that if you make a mistake and need to void and regenerate a label, TikTok will only accept ONE update within 72 hours and NO update after 72 hours.
The package must be picked up within 24 hours after the order has been packaged, the label generated and the tracking number uploaded to TikTok via our automated shipment notification.

NOTE: Clients must addd TikTok as a Carrier. In the case of 3PLs, the client that owns the TikTok Shop has to add TikTok as a Carrier.
