How to open US tiktok shop if I am living abroad?

It's not possible unless you are a citizen of that country/ but only way is to buy from an authentic supplier that's it
 
Hello Guys,

I want to sell print on demand items in USA tiktok shop. All of the supplier is coming there of course and ready to ship. But I am based overseas Philippines. I want to know how can I do this if my credentials is here. Can I change my target tiktok shop to US?

Do I need to buy a USA tiktok shop account istead? but how would be the withdrawal proccess of that.

Thank you in advance for the replies. Cheers!
I would suggest just old fashioned Shopify store + TikTok ads! But idk! GL anyways:) you might need US Social Security number n stuffs but as I said idk :(
 
I originally set up my TT account in the US, I'm now in SEA and wanting to sell to US, and it's unclear signing up online instead of in App how it will work. Online putting my business in US, I can select UK & SEA as where to sell, but if I put my current country of Indonesia, it gives the option to sell in US.
 
This requires setting up a payment processor like PayPal or Stripe that works with your TikTok and making sure it can accept international transactions.
 
You could probably partner with US fulfillment companies that handles shipping. Or just buy a US TikTok Shop account, but be careful it could even complicate things. You will need a US bank account or a service like Payoneer for withdrawals. Just make sure that everything is legal and runs smoothly!
 
Beware of fraudulent TikTok shop sellers. Many people on BHW, Telegram, and Facebook offer to sell verified TikTok shops for $20 to $100, claiming these accounts are verified with a driver's license (DL) and SSN. However, these credentials are often stolen, and the real account owners are unaware of the transactions.

I learned this the hard way. I bought a TikTok USA shop from a seller for $110. He assured me it was his shop and promised to provide any needed verification. After making my first sale, I failed to update the tracking ID promptly. TikTok canceled the order and refunded the buyer because of the missing tracking ID and then requested selfie verification from me. When I asked the seller for help, he revealed that the account details were stolen and not his.

To avoid such issues, register your company in the USA as an LLC and obtain an ITIN. The process costs around $30–100 for the LLC and $200–300 for the ITIN. This way, you ensure your shop is legitimate and secure. My shop has been running smoothly for the past three months using this method.
Hi @Maxmum Alee. Thank you for your post. This is very helpful. I have a few more questions. Is ITIN issued to a person or an LLC? Did you fly to the US to apply or applied online? Did you still need a US based company representative to register your TikTok account or did you register it via a partnership option? If you used a US based company representative, was it someone you already knew or you could find a person willing to help?
 
If I purchase a legitimate, verified US account, how will I get paid in my country?
Also Tiktok requires a US social security number and fill out a Tax Form , I think is W-9. How is this provided with the purchased account.? and Is it valid?
 
If you are a U.S. citizen, use this link to register: https://seller-us-accounts.tiktok.com/account/register. Enter your email and set up a password. Select your driver's license state and submit your driver's license or passport. Your SSN is required.

If you are not a US citizen, you need to register your company in the USA as an LLC. With the LLC information, an ITIN is necessary.

This is the process I followed, and my shop has been working well for the past three months

Thanks, and have a nice day.
hey man ,wanted to ask you a quick question,when they ask for id verification ,they ask for ssn as well,so as a non us resident what should i put there ?
 
You can set your TikTok Shop target to the US even if you’re based in the Philippines. You don’t need a US-based account, but you may need a US business address or payment processor. For withdrawals, consider using PayPal or a US bank account. Make sure your supplier can ship to the US. Check TikTok’s seller policies for more details.
 
Directly purchase a US TikTok store account, and then set your VPN to the US

You can buy accs that have it enab1ed
 
You can consider establishing a business entity in the United States to operate your print-on-demand business. This would involve registering a company, obtaining a US business address, and complying with US tax and legal requirements.


you can find some resource from tiktok shop site: https://business.tiktokshop.com/us/seller
 
Buy a US TIKTOK account and use a US IP. You can post a purchase thread in "Want to sell" where there are many sellers.
 
To switch to the US TikTok Shop, you may need a US-based LLC and a virtual address.

Services like Stripe Atlas or Wise can help with payouts for non-residents.
