TikTok Shop Setup: Get Live and Selling Without the Guesswork
You've seen the videos. Products selling out overnight, shops going viral, founders scaling fast, all through TikTok Shop. Actually getting your shop verified, set up, and syncing properly with your existing store is a different story.
eCommerce Assist helps UK Shopify and WooCommerce founders get TikTok Shop set up properly, from seller verification through to product sync and order fulfilment. Based in Hove, I've set up TikTok Shop on both platforms myself, so I know where it goes wrong and how to get it right first time.
Getting TikTok Shop Right Shouldn't Take Weeks Of Trial And Error
Most of the founders I work with aren't struggling because TikTok Shop doesn't work for their product. They're struggling because the setup itself is fiddly. Seller verification that gets rejected without explanation. Product categories that don't map cleanly from Shopify or WooCommerce. Shipping templates that need setting up correctly before you can go live.
TikTok Shop rewards the founders who get the setup right early. Getting it wrong costs you weeks of back and forth with TikTok support.
TikTok Shop Setup, Handled For You
eCommerce Assist handles the full TikTok Shop setup process for you, from seller registration through to catalogue sync. I work with Shopify and WooCommerce stores, doing the practical, hands-on work that gets your shop live and compliant.
This isn't strategy or consultancy. It's proper, roll-up-your-sleeves TikTok Shop setup from someone who has done it before, on both platforms.

Why Work With Someone Who's Actually Done This?
TikTok Shop is still new enough that a lot of agencies are learning on the job, on your account. I've set up TikTok Shop for a Shopify store and for a WooCommerce store, so I've already made the mistakes and fixed them. You don't have to.
Based in Hove, I work directly with UK solo traders and small teams. No offshore handoffs, no account managers in the middle. Just direct, hands-on TikTok Shop setup from someone who treats your store like it matters, because it does.
How Ecommerce Assist Works
1. Discovery Call & Task Planning
We start with a short discovery call to understand your e-commerce business, pain points, and the tasks you want support with. Together, we agree priorities, tools, and expectations so everything is clear from day one.
2. Agreement, Access & Setup
Once agreed, we confirm the scope, contract, and working hours. You’ll be added to a shared Trello board where tasks, progress, and updates are organised clearly, with access set up securely.
We get to work straight away, handling tasks efficiently and keeping everything updated in Trello. You receive regular progress updates, clear communication, and flexible support as your business evolves.
3. Execution, Updates & Ongoing Support
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you set up TikTok Shop for Shopify or WooCommerce?
Both. I've set up TikTok Shop integrations on Shopify stores and WooCommerce stores, so whichever platform you're on, I can get your catalogue connected and your shop live.
Why did my TikTok Shop application get rejected?
Usually it comes down to incomplete business verification, a mismatch between your registered business details and your store, or product categories that don't meet TikTok's requirements. I go through the application carefully so it's right the first time, rather than getting rejected and waiting weeks to reapply.
What's the difference between hiring you and using a TikTok Shop agency?
Agencies often hand you off to an account manager who then briefs a junior team member doing the actual setup. I do the work myself, hands-on, in your Shopify or WooCommerce store. You get direct access to the person doing the setup, not another layer of communication.
Do I need a UK business to sell on TikTok Shop?
You need a registered UK business, either a sole trader or limited company, to sell on TikTok Shop UK. If you're not sure your registration meets TikTok's requirements, I can check this as part of the setup and sort out any gaps before we submit your application.
How quickly can you get my TikTok Shop live?
Depending on how quickly your business verification comes through, most stores are live within one to two weeks. Seller verification is usually the bottleneck, not the technical setup, so I make sure that part is right first time to avoid delays.
