How TikTok Shop Works for Agencies: Roles and Setup
TikTok Shop for agencies: how the shop, videos, creators and ads fit together, who owns what when you run it for a brand, and what to set up first.
TikTok Shop
We run the shop, the videos, the creators and the ad campaigns behind your name. For agencies and brands selling where TikTok Shop is live.
This service is for agencies and brands selling in markets where TikTok Shop is live. Going by TikTok's own seller and newsroom pages, those include the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, Mexico, Brazil, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. TikTok Shop is not available in India, where TikTok is blocked, and we do not offer it there. This list changes and sellers register market by market, so check TikTok's seller site for your country before you plan anything.

Overview
A white label TikTok Shop agency runs a brand's TikTok Shop for you, while you keep the client, the brand and the invoice. We work inside your client's own shop and accounts as a collaborator. We list the products, make the short videos, reach out to creators, run the shop ads and write the reports. Your client sees your name.
This is TikTok Shop for agencies that sell in the US, the UK, Europe and other live markets, and for brands that want a senior team without hiring one. Most agencies come to us because a client asked for TikTok Shop and the in-house team has never run one. The channel works differently from ordinary social media. It needs product pages, video, creators and ads to move together.
We are based in Noida, and we say that plainly because TikTok Shop is not available in India. We cannot sell on it for Indian customers, and we do not pretend otherwise. What we offer is careful day-to-day work for the markets where it is live, done by a senior-only team, under an NDA, in your format. Calls and handovers fit around our hours, Monday to Saturday, 09:00 to 21:00 IST.

We cannot promise sales, a shop approval, creator uptake or a set number of views. TikTok decides who can sell, what is allowed and how fees work, and its policies change. We follow them closely and we tell you early when something looks risky. We do not run TikTok Shop for Indian customers, because it is not available there.
How we contract
The commercial side in plain words. The full wording is in our terms, and your proposal sets the details.

Still have a question?
Thirty minutes with us usually answers everything, including whether we are the right fit.
No. TikTok is blocked in India and TikTok Shop is not available there, so we cannot run it for Indian customers. This service is for agencies and brands selling in markets where TikTok Shop is live. We are not aware of a launch date for India, and we do not plan around one.
It runs the shop work for your client under your name. We handle product listings, short videos, creator outreach, shop ads and reports. You keep the relationship, the strategy and the invoice. Your client does not hear from us.
Because the work is done in the client's own accounts and needs no one on the ground. You get a senior team at a cost that leaves room for your margin. We are based in Noida, so we say so up front and work in your tools, to your process, under an NDA.
Your client's. The TikTok Shop seller account, the ad account and any creator data are always in their name. We join as a collaborator with the access you give us. If you stop working with us, you lose nothing, and you can remove our access whenever you like.
We can help prepare the application and the listings so they follow TikTok's rules, but approval is TikTok's decision. We cannot promise it, and we do not offer to bypass any check. The same goes for product approvals and policy decisions on videos and ads.
We find creators who fit the product, send invitations and sample requests, and track every reply in a list you can see. Your client approves the commission and the samples first. Whether creators say yes is up to them, so we report what happened, not what we hoped for.
Book a 30-minute call. You tell us the market, the products and how much of the work you want to keep in-house. We send a written proposal with scope and price. We suggest starting with one client's shop so you can judge the work before adding more.
