## TL;DR

TikTok Shop integrates e-commerce directly into short-form video, live streaming, and the platform's marketplace. Sellers create shoppable videos/livestreams where users can purchase without leaving the app. Launched in Southeast Asia (2021), expanded to the UK and US (2023). TikTok Shop generated over $15 billion GMV in 2024.

## Core Explanation

Key formats: shoppable videos (product links in feed), live shopping (real-time selling events), product showcase (storefront tab). Affiliate marketing: creators promote products for commission. TikTok algorithm: interest-based (For You Page) rather than follower-based — small accounts can go viral. Promote products via trending sounds, challenges, and authentic creator-style content.
