Choose a listing or update entry
| Your task | Official guidance | File or connection |
|---|---|---|
| Create products by category | Bulk listing | TikTok’s category Excel template |
| Import information from another platform | Product Upload Accelerator | Source .xlsx; review the converted template |
| Update products already in your shop | Bulk edit products | Select products, download the edit template, update and upload |
| Connect an eligible Shopify shop | Shopify TikTok sales channel | Check store and product requirements before connecting |
The Accelerator requires identifier code, product name, description, price and quantity in .xlsx. Review its converted file before import. Missing information or unrecognized identifiers can prevent conversion; changing a CSV extension does not create an Excel workbook.
Download and fill the category template
- 01
On desktop, open Products → Manage Products → Bulk Action → Bulk listing. Choose the final, leaf-level category. Download a separate template for each different leaf category.
- 02
Follow the downloaded instructions and required fields. Keep its rows, columns and workbook structure intact; fill the provided SKU rows and review fields at the far right.
- 03
Keep a backup, then upload the completed workbook in Bulk listing. Review the platform’s validation before publishing and check the resulting product status.
Plan one row per SKU
Use the variation fields in your current template and keep shared product information consistent. SKU-specific values belong on the relevant SKU row.
Planning example: one product offered in three colors and two sizes needs six SKU rows.
| SKU row | Color | Size |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | White | S |
| 2 | White | M |
| 3 | Black | S |
| 4 | Black | M |
| 5 | Grey | S |
| 6 | Grey | M |
This is a row-count illustration, not a downloadable or import-ready template. Category fields, identifiers, prices, stock, images and packaging information still need review in the current workbook.
Resolve errors and verify status
Use the online editor or failed-product report to correct rejected entries. Retry failed products; avoid re-uploading entries that already succeeded.
Upload success is not the final listing status. Check Manage Products for review results, category permission and your account’s current listing limit.
For Accelerator failures, follow its failure reasons. Products missing required information or images may need completion in Draft before publication.
Official sources and scope
Reviewed October 8, 2026. US workflows and account-provided templates can change.
Use the current US account instructions for the final decision. Other markets, temporary LIVE listings and campaign uploads can use different workflows. These notes do not establish category approval, image availability or a successful store import.
