TikTok Shop Setup & Launch

Setup & Launch gets a brand from "not on TikTok Shop" to a live shop with verified tracking and a launch-ready campaign. GMV Forge configures Seller Center, uploads the catalog, installs and verifies the TikTok Pixel and events, and prepares the first campaign.

Who it's for

• E-commerce brands that sell on their own store or Amazon and want to open a TikTok Shop.
• Brands entering Germany or another European TikTok Shop market.
• Shops that are technically live but were set up without verified tracking.

What we do

• Seller Center configuration and catalog upload.
• TikTok Pixel and event tracking (ViewContent, AddToCart, InitiateCheckout, CompletePayment, Purchase).
• Verification of every event in TikTok's Event Manager, with correct order values, before any spend.
• For Germany: a pre-launch checklist covering the legal notice page, VAT-inclusive pricing and invoicing, coordinated with your tax advisor.
• An initial campaign structure ready to launch on clean data.

What you receive

• A live, configured shop with your products.
• Tracking verified event by event.
• A launch plan for GMV Max and first content.

FAQ

How long does it take to launch a TikTok Shop?

It depends on TikTok's seller verification and product approval, and on how ready your catalog and images are. We start setup as soon as access is granted and keep you updated at each step.

Can you set up a TikTok Shop for a US brand from outside the US?

Yes. We work remotely with brands worldwide inside your own Seller Center, with the access you grant.

How much does TikTok Shop setup cost?

Setup & Launch is quoted per shop on the free audit call, based on catalog size and market requirements. Ongoing management starts at $1,000 per month for up to 2 products.

How long does TikTok Shop setup take?

The technical setup usually takes days once your documents and catalog data are ready. Business verification and German-market preparation can add time.

Do I need a TikTok Pixel before running ads?

Yes. Every event is verified in TikTok's Event Manager before any campaign launches, because GMV Max learns from that data.

Do you handle German legal and tax requirements?

We prepare the setup checklist (legal notice page, VAT and invoicing setup) and coordinate with your tax advisor. GMV Forge does not provide legal or tax advice.
