Category template

Default Category Template

Default Template: All products with a 'Not synced' status (both existing and new) without special configuration will be assigned to the default template.

🌻 Note: If your products need to be mapped to different categories, we recommend creating multiple category templates first to ensure accurate syncing.

How to create the default category template

All 'Not synced' products (existing and new) without specific configurations will be assigned to the default template.

Category template details

If you create category templates but choose not to activate it, our system will not automatically sync any products based on the template.

The template's content will only serve as pre-filled information for manual syncs, which you can modify at any time.

Select a category

Whether you sync manually or automatically, you need to select a category to sync to TikTok Shop.

To help merchants choose the right category, we’ve integrated TikTok Shop’s AI category recommendation. When syncing a product, the AI suggests a category based on the title and description. Of course, you can adjust the category as needed.

There are some categories that require application in TTS before you can sell on TikTok Shop. You can directly click apply to apply.

Required product attributes

After selecting a category, our system will list the required and optional attributes for that category. You will need to fill out the required product attributes for that category, while the additional product info can be optionally filled in.

Different categories have different required product attributes. You need to fill them out or upload files based on your product's details.

Select specific products

For special category templates, you can set rules to select which specific products to include.

Shipping settings

Package weight

If you've already set a product weight in Shopify, we recommend choosing Sync from Shopify. You'll also need to provide a backup value in case the Shopify value is empty or doesn't meet TikTok Shop requirements. If you prefer to set a fixed weight for your products, you can choose the Use custom values option and enter the appropriate value.

Package dimensions

Enter these values based on your package dimensions, as they will affect the shipping fee calculation.
