Set Category for TikTok Shop Items

You have to set categories and attributes (specifics) for your Magento products when adding them to M2E TikTok Shop (TTS) Listing. Products without the category and related attributes can’t be listed on TikTok Shop.

By providing this information, you can ensure your products are accurately categorized and described. This also helps enhance product visibility and appeal on TikTok Shop.

Assign categories

Once you’ve selected products to be added to your M2E TTS Listing, you will need to assign them to the appropriate category. For that, choose the preferred category settings first.
