Create TikTok ads to showcase your products, and measure results at scale! Install the TikTok Pixel and Events API to maximize performance.

== Description ==

The official TikTok plugin makes it easy to put your business in front of billions of highly engaged consumers, helping you achieve your marketing and sales objectives by promoting your products or services worldwide. These users aren’t just browsing; they’re buying, as evidenced by the popular hashtag #TikTokMadeMeBuyIt. And they could become your next customers.

**You can integrate with TikTok directly on WordPress to run Lead Generation Ads to capture leads and improve targeting. If you want to also run other types of ads and unlock additional features, please go to [WooCommerce](https://woo.com/products/tiktok-for-woocommerce/?quid=248069d58a62fa8c7022af8cbf7bb391) to download the official TikTok integration.**

With the official TikTok plugin, you can perform the following:

-   Easily install the TikTok Pixel and enable the Events API to track your traffic, measure and optimize your campaign performance, and find new customers.
-   Run Lead Generation Ads to capture emails for future campaigns.
-   Sync your store catalog to TikTok (available via the WooCommerce integration).
-   Create engaging conversion ads from your product catalog (available via the WooCommerce integration).

Tiktok Shop related Feature update:

Please note:  We will be discontinuing the Tiktok shop features from June 1, 2026 on this plugin. All Ads features will be continued as described in these notes.

Related to Tiktok Shop feature deprecation, the following are important timelines:

-   New Sign-ups: Starting 2nd March, the official TikTok WooCommerce plugin will no longer accept new TikTok Shop connections.
-   Support Cutoff: We will provide full support for all shop features on the current app until 31st May.

For Tiktok shop connections, you may utilize the following alternatives:
1. (Recommended) Visit the TikTok Shop App Store: Find a new integrated solution designed to help your business grow [here](https://seller-us.tiktok.com/appstore/us).
2. Utilize the Tiktok Shop Seller Center to manage your product listings

**Note:** Advertisers with an existing TikTok Pixel can connect it to the TikTok integration.

If you use an existing custom setup, there may be deduplication work required for accurate reporting. Check out the [TikTok Business Help Center](https://ads.tiktok.com/help/article/event-deduplication?lang=en) for more on deduplication.
