How to Connect Printful to TikTok Shop
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to connect Printful to your TikTok Shop, using the official step-by-step method. While there are some restrictions with TikTok’s seller center, we’ll provide clear instructions on how to set this up smoothly.
Step 1: Create a Printful Account
To get started, you’ll need an account on Printful. Visit Printful’s official website and create your account by clicking the sign-up button. You can choose one of three sign-in methods: Google, Apple, or Facebook. Select the method that works best for you.
Step 2: Set Up Your TikTok Shop Account
Next, you’ll need to create your TikTok Shop account. For this, you’ll typically need some documentation such as:
- Official identification
- Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) documents (if applicable)
- Additional contact information, like your phone number
Once you’ve gathered these details, go ahead and set up your seller account on TikTok.
Step 3: Link Your TikTok Account
After creating your seller account, you will need to link it to your personal TikTok account. In the seller center, look for the option to link your official TikTok account and follow the prompts to complete this process.
Step 4: Install Printful on Your TikTok Shop
Moving forward, you must integrate Printful with your TikTok Shop. Here’s how to do it:
- Navigate to the app and service store in your TikTok Shop.
- Search for Printful and select the application.

Step 5: Set Up Warehouse Addresses
Next, you’ll need to provide your warehouse addresses for shipping purposes. This includes details such as:
- Warehouse name
- Contact person
- Phone number
- Address
If you’re located in the United States or the UK, there’s a recommended address you can use, which can simplify this step.
Step 6: Create a Shipping Template

- Click on “Add a new template.”
