Recently TikTok and I have been very much in the off stage.
But just when I was out, they pulled me back in.
And its all thanks to TikTok Shop.
When the Shop first appeared in videos on my feed, my initial reaction was, Oh wow!
And then, Ohno.
I came upon the Shop while scrolling through my FYP last week.
The viral tank top that says you dont have to wear a bra?
she says, showing off the green ribbed tank to the camera.
(Really, cant any piece of clothing become viral if you just say it with confidence?)
However, I didnt have to google to find this tank, or even search the app.
Of course I clicked it.
What loaded was quite possibly the easiest online shopping experience I have ever experienced.
), all right there in the app.
Again, all still within the app.
A few clicks later, I could add my address, credit card, andbam, purchased.
My first thought was, Wow, this is so easy!
Its almost like one-tap shopping.
Is this shopping experiencetooeasy?
While TikTok does approve all shops, its easy to set one up.
All you need is a passport or drivers license, and of course, a TikTok account.
In an update, the shopsharedthey had gotten 800 orders in just four days from their new storefront.
This is insane, they wrote.
Thank you to everyone who has ordered.
You guys are amazing.
Among potential customers, the reaction to the Shop rollout has been more mixed.
(TikTok didnt comment on these complaints).
The TikTok Shop has literally made this app into one big ad, wroteone unhappy TikToker.
Think you are watching TikTok?
You are watching someone market their dropshipping product.
But in truth, it already has.
Once u started shopping on tiktok u cant stop, wrote one personon Twitter.
