5 TikTok Shop Hacks Every Seller Should Know

Selling on TikTok Shop can feel like a roller coaster. One day you’re flooded with views and orders, the next it’s crickets. But what if we told you that a few small tweaks can actually give you a consistent edge?

Whether you’re just getting started or trying to break through a plateau, these five simple hacks can help your content get seen and your products get sold.

1. Use trending sounds, even quietly

TikTok is all about trends. Even if you're not creating “viral” videos, using trending audio gives your content a chance to ride the wave of visibility. You don’t need to blast the music. Just keep the trending sound in the background on low volume.

Check the “Trending Sounds” tab a few times a week
Save ones that feel natural for your brand
Layer them under product demos, tutorials, or reviews

Why it works: TikTok’s algorithm loves it when your content aligns with current trends.

2. Pin your best-performing videos

When someone lands on your TikTok profile, you’ve got just a few seconds to win them over. Don’t leave it to chance.

Use TikTok’s pin feature to showcase:

• Your mostengaging video
• A creator review that drove sales
• A quick tutorial or bundle breakdown

Think of it as your storefront window. Make it count.

3. Fix your product titles for better search

Product titles on TikTok Shop are searchable, just like on Google or Amazon. That means vague or “cute” titles won’t help you show up.

Instead of:
“Cozy Bottle”

Try:
“1L BPA-Free Leakproof Water Bottle – Hot & Cold, Fits in Cup holders ”Quick tips for product titles:

• Use common search terms
• Mention size, colour, or key benefit
• Avoid fluff, focus on clarity

This alone can boost visibility and click-throughs.

4. Reply to comments with videos

Engagement = algorithm love. One of the best ways to drive it? Respond to questions or comments with a video.

Example:

Someone asks: “Can you put hot drinks in it?”
‍You reply: Short clip showing hot coffee being poured in and the steam rising.
This feels natural, authentic, and incredibly helpful to potential buyers.

5. Bundle your products to boost basket size

TikTok allows you to create product bundles, and it’s a great way to increase average order value.

Create themed kits that make life easier for the customer:

• “Desk Essentials Kit” (Pen, Notebook, Mug)
• “Daily Skincare Set” (Cleanser, Toner, Moisturizer)
• “Back-to-School Bundle” (Lunchbox, Water Bottle, Markers)

People love convenience. Bundles make them feel like they’re getting more—and spending smarter.
