How to Add Required Product Fields for TikTok Shop


Overview


TikTok Shop, has its own requirements for uploading products and listing them for customers.
Currently, TikTok Shop requires every product to include:

  • Weight
  • Length
  • Width
  • Height


These requirements help guarantee a better customer experience. Additionally:


  • Size chart is required for clothing products
  • Product certification files are required for certain categories like electronics


If these required fields are missing, the product cannot be synced automatically to your TikTok Shop store. (For example, uploading manually in TikTok Seller Center without required fields would also prevent product submission.)

1. Add Required Fields via Product Syncing Dashboard


In Product Syncing, you select which products to sync to TikTok Shop. The app will automatically detect missing required fields before allowing sync.


Steps:


  1. Go to **Product > shopify product ** in TikTok Shop Connector by SPL.
  2. click Edit next to the product you want to update.
  3. A modal will open showing Product Overview, Details, Variants, and Attributes.
  4. Switch between tabs to edit relevant information.
  5. Click Save after entering all required fields.

If your product is exempt from barcodes, you can leave it empty. However, adding barcodes is recommended for a better product health score on TikTok Shop.

TikTok Shop uses product dimensions and weight to:


  • Accurately calculate shipping fees

Failing to provide these details will block product sync and delay your listing.
