# What Are Cross-Border Shops on TikTok? How to Sync Cross-Border Products Using SPL

# **What Are Cross-Border Shops on TikTok? How to Sync Cross-Border Products Using SPL**

### **Overview:**
Cross-border shops on TikTok allow sellers to sell products in international markets—even if they’re not physically based in the target country. For example, a seller based in **China, the UK, or the UAE** can operate TikTok Shops in **Germany, France, Italy, Spain, or the UK**, and ship products directly to those customers.

Using the **SPL** app, sellers can manage all their international TikTok Shops through one central Shopify store. SPL enables syncing of one Shopify product across multiple TikTok regions while allowing for region-specific pricing, inventory, and content.

### How to Add Multiple TikTok Shops
On the SPL dashboard:
* Click the dropdown menu at the top-right of the page (it shows your current connected shop).
* Select “➕ Add Shop” to add another TikTok Shop (e.g., DE, FR, UK, IT).
* Authorize each shop connection.

After successful connection:
*  The CB shop will appear in the dropdown list alongside any domestic shops you’ve already linked.
* You can connect multiple CB (cross-border) shops (e.g., EU‑CB, US‑CB) to the same Shopify store if TikTok has approved them.

### Step 1: Go to  Global Products
* **Step 1: Go to Global Products**
* On the SPL app sidebar, click on **Global Products**.
* You’ll now see a list of your Shopify products that can be synced to TikTok Shops.

### Step 2: Select a Product to Sync
From the list of available products:
* Click on the product you want to publish to multiple TikTok Shops and then click to Sync to TikTok Shop.

### Step 3: Choose Regions
At the top of the Global Products page, select the **regions** (TikTok Shops) where you want to publish the product.
Tick the boxes for:
* **US – United States**
* **UK – United Kingdom**
* **DE – Germany**
* **FR – France**
* **IT – Italy** …and any other TikTok‑supported countries enabled in your CB shop.

Only the selected markets will receive the listing.

### Step 4: Set Global Inventory and Price
This is where you define the **total stock available** and **base price** for your product — before it's distributed across multiple TikTok Shops.
* **Global Inventory**: The **total number of units** of the product you're selling across all connected TikTok regions.
* **Base Price**: The **default product price**, typically in your Shopify store’s base currency (e.g., USD or EUR), that will be applied unless you override it regionally.

📌 *This step helps SPL know how many units exist in total, and what the default price should be when syncing to TikTok.*

### **1️⃣ Set Local Pricing**
Manually assign different prices per country.

| **Country ** | ** Local Price ** |
| US | $34.99 |
| UK | £27.99 |
| DE | €31.49 |

✅ Suitable when you need to account for currency, VAT, or market‑specific promotions.

### Step 5: Apply Regional Inventory and Pricing
### **Apply Inventory**
This button lets you decide **how the global stock will be used across your different TikTok Shops**.
When you click **Apply Inventory**, you'll get two options:

### **1️⃣ Set Global Inventory as Base**
1. This means **all selected TikTok Shops will pull from the same inventory pool**.
2. If you enter 200 units as your global inventory:
* Each shop (US, UK) sees **200** available units — and shares that same pool.
* If someone buys in France, the stock decreases for all regions.

✅ Best for centralized warehouses or sellers who fulfill from a single location.

### **2️⃣ Distribute Inventory Between the Regions**
This option lets you **manually assign a specific quantity to each TikTok Shop**.

| **Country** | Units |
| US | 120 |
| UK | 90 |
| DE | 90 |

✅ Best if you store stock in multiple locations or want to cap sales per region.

* Click **Next Step** to continue.

### Step 6: Complete Category, Brand, Attributes and Compliance Details
Before syncing, complete the TikTok-required fields:
* Choose the **Product Category** from TikTok’s dropdown (e.g., *Electronics › Headphones*).

![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/a/9/5/5/a9552c769f21a000/11_dkn6kp.png)

* Select a **Brand**. If it’s not listed, choose **“No Brand”** or submit a request via TikTok Seller Center.

![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/a/9/5/5/a9552c769f21a000/12_gciy9c.png)

### 1️⃣ Product Attributes
These vary by category and may include:
* Color, Size, Skin Type, Volume, Power Output, etc.

**Why it matters:**
 TikTok Shop and Shopify use these attributes to correctly classify your products, match them with category requirements, and improve searchability and optimization.

✅ **In SPL:**
 You may be asked to fill in or map product attributes during the product sync process to meet TikTok’s listing standards.

![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/a/9/5/5/a9552c769f21a000/13_691wsr.png)

### 2️⃣ Regulatory Compliance Labels (Important for Cross-Border)
TikTok may ask you to confirm any compliance requirements depending on your product category and country:

Examples:
* CE Mark – for electronics, toys, personal care
* RoHS or REACH – for EU environmental compliance
* FDA/EMEA – for food, cosmetics, health
* Age restrictions, recycling symbols

📌 Especially crucial when shipping to **Germany, France, or the UK**, which have stricter compliance enforcement for cross-border goods.

✅ In SPL, you’ll be prompted to confirm these labels during the sync process.

![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/a/9/5/5/a9552c769f21a000/15_igqfd0.png)

* Checkmark if you want to **Save your Selection as a template for future use.**

![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/a/9/5/5/a9552c769f21a000/16_1piwmby.png)

* You can also assign a custom name to the template and then click **Save Template** to store it for future use.

### Step 7: Sync the Product to TikTok Shops
Once everything is filled:
* Click **Create Products on Tiktok.**

![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/a/9/5/5/a9552c769f21a000/18_17kl9wh.png)

* Your product will be saved as a **Draft** and ready to **Publish.**

![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/a/9/5/5/a9552c769f21a000/19_1bxdyml.png)

### To Publish:
1. Go to the top-right shop selector in SPL.
2. Choose one region at a time (e.g., UK, FR, DE).
3. Open the product in that region, review, and click **Publish**.
4. Repeat for each TikTok Shop.
