How BuyScout® starts helping

  1. Connect TikTok

    Connect your TikTok Business Account, then authorize BuyScout® to manage direct messages.

  2. Reads your store automatically

    BuyScout® uses the Shopify products, store pages, policies, availability, cart, and order context already connected for website chat.

  3. Use your existing AI Store Agent settings

    BuyScout® applies the same store knowledge, AI behavior, handoff, and store-action settings used by website chat. No separate TikTok behavior setup is required.

  4. Optional testing

    Merchants can send a test TikTok DM to confirm the connection and handoff path before sharing the channel with shoppers.

Where TikTok has limits

  • Availability varies by account and market. TikTok gates messaging and commerce features by account entitlement, permissions, campaign type, and market. BuyScout® uses only the capabilities TikTok exposes to the connected account.
  • BuyScout® handles private messaging only. BuyScout® handles shopper-led TikTok DMs, Direct Messaging Ad conversations, and eligible TikTok Shop customer-service chat—not public comment replies or moderation.
  • Private actions require proof. BuyScout® reveals private order or account information only after secure verification and asks for confirmation before an eligible consequential action.
  • Exceptions reach a teammate. Policy exceptions, disputes, safety concerns, and requests without reliable store evidence move to a person with the conversation context attached.
