TikTok Shop US requires sellers to have an American company, a US bank account and an American business representative who provides their identity documents. That representative must remain in place for as long as the shop trades.
Those requirements haven't changed. What has changed is that Alchemy Books has built a US operation that international authors can now use to sell their books on TikTok Shop US.
Your books are sold through our platform. You keep your copyright and earn royalties on every TikTok sale.
Our US fulfilment partner, Acutrack, prints, warehouses and ships every order. You don't need to manage stock, shipping or find someone in America to represent your business.
What you do need to do is make videos. That part is yours, and the book is honest about the work involved.
Our book, Locked Out of TikTok Shop US, explains why books sell on TikTok, what the platform requires, the widely promoted shortcut that could close your shop, and how Alchemy Books works.
Chapter four is about our own platform, and we declare our commercial interest on the first page.
