How to Sync WooCommerce Products, Prices and Stock with TikTok Shop

Selling the same products in two places is easy to start and hard to keep tidy. Titles change, prices move, stock runs down, and each of those changes has to appear in both places or customers eventually notice. This guide explains how WooCommerce and TikTok Shop can be kept in step, what moves automatically, and what still needs your attention.

The examples use  LitCommerce, one of the tools that handles this, and its page on WooCommerce TikTok Shop sync shows the same flow in screenshots. The underlying decisions apply to any setup, whichever tool you use.

Who this is for

This guide is most useful if you have more than a handful of products, you sell the same items on your WooCommerce store and on TikTok Shop, and you are tired of updating both. If you only have five products and they rarely change, doing it by hand is fine. Once a catalog grows, or once you start selling during promotions and LIVE sessions, small mismatches become expensive.

What “sync” should cover

Before touching any settings, it helps to be clear about what you expect to stay aligned.

• Titles and descriptions - WooCommerce to TikTok Shop - Edits carry over

• Prices - WooCommerce to TikTok Shop - Updated automatically

• New variants - WooCommerce to TikTok Shop - Added to the TikTok listing

• Inventory - Both ways - Updates after a sale on either channel

• Orders - TikTok Shop to WooCommerce - Appear in your store

Everything above runs on a 15-minute cycle. That is frequent enough for most catalogs, but it is not instant, which matters for fast sellers.

Step 1: Link the two stores

Install the plugin on WooCommerce, or connect the store from the app. WooCommerce becomes your Main Store, meaning products start there and data syncs outward from it. Next, connect TikTok Shop by entering a store name, choosing the region and authorizing access to your seller data.

Step 2: Get your products in place

There are three starting situations, and you may have more than one.

Case 1: Products in WooCommerce, not yet on TikTok Shop

Select the products, choose Add to Channel Drafts, pick TikTok Shop, and add them as drafts. Then complete the fields TikTok requires, including category, shipping and warranty, and publish. For a larger batch with shared settings, Quick Publish with AI-assisted attribute generation speeds things up.

Case 2: Products on TikTok Shop, not yet in WooCommerce

Import the TikTok listings, select the ones you want and create them in WooCommerce. You can map TikTok warehouses to your store’s locations during this process.

Case 3: Products on both

Link them. Hover over the red dot beside an unlinked listing, choose Link To A Product and match it with its WooCommerce counterpart. Only linked listings sync.

Step 3: Set up the sync rules

Open the TikTok Shop channel settings. This is where you decide how each kind of data behaves.
