What BuyScout® does across TikTok messaging

BuyScout® can combine the message and account context TikTok makes available with current Shopify product data to ground supported conversations.

1. Turn a Direct Messaging Ad into product guidance
   Answer an ad-driven suggested question, check the live catalog, and send the relevant product page.

2. Turn a TikTok chat prompt into product discovery
   Let a shopper start from a Business Account chat prompt, then use their reply to narrow the live catalog without a scripted flow.

3. Guide TikTok Shop product questions
   Use TikTok Shop Customer Messages context to answer pre-purchase questions around the exact item.

Human handoff and unified inbox

BuyScout® sends the DM, supported attachments, available ad or campaign context, products or orders discussed, and unresolved question to the unified inbox.

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.

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® 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.
