How to get a showcase on TikTok


If you’ve noticed creators displaying products on their profiles, you may be wondering: how do you get a Showcase on TikTok? A TikTok Showcase is a feature that allows eligible creators, affiliates, and sellers to display products directly on their profile, making it easy for followers to browse and purchase items.

However, the Showcase feature isn’t available to every account. Your eligibility depends on factors such as your location, account type, and access to TikTok Shop. This guide explains what a TikTok Showcase is, who can get one, and how to set it up.

What Is a TikTok Showcase?

A TikTok Showcase is a section on your TikTok profile where you can display products from TikTok Shop.

Depending on your account, you can use it to:

  • Showcase products you sell.
  • Promote products as a TikTok Shop affiliate.
  • Help followers shop directly from your profile.
  • Feature recommended or popular items.

When someone visits your profile, they can browse your Showcase without leaving the TikTok app.

Who Can Get a TikTok Showcase?

The feature is generally available to eligible:

  • TikTok Shop sellers
  • TikTok Shop affiliates
  • Businesses participating in TikTok Shop
  • Creators who meet TikTok Shop requirements

Eligibility varies by country because TikTok Shop isn’t available worldwide.

How to Get a Showcase on TikTok

Step 1: Make Sure TikTok Shop Is Available

Before anything else, confirm that TikTok Shop operates in your country.

If you’re eligible:

  1. Sign up for TikTok Shop as a seller or affiliate.
  2. Complete any required identity or business verification.
  3. Wait for your application to be approved.

Approval times vary depending on your region and account.

Step 3: Access Your Showcase

Once your TikTok Shop account is approved:

  1. Open TikTok.
  2. Go to Profile.
  3. Look for the Showcase or Shop section.
  4. Follow the prompts to set it up.

Step 4: Add Products

Depending on your account type, you can:

  • Add products from your own store.
  • Select products from the affiliate marketplace.
  • Organize the products displayed on your profile.

After saving your changes, the Showcase becomes visible to visitors.

Why Can’t I Get a Showcase?

There are several possible reasons.

TikTok Shop Isn’t Available in Your Country

The Showcase feature depends on TikTok Shop availability.

Your Account Isn’t Eligible

Some accounts may not yet qualify due to account type or regional requirements.

Verification Isn’t Complete
