TikTok Shop Link Products Tool: Monetize New and Old Videos

🛍️ Why Add Product Links?

Adding product links to your videos is the #1 step to start earning commissions on TikTok Shop. Once a buyer clicks the product link and places an order, you get paid.

Benefits of Product Links:

• Make your videos shoppable

• Earn commissions passively

• Boost your content's conversion rate

• Create a smoother shopping experience for viewers

And if you missed adding a link during upload? No worries. The Link Products tool has your back.

🔗 What Is the Link Products Tool?

The Link Products tool lets you go back and add product links to short videos posted in the last 30 days — as long as they meet TikTok’s content policy.

It also recommends high-performing, relevant products based on your video’s content to help you earn more from every post.

Why Creators Love It:

• Monetize older videos that are still getting views

• Fix forgotten links without re-uploading

• Reduce manual work with auto-product suggestions

• Enhance user experience with shoppable videos that convert

🧰 Two Ways to Add Product Links

Method 1: Add Link Before Posting

1. Open TikTok → tap the Camera to create or upload a video.

2. Edit your content.

3. Tap “Add Link” → Select “Product”.

4. Choose a product from your showcase or marketplace.

5. Edit the product name (optional).

6. Hit Post.

💡 Pro Tip: Use this method if you’re creating a video specifically around a product or a sample campaign.
