Marketplace Launch
Start selling on TikTok Shop, Walmart, eBay or Etsy with your products synced, settings done and listings checked.
Adding a marketplace sounds simple until verification, category rules, shipping templates and listing errors pile up. Mistakes can also lead to blocked listings. Marketplace Launch handles the setup for one marketplace of your choice. We sync up to 50 products from your store, fix listing errors, configure settings, check the marketplace's content rules and test orders. On TikTok Shop, we also open the affiliate program.
- One marketplace set up: TikTok Shop, Walmart, eBay or Etsy
- Up to 50 products synced with listing errors fixed
- Order and inventory sync tested before you go live

What it is
Marketplace Launch is a one-time setup of your store on one marketplace: TikTok Shop, Walmart Marketplace, eBay or Etsy. We sync up to 50 products from Shopify or WooCommerce, fix listing errors, configure shipping, returns and categories, check content rules and test order and inventory sync.
Why businesses buy it
Each marketplace has its own verification steps, category rules, shipping templates and content policies. Learning them takes weeks, and errors can block listings or put an account at risk. Marketplace Launch gives that work to people who do it regularly. We connect your existing Shopify or WooCommerce catalog, so stock and orders stay in step. Every listing is checked against the marketplace's content and claims rules before launch. You get a launch checklist and a written handover report, so your team can run the account afterwards. The marketplace still decides approval, and sales are never promised.
Problems this solves
Marketplace verification and setup rules take weeks to learn
We guide account verification and review settings, then configure shipping, returns and categories. Your listings go live on one marketplace without weeks of trial and error.
Listings get blocked for breaking content or claims rules
Every listing is checked against the marketplace's content and claims rules before launch. Listing errors are fixed for up to 50 products as part of the catalog sync.
Stock and orders could drift out of step with your store
Your Shopify or WooCommerce catalog connects through the marketplace app or a feed tool. We test order and inventory sync before launch, so both stay aligned.
TikTok Shop needs creators and you do not know where to start
On TikTok Shop, we open the affiliate program and send 25 creator invites. The program stays open for your team to grow after launch.
A good fit if
You sell on Shopify or WooCommerce and want to add TikTok Shop, Walmart Marketplace, eBay or Etsy.
You have 10 to 50 hero products you want listed first.
You can complete identity and business verification steps yourself when the marketplace asks.
You have product data, images, shipping rates and a return policy ready to share.
Not the right fit if
You want to sell on Amazon. See Amazon Listing Optimization.
You want your product feeds ready for AI shopping answers in ChatGPT and Google AI Mode. See AI Shopping Channel Setup.
Your product descriptions need rewriting before they go anywhere. See Product Descriptions Pack.
You want more than 50 products listed at launch. Add Extra 50 Products at checkout.

Running costs
Marketplaces charge selling fees on each sale, billed to you by the marketplace. If your catalog connects through a paid feed tool, its subscription is billed by the tool vendor. Our fee is one-time, and every marketplace account stays in your business's name.
Ask about running costsCustom requirements
Add a note at checkout if you need something specific. If it fits within the Scope Card it is simply included. If it goes beyond it, you get a written Change Quote within two working days, and that work starts only once you accept it, with its time added to your delivery date.
Request a custom versionKeep it running
This is a one-time launch with 14 days of post-launch support. After that, your team runs the account using the launch checklist and written handover report. Ongoing account management, ads and a second marketplace are not included, and can be quoted through a Change Quote.

Questions about this product
Which marketplace should I launch on first?
Usually the one where your buyers already shop. TikTok Shop suits products that sell through short videos and creators. Walmart Marketplace reaches shoppers across the US. eBay works for a wide range of goods, and Etsy suits handmade, vintage and creative products. If you are unsure, ask an expert before you order; answers come by email.
Can you promise my marketplace seller account will be approved?
No. Each marketplace decides who can sell, and approval depends on your business documents and its own rules. We guide you through verification and review your settings to avoid common problems. You complete the identity steps yourself, because marketplaces require the account holder to do that personally.
How does the TikTok Shop creator outreach work?
On TikTok Shop only, we open the affiliate program for your products and send invites to 25 creators who fit your category. Creators decide whether to accept and post. Ongoing creator management and paid partnerships are not included, but the program stays open for your team to run after launch.
Will marketplace stock and orders stay in sync with my store?
Yes, once connected. We link your Shopify or WooCommerce catalog through the marketplace app or a feed tool, so stock and orders flow between them. Before launch we test an order and an inventory update to check the sync works. Some feed tools charge a monthly fee, billed to you by the vendor.
What if I want more than 50 products on the marketplace?
Add Extra 50 Products at checkout to list more. Each pack adds 50 more products to the sync and listing checks. Catalogs above 200 SKUs including variants are quoted through a Change Quote, because variant-heavy catalogs need more work to map correctly.
Does Marketplace Launch include running ads on the marketplace?
No, ads management is not included. Marketplace Launch gets your store set up and ready to sell. Ads, ongoing account management and a second marketplace can be quoted through a Change Quote. For advertising on Amazon, see Amazon Ads Management.
What support do I get after the marketplace goes live?
You get 14 days of post-launch support for questions and fixes. You also keep the launch checklist and the written handover report, so your team knows how to add products and handle orders. The account is yours from the start, and you can remove our access whenever you like.
