New TikTok Shop UK tools: photo carousels, group deals and live auctions
What they said
Read the original ↗“Five to seven images is the recommended range.”
In plain English
TikTok Shop has added new selling tools for UK sellers. You can turn product photos into swipeable, shoppable posts without filming any video. In live streams you can offer group deals and price cuts that unlock when enough people buy, sell auction and fixed-price items in the same stream, and hold back stock just for lives.
Why it matters
Photo carousels make it much easier to sell on TikTok without a video team, and the live tools are built to create urgency right before Black Friday.
