Linking products from multiple shops in one video: A new feature for multi-shop advertisers

Only suitable for retailers who own multiple shops, not a general solution for all cases wanting to increase awareness.

Previously, a GMV Max video could only link products from a single shop. For companies operating multiple TikTok Shop stores simultaneously, this was once a confusing limitation — official documents record real feedback from an advertiser: “I didn’t know about this limitation. We have several stores, all company-owned. Why can’t we put product links from two stores in one video?”

Use Cases

A customer operating Shop A (main) and Shop B (new) wants to place both product links in one video, helping users discover products from multiple stores they own — a way of “account nurturing” on TikTok.

Risks to Anticipate

Linking products from multiple stores can cause serious brand conflicts — for example, a video placing a brand’s product next to a competitor’s product, weakening the brand image. Advertisers do not have full control over creator content, which is a common concern when expanding this feature.

Who Should and Should Not Use It

Only recommended for sellers with a strong need to increase awareness — specifically, retailers managing multiple self-owned stores that share the same video pool. Not suitable for cross-promotional collaborations with third-party shops due to brand conflict risks.

Current Status

Alpha Testing at the time of update. Once whitelisted, the feature is automatically applied to the account — advertisers do not need to configure anything else.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this feature apply to collaborations between 2 independent shops?
The documentation only guides retailers who own multiple shops — collaborating with other independent shops is not within the recommended scope due to brand conflict risks.

What needs to be done to try this feature?
