FAQ: how to link a product on TikTok comments
How do creators reply to a comment with a product link on TikTok Shop?
Tap a comment, hit the reply button, then select the product icon to attach a SKU from your showcase. The comment posts with a tappable product card pinned to it. Only TikTok Shop affiliates with an active showcase can do this.
Why can't I add a product link in TikTok comments?
The most common reasons: you are not enrolled in the TikTok Shop affiliate program, the product is not added to your showcase, or your account does not meet TikTok Shop creator requirements. Check the Creator Center first.
Should brands ask creators to pin product replies?
Yes. Pin one product reply on every video that has buying-intent comments ("where can I get this?", "is this real?"). Pinned product replies sit at the top of the comment section and get disproportionate clicks.
