TikTok Shop is the architecture of a new digital commerce era.

As TikTok Shop enters the European market, it brings more than a feature or a format, it introduces a structural shift in how brands go to market, acquire customers, and compete.

For the first time, discovery, content, influence, and transaction are collapsed into a single, native go-to-market ecosystem where the algorithm becomes distribution, creators become sellers, and commerce happens in real time, inside the feed.

European digital live commerce has been limited by reach and format. TikTok Shop has finally unlocked Live Commerce at scale in a model where attention is not rented, but owned; where sales are not pushed, but pulled by culture; and where brands are no longer limited by media budgets or funnel complexity.

In this whitepaper, we unpack why TikTok Shop is redefining the foundations of digital commerce, how brands can leverage it to gain first-mover advantage, and what it takes to build scalable, performance-driven strategies in a world where content is the new storefront.

    • Why TikTok Shop marks a structural shift in digital commerce

    • How it enables a full-funnel sales experience inside the content feed

    • The strategic and operational implications for retail brands

    • How brands can activate live selling and performance-based creator models at scale

    • A practical framework to build your TikTok Shop GTM strategy

  • $33B in global GMV. 9B in the US alone. 11M+ influencers.
    TikTok Shop is not a future opportunity, it's a live, scalable, and competitive ecosystem.
    Brands that hesitate risk losing creator access, consumer attention, and digital relevance.

  • CMOs, Heads of Digital, eCommerce Directors, Innovation Leads, and anyone responsible for building the next generation of brand-led commerce strategy.
