This integration, similar to Amazon's collaboration with Meta, enables users to link their TikTok profiles with Amazon accounts for seamless transactions using stored payment and shipping information. The feature also allows real-time Amazon product suggestions, pricing, and delivery details directly within TikTok. According to Amazon Consultant, Fahad Sajjad, it’s only a matter of time before brands can use Amazon’s Sponsored Display and DSP ads on TikTok, with full attribution when users connect their accounts. This could also extend to content from creators who are whitelisted, making it even more crucial for brands to build a network of influencers for their Amazon products.
