# Connect TikTok Business Account

To create and manage TikTok Shop Ads in M2E Multichannel Connect, you need to link a TikTok Business account. It is separate from your TikTok Shop account and gives you access to TikTok's advertising features, including Product GMV Max campaigns.

This guide covers the steps to link your TikTok Business account with M2E Multichannel Connect.

## Requirements

Before you begin, make sure that:

- Your **TikTok Shop account** is linked to M2E Multichannel Connect. This is the account you use to list products and manage orders on TikTok Shop.
- You have a **TikTok Business account** that is authorized to run GMV Max ads for your TikTok Shop. This is a separate account used to create and manage TikTok ads.

> ℹ️ Don't have a TikTok Business account yet? Create one in [TikTok Ads Manager](https://ads.tiktok.com/) and link it to your TikTok Shop through Seller Center or Business Center.

## Connection steps

Follow these steps to connect a Business account to a TikTok Shop account:

1) In a new browser tab, sign in to your TikTok Business account at [ads.tiktok.com](https://ads.tiktok.com/). Make sure you are logged in to the right account, as switching accounts mid-flow can break the connection.

2) In M2E Multichannel Connect, navigate to *Settings > Sales Channels*.

3) Find the TikTok Shop account you want to connect the Business account to. Click the three-dot menu on its card.

4) Select **Connect Business Account**. On the TikTok authorization page that opens, review and approve the requested permissions.

5) You will be returned to M2E Multichannel Connect. Your TikTok Shop account card will show the Business account as connected.

> ℹ️ If you have multiple TikTok Shop accounts linked in M2E, repeat these steps for each one.

Once the Business account is linked, you can **[add your TikTok Shop listings to Product GMV Max campaigns](https://docs.m2ecloud.com/docs/add-tiktok-shop-listings-to-product-gmv-max-campaign/)** in M2E Multichannel Connect. 

## Troubleshooting
