Productsup has developed a connector app to make it easier for brands to sell on TikTok Shop

BERLIN, Sept. 12, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Productsup, the leading Product-to-Consumer (P2C) software company, has officially announced an integration with TikTok Shop that enables businesses to unlock new sales potential on the short-form mobile video platform. With the Productsup TikTok Shop connector app, Productsup customers can sell directly to consumers on TikTok with a seamless product content and order management experience. The connection provides brands with a simplified way to connect with the TikTok community, increasing their operational efficiency.

“TikTok became a go-to destination for product discovery faster than any other channel in commerce history, and it has successfully maintained its status as a hub for consumers worldwide to learn about new products and engage with brands online,” said Vincent Peters, CEO at Productsup. “By partnering with TikTok to build the TikTok Shop connector app within our platform, we empower companies to take full advantage of TikTok Shop as a sales channel.”

Social commerce sales in the US alone are projected to reach $2.9 trillion by 2026. The added functionality of native checkout on social platforms like TikTok allows brands to sell directly where their users are interacting with their products instead of being redirected to an external website to complete purchases. Using the TikTok Shop connector app through the Productsup P2C platform, brands can perform the following tasks with built-in automation that eliminates the need for IT support:

  • Create and manage your product catalog on TikTok Shop
  • Import orders from TikTok Shop to the Productsup platform to make them available to the order management system (OMS)
  • Automatically notify TikTok Shop when orders have been shipped to communicate delivery times with consumers

The TikTok Shop connector app is currently available in the US and UK. In addition to TikTok Shop, Productsup also supports brands with TikTok Dynamic Showcase Ads, which are personalized video ads generated in real-time from an ad template. This template contains product information from a product catalog, which is constantly updated and enriched by Productsup.

Woolpert Engineering Project Manager John Brigham Appointed to TxDOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee

Leave a comment


The committee’s knowledge and findings on bicycle and pedestrian accommodations and transportation funding contribute to TxDOT’s Strategic Direction Report, an annual report identifying existing conditions for bicyclists and pedestrians across the state’s 38 districts and summarizing existing TxDOT processes for funding, planning, project development, and programming.

Brigham worked for a global engineering firm as a supervising traffic engineer before joining Woolpert in 2022, frequently working with the Ohio Department of Transportation and assisting in the development of Safe Routes to School travel plans. This U.S. Department of Transportation program is an approach that promotes walking and bicycling to school through infrastructure improvements, enforcement, tools, safety education, and incentives.

In his new role, Brigham supports TxDOT’s Road to Zero goal of reducing the number of deaths on Texas roadways by half by the year 2035, and to zero by 2050. A reported 3,894 people lost their lives on Texas roadways in 2020. Brigham said this goal of zero crashes goes beyond motor vehicles to address safe routes for all travelers. He said the BPAC is another tool Texas can use to help achieve that goal.

“We’re focused on providing safer, more accessible, and equitable transportation for all, whether that’s ensuring continuous and connected sidewalks or expanding designated bike lanes,” Brigham said. “By giving communities a voice through the BPAC, TxDOT doesn’t have to solely rely on traffic data for guidance. Planning and improvements can also be informed by the very people who live and travel in those communities.”

About Woolpert
Woolpert is the premier architecture, engineering, geospatial (AEG), and strategic consulting firm, with a vision to become one of the best companies in the world. We innovate within and across markets to effectively serve public, private, and government clients worldwide.
