Services & execution

Affiliate management
TikTok Shop Affiliate Management in the United States
TikTok Shop affiliate management in the US combines creator supply, Open and Target Collaboration, commission design, sample operations, creator activation, content monitoring, and performance review in one measurable workflow.
Open playbook →Creator outreach
TikTok Shop Creator Outreach in the United States
US creator outreach should start after qualification and present a clear product, collaboration model, compensation, sample terms, content expectation, timing, and next action, with replies handed to a human when negotiation is needed.
Open playbook →Rekrut kreator

Comparison
TikTok Shop Affiliate vs Flat-Fee Creator Collaboration in the US
Affiliate collaboration pays creators based on attributed sales commission, while TikTok Shop US also supports eligible Target Collaboration offers with a guaranteed flat fee for a shoppable video; the two models can be combined when appropriate.
Open playbook →Open vs Target
Open vs Target Collaboration on TikTok Shop US
Open Collaboration is designed to make eligible products broadly available to creators, while Target Collaboration is used to invite selected creators with a more specific offer; US sellers can operate both models together.
Open playbook →Video vs LIVE
TikTok Shop Video vs LIVE in the United States
Shoppable video and LIVE solve different creator-commerce jobs: video is asynchronous and scalable across many creators, while LIVE requires stronger hosting and operational coordination but can create a real-time shopping and demonstration environment.
Open playbook →Operating playbooks
Briefs, rights, seeding, LIVE, outreach and measurement.
Komisi affiliate
TikTok Shop Affiliate Commission in the United States
TikTok Shop US lets sellers configure affiliate commission within documented platform rules, including Open, Target, and tiered structures; the allowed range is a platform setting range, not evidence of a typical or recommended US commission.
Open playbook →Affiliate eligibility
TikTok Shop Affiliate Creator Eligibility in the United States
TikTok Shop US distinguishes Affiliate Creators from Marketing Creators and Official Shop Creators; the current US Affiliate Creator policy requires creators to be US-based, at least 18, and have at least 1,000 followers, subject to account and policy requirements.
Open playbook →Creator brief
TikTok Shop Creator Brief for US Campaigns
A strong US TikTok Shop creator brief defines the product truth, permitted and prohibited claims, commercial disclosure, shoppable format, deliverables, timing, brand-safety boundaries, and any usage-rights request while leaving room for authentic creator execution.
Open playbook →Guide / Compliance
US TikTok Creator Disclosure and FTC Compliance
For US creator campaigns, material connections between a creator and brand should be disclosed clearly and conspicuously, and TikTok requires creators to use its commercial-content disclosure setting when posting commercial content.
Open playbook →KPI & reporting
TikTok Shop Creator KPI Reporting in the United States
US TikTok Shop creator reporting should separate operating metrics such as qualified creators, replies, samples, posts, and LIVE activations from business outcomes such as orders and attributed GMV, with each metric tied to a defined period and attribution scope.
Open playbook →Creator selection
How to Choose TikTok Shop Creators in the United States
Choose US TikTok Shop creators by matching the campaign objective to product fit, content fit, audience relevance, commerce evidence, reliability, brand safety, format capability, and compensation fit rather than ranking creators by followers alone.
Open playbook →LIVE commerce
TikTok Shop LIVE Commerce in the United States
TikTok Shop LIVE commerce in the US requires a host or creator who can demonstrate products in real time, a deliberate product and offer mix, compliant claims, a run-of-show, and measurement that separates LIVE activity from short-video performance.
Open playbook →Creator seeding
TikTok Shop Creator Sample Seeding in the United States
Sample seeding should be treated as a tracked stage in creator recruitment: qualify the creator first, make the product and content expectation clear, record sample status, follow up after delivery, and measure whether samples convert into active content.
Open playbook →Usage rights
TikTok Creator Usage Rights and Spark Ads in the United States
A creator posting branded content does not automatically grant a brand unlimited paid-media rights; US campaigns should define usage scope explicitly and use TikTok's supported Spark Ads authorization workflow when amplifying creator posts.
Open playbook →Category intelligence
Creator ecosystems and selection logic by category.
Beauty creators
Beauty Creators for TikTok Shop in the United States
Beauty is a major category inside D2's current top-100 US TikTok Shop brand sample: Beauty & Personal Care represents 23.3% of summed GMV in the September 1–28, 2026 sample, but that figure is not total-market share.
Open playbook →Fashion creators
Fashion Creators for TikTok Shop in the United States
Fashion is prominent in D2's current top-100 US TikTok Shop brand sample: Womenswear & Underwear represents 25.2% of summed GMV in the September 1–28, 2026 sample, which should be read as sample structure rather than total-market share.
Open playbook →Category Landing

Open source →FAQ
What does a TikTok Shop creator-commerce agency manage in the US?
It can manage the operating layer around creator sourcing, qualification, outreach, collaboration setup, samples, briefs, activation tracking, creator review and reporting. The exact scope should match the brand's bottleneck rather than default to every possible service.
When should a brand use Open Collaboration versus Target Collaboration?
Use Open Collaboration when broad creator access and discovery are useful. Use Target Collaboration when the seller wants a selected creator, a more specific offer or a higher-touch workflow.
Does D2 manage both affiliate and paid creator workflows?
D2's US creator-commerce framework covers affiliate, selected creator and hybrid operating models. Guaranteed-fee work should be scoped separately from pure performance-based affiliate compensation.
What should a brand prepare before contacting D2?
Prepare the product, target customer, margin or commission constraints, inventory and sample capacity, approved claims, content restrictions, desired format, current creator pipeline and the main operating bottleneck.
