Integration detail

Appetier + TikTok integration

TikTok sends traffic in bursts, so the link on your profile should open checkout. You set that link once, and Appetier makes the videos.

What works

With your access: Connect your TikTok account from the console. Appetier builds the vertical video, and you confirm each post and pick its privacy level before it goes out. Afterward it reads views, likes, comments, and shares.

On our own: Without access, Appetier still builds the video and drafts the caption for you to post from the TikTok app yourself.

What it does

Builds vertical videos from your own dish photos and menu, and posts each one after you confirm it.

Who it's for

Restaurants whose videos send sudden waves of visitors.

TikTok gets a vertical video built from your dishes

TikTok takes only video, so every TikTok post Appetier drafts carries one. If you've uploaded your own video, that's what it uses. Otherwise it builds a vertical clip from your dish photos. Nothing in it is generated or stock footage. TikTok's rules also mean the video carries no logo or watermark at all.

You press post on TikTok, every single time

TikTok's rules forbid sending a video before the account owner agrees to that upload. So a TikTok post never goes out on its own. The posting screen shows your account's nickname. You pick the privacy level, since the menu has no default, and you choose whether to allow comments, Duets, and Stitches. A commercial content disclosure is yours to turn on.

Your profile link lives in the TikTok app

TikTok's API can't read or change your profile. Appetier leaves your bio and profile link exactly as you set them. Open the TikTok app, edit your profile, and put your storefront address in the link field. Do it once, before a video takes off. Then tap it the way a guest would and check that it opens the order page.

How TikTok connects

You connect your TikTok account from the console. A TikTok post can't be deleted through TikTok's API, so Appetier marks it as irreversible before you post it. After it's live, the Marketing tab shows its views, likes, comments, and shares.

Common questions

Why does the TikTok link matter so much?
TikTok traffic comes in spikes, and a stale link fails the most people at once. TikTok's API can't edit a profile, so you set the link yourself in the app.
Does Appetier post to TikTok on its own?
No. TikTok's rules require you to confirm each upload, so nothing reaches TikTok until you press post.
How do we connect TikTok?
You connect your TikTok account from the console. Each video still waits for you to confirm it before it goes out.
