Foreign businesses can set up a domestic TikTok account by following these general steps:
To download the Chinese version of TikTok, known as Douyin, from the Chinese app store, you can easily follow these steps:
- Firstly, ensure that you have access to a Chinese app store on your device. You may need to create a Chinese Apple ID or use alternative methods to access the appropriate app store.
- Once you have access to the Chinese app store, search for Douyin (抖音) in the search bar. Douyin is the Chinese name for TikTok.
- Locate the official Douyin app and initiate the download process. Make sure to read the app’s description and reviews to ensure you are downloading the legitimate version.
- Once the app is successfully downloaded and installed on your device, launch the Douyin app.
Now that you have downloaded Douyin, the next step is to register for an account using a local Chinese phone number. Please note that registering for a Douyin account requires a valid Chinese phone number. If you do not have one, it may be challenging to create an account directly.
To complete the account setup, follow these steps:
- Open the Douyin app and tap on the “Sign Up” or “Register” button.
- Choose the registration option that allows you to sign up using a phone number. This option typically includes an option to select your country or region code.
- Select China or the appropriate region within China, and enter a valid Chinese phone number.
- Once you enter the phone number, wait for the verification code to be sent to that number. Enter the code when prompted.
- After successfully verifying your phone number, you will be prompted to provide additional information and complete the setup process.
During the account setup process, Douyin may request relevant business information and documentation to ensure that your account meets their requirements for business accounts. You may need to provide details such as your business name, address, and other relevant information.
Upon completing the setup process, you may be required to verify your account to meet TikTok’s requirements for business accounts. The verification process may include steps like linking your Douyin account with other official verification platforms or providing additional documentation to confirm your business legitimacy.
Please note that the specific steps for verification may vary depending on TikTok’s current policies and guidelines. It is important to follow the instructions provided by the platform to ensure a successful verification process.
Remember to comply with all relevant laws and regulations when using Douyin for business purposes.
It’s important to note that due to regional differences and regulations, setting up a domestic account in China might require additional steps or assistance from local experts.
