The Problem

TikTok Shop is the fastest growing ecommerce platform but sellers have no data. They guess which products to sell, which creators to partner with, and what content works.

Pain Severity: Critical - sellers are flying blind in a $20B marketplace. Wrong product choices mean $10K+ in dead inventory.

The Solution

Scrape and analyze TikTok Shop data to show trending products, estimated sales, creator performance, and viral content patterns. Help sellers find products before they peak.

Target Audience

TikTok Shop sellers, dropshippers, DTC brands expanding to social commerce. 500K+ active sellers on TikTok Shop US.
