TikTok creators will soon be able to sell merch on the app. TikTok already launched “Shop Now” and now they’re quickly ramping up their social shopping offerings. The app is collaborating with Teespring to roll out an integration this month that will allow users to “monetize their popularity” and sell their self-made merch directly to their fans. Thousands of creators have already partnered with the ecommerce platform to beta test and start selling items to their followers. Our Retail’s New Reality trend report found that 73% of 13-39-year-olds are open to buying products on social media. (The Verge)
