TikTok Shop has announced a major logistics overhaul for U.S. sellers. Starting in early 2026, TikTok will phase out “Ship by Seller” (Seller Shipping) and require all orders to go through TikTok Shop Logistics Services namely Fulfilled by TikTok (FBT), Upgraded TikTok Shipping, or Collections by TikTok (CBT). Sellers onboarding on or after Feb 9, 2026 must use TikTok-managed shipping from day one, and existing sellers will have a transition window (roughly Feb 25–Mar 31, 2026) to complete the switch. TikTok’s goal is more consistent delivery performance and better tracking for shoppers, but this shift poses challenges for brands with legacy tech stacks.

Many U.S. brands use ERP or WMS software that don’t support TikTok Shipping natively. This means most merchants will face the headache of complying without ripping out their entire fulfilment operation. Re-platforming an existing WMS or ERP on short notice is expensive and risky. So how can you meet TikTok’s new requirements without rebuilding your tech stack? That’s where Voila’s tools come in.

What the New TikTok Shipping Rules Mean for Sellers

• Mandatory TikTok-managed shipping: From early 2026, TikTok orders must be shipped using TikTok’s official logistics (FBT, Upgraded Shipping, or CBT). In effect, “Ship by Seller” is ending – you can no longer buy labels from your own carriers for TikTok orders.

• Limited system support: TikTok provides direct API integrations only for a few popular ERP/WMS solutions. Brands on other systems must either switch to a supported platform or find another way to comply.

• Operational impact: Sellers with mature fulfilment setups are concerned about meeting tight deadlines and rigid rules. For example, existing negotiated carrier contracts and warehouse workflows may be disrupted as volumes shift to TikTok’s logistics.

Rather than forcing all sellers to redo their fulfilment, TikTok’s policy change highlights the need for connectivity solutions. As ChannelX explains, merchants now face a choice: overhaul their entire stack, or use a platform that bridgesTikTok Shop’s logistics APIs with their existing operations.

How Voila’s ERP/WMS Connectivity Platform Can Connect to TikTok Shipping Labels

Voila acts as that bridge. Our connectivity platform lets you integrate any ERP, WMS, or order management system with TikTok Shop’s new logistics layer. In fact, Voila is built to connect with all kinds of back-office software:

• Our “Lightning-Fast Connectivity” integrates Voila with any WMS/ERP/OMS or SaaS platform via open APIs and connectors.

• This means if TikTok doesn’t natively support your system, Voila can. We handle the data mapping and translation so TikTok sees only what it expects (approved carriers, correct label formats, tracking info, etc.).

• No re-platform needed. Your current warehouse workflows stay the same Voila simply links your system to TikTok’s shipping engine. As one industry report notes, Voila “operates as a connective layer between TikTok Shop and a merchant’s current warehouse or 3PL setup” so sellers can generate TikTok-compliant labels and transmit tracking without changing how fulfilment actually runs.

In practice, that looks like this: when a TikTok Shop order comes in, it appears in your ERP/WMS just like any other order. You pick and pack it as usual, then trigger the shipment. Voila automatically calls TikTok’s API in the background, retrieves the official TikTok shipping label and documents, and hands them back to your system for printing. There’s no need to log into Seller Center, copy addresses, or manually upload tracking Voila does it for you in one click. You then print the label at your packing station and send the package out, confident it meets TikTok’s carrier and timing rules. Behind the scenes, Voila also pushes tracking updates back to TikTok Shop so customers can follow their delivery in the app.

By using Voila’s platform, brands can stay compliant while preserving existing tech. As Voila’s own team puts it: we enable merchants to integrate TikTok’s requirements with their ERP/WMS/3PL systems, keeping fulfilment flexible. In short, Voila lets you be TikTok-compliant without rebuilding your stack.

Generate TikTok USA Shipping Labels in Shopify

For Shopify merchants, Voila offers an easy-to-install Shopify shipping app that brings TikTok label generation right into your store admin. This app connects your Shopify store (and the Voila dashboard) to TikTok Shop logistics, so you can create and print TikTok-approved labels without switching platforms. In one streamlined workflow you can:

• Pull TikTok orders into Shopify/Voila: Orders from TikTok Shop flow into Shopify like normal.

• Generate compliant labels instantly: When you’re ready to ship, the Voila app retrieves TikTok’s official label API (based on rules set to pull labels via channel) and prints it alongside your other labels. You never have to upload order info or tracking manually.

• Use TikTok’s negotiated rates: Because the label is the one TikTok expects, you automatically benefit from TikTok’s carrier discounts and subsidies, and remain in compliance.

• Stay in Shopify: All of this happens within your Voila/Shopify interface. No extra windows or manual steps means fewer mistakes and faster shipping, crucial for meeting TikTok’s 3-day dispatch rule.

In short, the Voila Shopify app makes generating TikTok labels “just another carrier” to shop from in your store. You print valid TikTok labels right along with your other shipping labels, and tracking is synced to TikTok automatically. This unified approach saves time and keeps your team focused, not jumping back-and-forth between apps.

Helm WMS: A TikTok Ready Warehouse System

Some sellers may prefer a full warehouse management solution built for TikTok. For these merchants, Helm WMS (a sister brand of Voila) offers a direct TikTok integration right out of the box. With Helm’s TikTok module:

• All-in-one workflow: TikTok Shop orders appear in Helm just like orders from Shopify or Amazon. You pick and pack them using your normal Helm process – there’s no separate Seller Center login.

• Automated TikTok labels: When you confirm an order for shipping in Helm, the system automatically retrieves the official TikTok shipping label and any necessary documents via TikTok’s API. The label prints at your packing station without any extra effort or portal logins.

• Auto tracking updates: Once the parcel ships, Helm pushes the tracking number and delivery events back to TikTok so your customer’s app shows the status. No manual updates are needed.

• Built-in compliance: Helm enforces TikTok’s carrier and timing rules by design, so you stay compliant with all platform requirements.

In effect, Helm turns TikTok shipping into a seamless part of your WMS. Brands running Helm no longer worry about TikTok’s  policy changes they simply pack and ship in Helm, and everything else is automatic.

Importantly, you don’t have to abandon your current system. If you do switch to Helm, note that it still uses Voila’s connectivity under the hood for TikTok. And if you’re happy with your existing ERP/WMS, you can achieve the same smooth TikTok workflow by keeping that system and plugging in Voila (as a Helm partner suggests).

Staying Compliant with TikTok Shipping US without the Overhaul

TikTok’s February 2026 mandate means every U.S. seller must use the platform’s logistics services but it doesn’t have to mean ripping up your tech stack. Voila offers a practical middle ground: we connect TikTok Shop’s shipping APIs to whatever fulfilment software you’re already using.

With Voila’s platform and Shopify app, you can continue using your current warehouse tools and storefront, yet still generate valid TikTok shipping labels, transmit required tracking updates, and meet TikTok’s performance metrics. For merchants needing a new WMS, Helm provides an out-of-the-box TikTok solution.

The bottom line: You can comply with TikTok’s new policy without rewriting your entire fulfilment logic. Connectivity platforms like Voila let you adapt quickly while keeping your operations stable.
