Step 5  Select a Targeting Location where you will show your ads

Step 6  Select your Catalog

Step 7  On the left side of the screen, under Manage click Products

Step 8  Then click the Upload Product button

Step 9  Select Data Feed Schedule and enter a Data Feed Name

Step 10  Complete the Data Feed settings

1. ​Enter a Data Feed Name: Choose an existing product source or create a new one 
2. ​Enter the Data Feed URL: Write the URL where your product file is hosted 

   Follow these steps to find your GoDataFeed feed pull URL
   

   1. In GoDataFeed, go to Feeds > TikTok > Feed settings
   2. If you haven't done so already, click Create Feed URL to activate the feed pull URL
   3. Click Copy URL

   

   Your Data Feed URL is NOT password protected, you can leave username and password empty

3. Choose Automatic Upload Frequency: Select if you want your catalog to be updated Hourly or Daily
   • If using Hourly select the hourly frequency you want to update your catalog
   • For both options you will need to enter the time you want to start updating your file

   Schedule the feed upload to be after your GoDataFeed import completes

   The time and frequency will depend our your import schedule in GoDataFeed. Typically, we are importing your data once daily around 1am EST. This means, for example, you will most likely select "Daily at 1:50am". If you have configured more imports in GoDataFeed, or if the import takes a long time, then you will need to take these into consideration. After each data import into our system, we compile the feed so that it is ready to be fetched by TikTok thereafter. Review your import history to figure out the best time for TikTok to fetch the feed.

4. Select an Update Method: Choose Replace your data feed
   • Replace your data feed will upload a new data feed to replace your existing one - existing items which are not in your new data feed will be deleted

Step 9  Once you've filled in the information for your Data Feed Schedule, click Import
