Tiktok business registration taking way too long

Topic summary

Main issue: TikTok business verification for adding a store link in bio is taking much longer than expected.

  • Original post: Business registered on TikTok 2 weeks ago to enable link-in-bio; status remains “Pending/Awaiting Review.” Online guidance suggests up to 5 days. A support ticket was submitted with no reply. Device used is iPhone 8; unsure if relevant.

  • Other participants: One user cannot complete the company registration form and asks for help or alternatives to add a store link. Another reports the same pending issue and asks if any response was received.

  • Noted workaround: The only other way mentioned to add a clickable link in bio is to reach 1,000+ followers (non-business account eligibility).

  • Current status/outcome: No confirmed resolution or feedback from TikTok. Key questions remain open about extended review times, registration form difficulties, and device impact. No Shopify-specific actions identified; reliance is on TikTok’s verification or achieving the follower threshold.
