The ads that perform best are not the ones you guess at — they are the ones your store data builds for you.
Running TikTok ads through Salla Ads means your campaigns are assembled from what shoppers actually do in your store, not from a product file you keep updating by hand. Salla unifies your store data automatically, then points your campaigns at real customer behavior so each viewer sees the products they are most likely to buy. In this guide, you'll learn what the TikTok integration does, how Smart+ and the automatic TikTok catalog work, and how to activate the catalog step by step.
The TikTok integration in Salla Ads connects your store to TikTok and builds a product catalog automatically. Smart+ reads your store data, picks the products each shopper is most likely to buy, and shows them as dynamic ads — with no manual file uploads and no daily updates to maintain.

🚀 The main features of the service
Smart+: the intelligence behind the campaigns
Smart+ is the AI engine that powers these campaigns. It:
- Reads your store data and selling patterns continuously.
- Compares how customers interact and surfaces the products with the highest chance of a purchase.
- Rebuilds your ad content automatically so it stays relevant to each user.
Over time it learns from the results of earlier campaigns to sharpen targeting and lift your return on ad spend (ROAS).

❓ Frequently asked questions
Do I need to upload a product file to TikTok?
No. The catalog is created for you and your product data updates daily without any manual uploads.
When is my TikTok catalog created?
After your first sales campaign through Salla Ads is approved by TikTok. Activation follows within 24 to 48 hours.
Can I advertise only part of my catalog?
Yes. For each campaign you can show every product or choose a specific selection, and the system decides which of those products to show each viewer.
What does Smart+ actually do?
It reads your store data and selling patterns, identifies the products most likely to sell, and reshapes your ad content so it stays relevant to each user.
How does the integration improve my return on ad spend?
Each campaign feeds the system more data about your audience, so targeting gets more accurate over time and your ROAS improves with it.
Start with one product or a small selection, watch your performance reports over the first two weeks, then decide whether to widen the selection or raise the budget on the products with the strongest engagement and conversion. The system keeps improving how it shows your products as more data comes in.
