How to connect TikTok Shop US to TikTok Shop Mexico

us mx connection

Written by ShoppeDance

US-MX connects the TikTok Shop US and TikTok Shop Mexico stores associated with the same Shopify store. After the stores are connected, you can copy products from the US store to the Mexico store, set local MXN prices and editable product information, and view order processing information for the Mexico store.

Overview

US-MX connection is designed for merchants with the following store relationship:

Shopify -> TikTok Shop US -> TikTok Shop Mexico

The system verifies the relationship between all three stores before enabling product operations. Product copying, editing, mapping, activation, and deactivation are available only when the store relationship is connected and active.

Prices and certain product information in the Mexico store can be maintained separately. Changes made in the Mexico store do not modify the corresponding US store products.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure that:

  • Your Shopify store is connected.

  • The TikTok Shop US and TikTok Shop Mexico stores associated with the Shopify store are authorized.

  • The US and Mexico stores belong to the same store relationship supported by US-MX 4PL.

  • Your account has store and product management permissions.

To connect the TikTok Shop Mexico store, you must connect all three stores: Shopify, TikTok Shop US, and TikTok Shop Mexico.

Connect the TikTok Shop Mexico store

Before connecting the Mexico store, sign in to the TikTok Shop account for the Mexico market.

When Shopify and TikTok Shop US are already connected

In the connected US store, click "+ " to open the store connection settings

On the Set Up page, click Connect for TikTok Shop, select the Mexico market, and continue through the TikTok Shop authorization process.

After authorization succeeds, the page confirms that Shopify, TikTok Shop US, and TikTok Shop Mexico are connected. Click Get started to open the home page.

Complete the initial setup

When you first open a connected Mexico store, the home page displays a three-step setup guide. Complete the guide before managing US-MX 4PL products.

1. Set the product pricing rule

In Customize your products price, enter the USD/MXN exchange rate, then click Apply to all products.

  • The exchange rate must be greater than 0.

  • The system uses US store price x exchange rate to calculate the default MXN price for Mexico store products.

  • This rule does not modify US store products and does not immediately create or update Mexico store products.

  • When copying products, you can still edit the final MXN price for individual SKUs. Manual changes apply only to the current copy operation.

2. Import products from the US store

Click Import products to open the Products on US TikTok Shop tab. Select the products that you want to copy to the Mexico store, then click Copy.

3. Review sync settings

Click Settings to review the existing sync settings.

Manage US-MX products

The Products page contains the following three tabs:

Tab

Purpose

Available actions

Products synced to MX TikTok Shop

View products with an existing Shopify and TikTok Shop Mexico sync relationship

Edit, activate, deactivate, unmap, and bulk activate, deactivate, or delete products

Products on US TikTok Shop

View all products in the US store

Copy products individually or in bulk

Unmapped products

View Mexico store products that are not yet mapped

Map products to Shopify products

Copy US store products to the Mexico store

  1. Open Products on US TikTok Shop.

  2. Click Copy next to the product you want to copy. To process multiple products, select them and click Copy in the bulk action bar.

  3. In the dialog, enter or confirm the exchange rate. The system automatically calculates the MXN price for each SKU.

  4. If needed, edit the MXN price for any SKU.

  5. Click the Save button to start copying.

After you submit the copy request, the page displays a notification at the top and updates the product status:

  • Processing: The request was submitted and is being processed. This does not mean that the product has been published successfully.

  • Active / current TikTok Shop status: The product was copied successfully. The status returned by TikTok Shop is the source of truth.

  • Draft: The product was copied as a draft. Check the Mexico store's product publishing requirements, then complete the product through Edit.

  • Copy failed reason: The copy operation failed. Fix the issue shown in the product row, then try again.

Each US store product can create only one corresponding Mexico store product. After copying, switch to Products synced to MX TikTok Shop when the product already has a Shopify relationship, or Unmapped products when it does not. Refresh the list to wait for the status to update.

Edit Mexico store products

  1. Open Products synced to MX TikTok Shop.

  2. Click Edit next to the product.

  3. Update the editable Mexico store product information, then save your changes.

  • To preserve the relationship between the US and Mexico stores, you cannot edit the following fields for Mexico store products:

  • Product category

  • Sales attributes

  • Inventory

  • SKU

Editable fields saved in the Mexico store are retained as local custom information. Future syncs from the US store or Shopify do not overwrite these protected fields.

Activate, deactivate, or delete Mexico store products

In Products synced to MX TikTok Shop, you can click Activate or Deactivate for an individual product, or select multiple products and use a bulk action.

  • Activating or deactivating a product affects only the Mexico store product. It does not change the status of the US store product.

  • Confirm carefully before deleting a product. Deletion removes the selected product and its sales data from TikTok Shop Mexico, but does not delete the corresponding US store product.

Map or unmap products

  • In Products synced to MX TikTok Shop, select Unmap to remove the mapping between a Mexico product and its Shopify product. After it is unmapped, the product moves to Unmapped products.

  • In Unmapped products, click Map to map a Mexico store product to a Shopify product. After mapping succeeds, the product moves to the MX management list and the associated US store mapping relationship is retained.

  • Unmapping affects future product syncs. Confirm that the action is required before proceeding.

View order status

On the Mexico store's Orders page, you can view order processing information.

FAQs

Why is the Copy button disabled for a US store product?

Each US store product can be copied only once to create the corresponding Mexico store product. Check whether the product's Copy status is already Copied.

Why does a product show Processing after copying?

Processing means that the system accepted the copy request and the product is still being created or receiving a status update. Refresh the list later to view the final result. If a failure reason appears, resolve the issue and copy the product again.

Why does a product show Draft after copying?

Draft usually means that the product does not yet meet the Mexico store's publishing requirements. Open Edit, add or correct the editable product information, and continue processing the product.

Will changing the MXN price affect the US store price?

No. The MXN price applies only to the current Mexico store product. An SKU price changed manually in the copy dialog does not change the default exchange rate or the US store price.

Key takeaways

  • US-MX 4PL actions are available only when the Shopify, TikTok Shop US, and TikTok Shop Mexico relationship is connected and active.

  • The default MXN price is calculated as US store price x exchange rate; you can edit the final price by SKU.

  • Mexico store prices and editable product fields can be maintained independently without changing the US store.

  • Mexico store product categories, sales attributes, and inventory cannot be edited.

  • 4PL order sync continues to use the existing settings.
