In an exciting event proving the rise of social commerce, the platform will be hosting a shopping experience for its community.

The future of social commerce
As a whole, TikTok’s new shoppable feature will have a great impact on social commerce. Krishna Subramanian, CEO and Co-Founder at Captiv8 says: “Social commerce is disrupting the retail experience in a way that will completely alter the future of the industry, and TikTok’s recent product roll outs for TikTok Shopping are only the beginning of how platforms will continue to evolve their capabilities to allow for seamless e-commerce.”
