§2 The three developer types
The three developer types
| Developer type | Builds | Stores seller OAuth credentials? | Data access | Typical scenario |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| eCommerce platform plugin / connector developer | Public app | Usually no | Limited, scenario-specific | Plugins for Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento that add TikTok Shop support |
| eCommerce system integrator / SaaS developer | Public app | Yes (trusted to store bearer & refresh tokens) | Direct access to authorized sellers' data | SaaS managing advertising, promotion, marketing, and operations for many sellers |
| TikTok Shop seller developer | Custom app | Own credentials only | Your own shop's data only | A seller building an integration for their own shop |
§3 eCommerce platform developers
eCommerce platform developers
Developers who create plugins for popular eCommerce platforms such as Shopify, WooCommerce, or Adobe Magento. These plugins extend the platform to support a specific marketplace such as TikTok Shop. This type typically does not need to store seller OAuth credentials or data.
§4 eCommerce system integrators
eCommerce system integrators
Developers who build systems to manage advertising, product promotion, marketing, and other business functions on behalf of their seller and merchant customers. Some are SaaS products with a user interface; others manage operations directly. This type typically requires direct access to a seller's data and is trusted to store and generate OAuth credentials such as bearer and refresh tokens.
§5 TikTok Shop seller developers
TikTok Shop seller developers
TikTok Shop sellers who have an active shop and want to build an integration for their own shop's needs. This type has access to their own OAuth credentials and data only.
§6 How developer type maps to `user_type`
How developer type maps to user_type
When a user authorizes your app, the token response includes a user_type field. Platform/integrator developers act on behalf of a Seller (user_type=0); apps built for affiliate creators receive Creator (user_type=1); affiliate partner (TAP) apps receive Partner (user_type=3). See Authorization overview for the complete enumeration.
New to OAuth terms? An OAuth credential is what your app uses to act for a user. A bearer (access) token authorizes each API call; a refresh token lets you obtain a new access token without re-authorizing. The full flow is described in the Authorization overview.
