How to Add Required Product Fields for TikTok Shop

Product certification files are required for certain categories like electronics

If these required fields are missing, the product cannot be synced automatically to your TikTok Shop store. (For example, uploading manually in TikTok Seller Center without required fields would also prevent product submission.)
