TikTok Minis Overview

TikTok Minis is a mobile webpage-based product framework that provides partners with an enriched web app ecosystem in the TikTok app. TikTok Minis offers seamless integration between mini apps from third-party services and the TikTok user experience, thereby extending user capabilities within the TikTok app. For example, TikTok Minis allows TikTok users to watch short dramas from third-party platforms within the TikTok app, as though they were viewing the content on the third party's own website.

In addition to allowing partners to tap into the TikTok ecosystem, TikTok Minis offers the following advantages:

• Accelerated loading capabilities and performance optimization for a better user experience
• Ability to systematically make web content available on TikTok without needing more complex tech integrations
• Customizeable configurations for transaction handling, advertising, and content protection

Prerequisites

Before you start, you will need access to a TikTok developer account on the TikTok for Developers website. You can sign up for an account if you don't have one.

Integration steps

The TikTok Minis integration workflow is broken into three stages that you must complete:

• Preparation: Register an app on the Developer Portal and provide relevant information to your point of contact at TikTok to access TikTok Minis configurations, then configure app settings and information.
• Development: Complete local development and debugging for your mini app, integrate with TikTok APIs, and test your mini app.
• Publication: Upload your code assets to the Developer Portal, import the tested configuration to the production environment, and submit your app for review.

After your mini app is published and publicly available as a TikTok Minis, users can submit reports to provide feedback about user experience, payment issues, or content violations. Refer to the report handling guide for more details.

To begin the integration process for TikTok Minis, follow the steps outlined in the preparation stage.
