<p>Canadian e-commerce company Shopify said businesses will be able to add a shopping tab to their TikTok profiles to create a “mini-storefront” that links directly to their online store for checkout.</p>
<p>The shopping tool, which is still being tested, is available to merchants in the US, the UK and Canada, and will roll out to more regions in the coming months.</p>
<p>Shopify already had a deal with TikTok that let merchants create “shoppable” video ads that drive customers to online stores.</p>

<p>Buying products through social media websites is not yet as common in the US, though Pinterest and Facebook-owned Instagram have made some inroads.</p>
<p>Reality star Kylie Jenner is among the first merchants to participate in the programme by selling her skincare and cosmetics line through TikTok.</p>
