Do TikTok Coupons Exist? How Do You Get Them?

Many regular online shoppers have realized that they can get the best deals by using a three-step process.

The second and third steps are obvious: shop around for the best price, and then purchase the product. The first step isn’t quite as obvious, but it’s smart: search to find any discount coupon codes available online.

This approach works for many products you may want to buy. But can you find TikTok coupons? Let’s find out.

All About TikTok Coupons

You don’t have to pay for a TikTok account or to use any of the social media platform’s functions, so coupons would be of little help to most TikTok users.

Those who purchase TikTok coins to tip content creators might appreciate finding coupons that can be used to buy coins, but those don’t exist. You can occasionally find TikTok gift cards that are accepted for coin purchases, and there are several ways to find the best prices for coins (using the TikTok website is the most reliable), but there aren’t TikTok coin coupons as such.

The one exception to the rule is the TikTok Shop, where some vendors offer coupon codes good for discounts or free shipping to regular customers. TikTok Shop coupons are also occasionally available more widely, but you have to know where to look and what to do.

How to Get TikTok Shop Coupons

You might be shocked to learn how many sources exist for coupon codes that can be used to purchase merchandise in various TikTok Shops.

  • Some Shops let you earn points (that can be exchanged for coupons) for watching their streams and live shopping events on TikTok Live.
  • Shops may have in-app contests or challenges, with points or coupons awarded to the winners. Some also offer discounts to first-time customers.
  • Quite a few Shops award points or coupons for referring other buyers, notably to content creators who promote their Shops. Others award points every day you visit their store, even if it’s just to “check in.”
  • Coupon codes may be offered during holiday sales or special promotional events conducted by TikTok Shops.

How do you find these coupons? As we mentioned earlier, you have to keep your eyes open. These tips will give you the best chance to score TikTok shop points and coupon codes.

  • Check Your Home Screen: Some advertisers buy banner ads (or popups) for users to see as soon as they log onto the app.
  • Pay Attention When You Visit a Shop: Take every opportunity to sign up for newsletters, coupon emails, and push notifications of upcoming sales and special offers. There may also be offers on individual product pages within each Shop. Follow your favorite Shops on your TikTok feed, too.
  • Check the Coupon Hub: There is a TikTok coupon hub that you can open from a section of the TikTok Shop home page, and it lists currently available coupons and offers from various Shops.
  • Visit Live Streams Run by Shops That Interest You: Some shops make coupons or points available to viewers during their Live sessions. 

Some websites may also offer what they say are TikTok Shop coupon codes; you can find them with a Google search, but don’t get your hopes up. You’ll find that most of them don’t work, although if you have spare time on your hands, you may occasionally find gold.
