This move aims to capitalize on moments when consumers plan to shop on platforms like Amazon or Temu. The app offers personalized product recommendations, livestreams, and 24/7 customer support, along with exclusive deals and free shipping promotions. TikTok's global business team manages e-commerce, while TikTok Pte. Ltd. handles the app's sales in these four markets. The standalone app may not launch in the U.S., as the company has not commented on the matter.",
