Kapanlagi.com - On October 4, 2023, the TikTok Shop service was officially closed by the government. Now, TikTok as a social media account can no longer engage in e-commerce transactions.
The closure of TikTok Shop is due to government regulations regarding the ban on social media serving buying and selling activities. TikTok is committed to complying with these government regulations to close TikTok Shop.
The official closure of TikTok Shop certainly has an impact on profit seekers who sell on the platform. One of them is public figure Lady Nayoan, who also regrets the decision to close TikTok Shop. Lady has been actively selling on TikTok Shop since the end of July and has achieved double-digit sales revenue

A number of public figures from the homeland often utilize TikTok Shop to generate additional income. The same goes for Lady Nayoan, who has recently started selling on the platform since the end of last month.
Lady Nayoan revealed that the presence of TikTok Shop has been quite helpful for housewives (IRT) who are looking for additional income. Lady also mentioned that by selling on TikTok Shop, she is able to achieve double-digit sales turnover.
"Well, you know, we can sell from home. I see it as something for housewives, it can provide additional income," said Lady Nayoan in the Gunawarman area, South Jakarta, on Wednesday (4/10/2023).
"For my standards, there is a double-digit figure. But that's the sales turnover, not my income," added Rendy Kjaernett's wife.
Lady also regrets the closure of TikTok Shop, which has now been officially closed by the government, following the establishment of regulations regarding the ban on social commerce platforms facilitating trade transactions.
"TikTok had interactions with customers, so there was a unique experience. Hopefully, there will be new and better regulations," Lady hopes.
Before TikTok Shop was officially closed, Lady continued to sell her products as usual through live broadcasts without offering discounts.
"No, it's not like that, I just keep it natural. Usually, I have special prices, so I use them," she said.
