TikTok announced the expansion of TikTok Shop to Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Poland, with availability beginning June 15. The move follows the platform's initial EU launch in late 2024 and early 2025, which already includes France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Ireland. TikTok reports that over 100,000 European businesses have joined TikTok Shop in those markets, driving triple-digit daily GMV growth between August 2025 and February 2026. The expansion includes a 'Sell Across Europe' feature allowing sellers to localize listings and ship across EU markets using partnered logistics providers. TikTok aims to replicate the success of Douyin, which generated over $500 billion in GMV in 2023.
tiktok shop is rolling out to austria, belgium, netherlands, and poland starting june 15. the company says 100k+ european businesses already use it in five other eu countries, and daily gmv grew triple digits from aug 2025 to feb 2026. they're also launching a 'sell across europe' feature so sellers can ship cross-border easily. basically they want to turn tiktok into a shopping app like douyin did in china.
TikTok's steady expansion of its in-app shopping feature across Europe signals a strategic push to diversify revenue beyond advertising, especially amid regulatory scrutiny in the US and EU. The 'Sell Across Europe' initiative could lower barriers for small sellers and creators, potentially reshaping cross-border e-commerce in the region. If TikTok Shop gains traction, it may force competitors like Instagram and YouTube to accelerate their own shopping integrations.
tiktok is quietly building an entire e-commerce ecosystem in europe while everyone's focused on the us ban drama. the 'sell across europe' thing is smart — it lets sellers treat the whole eu as one market. if this works, expect every other platform to copy it. also, 100k businesses in under two years is not nothing.
