## Summary

TikTok has launched a standalone Shop app for iOS and Android in several South-east Asian markets, expanding its shopping services beyond the main platform. The move points to a more direct push into e-commerce, where the app can compete for shoppers who browse and buy through dedicated retail services.

The app offers personalised product recommendations, shopping through livestreams and short videos, and exclusive deals such as free shipping. It also includes secure checkout, order tracking and customer support. The launch markets include Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines; it is not yet available in the United States, and TikTok has not said whether or when it will arrive there.
