The products include those “featured in content from some of the app’s most popular creators”.
This is the first time a shoppable livestream will take place on TikTok in the US, and is set to take place today on the Walmart profile page on TikTok.
Walmart US chief marketing officer William White said: “We’re constantly looking for ways to innovate the shopping experience for our customers. We’re moving faster than ever to find new and improved ways to better serve our customers and meet them where they are.
“We created this event for, about and by our community, reflecting the lives, passions and styles of a diverse set of creators, so everyone watching will feel represented, no matter who they are or how they outfit their closet.
