Step-by-step campaign launch · Updated October 2026 · Policies verified October 2026

Short answer

Pick the product, set a daily budget and ROI target, add or authorize creative, launch, and let it learn before making changes. Change one variable at a time.

TikTok's documentation says Product GMV Max reports can include orders for promoted products from organic and affiliate content, not just paid delivery. Reported GMV Max ROI is not the same as incremental ad profit.
