TikTok’s algorithm doesn’t stop at your “hook”—it tracks the entire post-purchase journey.

Discover how algorithmic armor—like FedEx 2-Day shipping and centralized inventory—protects your reach. Fix your backend logistics before you go viral, because the algorithm doesn’t give second chances to unreliable sellers.
