Connecting TikTok to Foam: Everything you need to know before you start!

Updated over a week ago

If you're ready to connect your TikTok account to Foam, there are a few things you need to know to make sure everything goes smoothly. Here's what you need to do:

Check Your Eligibility

To connect a TikTok account to Foam, a Creator must be on the TikTok Creator Marketplace (TTCM). But don't worry, joining the TTCM is easy - as long as you meet these requirements:

  • your account must be a personal account (not a business one)

  • your account must have more than 10k followers

  • you should have posted three videos in the last 30 days

  • you must be 18 years or older

💡 If you are not a part of the marketplace but meet the requirements, attempting to connect to Foam will automatically trigger an invite to the TTCM to be sent to the handle you entered. This is quicker than applying to TTCM directly by yourself, which can take up to 30 days to be accepted.

Check if TTCM is available in your country

The TikTok Creator Marketplace is currently available in the following countries and regions: Australia, Brazil, Canada, Egypt, France, Germany, Great Britain, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United States, Vietnam (*as of April 2023).

However, they will be expanding to more countries in the future. You may refer to this article for more information.

Performance concerns

Joining the TikTok Creator Marketplace won't negatively impact your TikTok performance. In fact, a study of ≈150K TikTok videos found no statistical difference in performance between creators who were part of the TTCM and those who weren't. Any drops in video views are caused by in-app fluctuations that naturally occur and have nothing to do with the Creator Marketplace.
