New TikTok Shop getting zero traffic. Could AI-generated product photos affect visibility?

Hi everyone,

I recently started a TikTok Shop for pet grooming products. It’s still very new, around a week old, and I noticed I’m getting almost zero visitors or traffic to the shop.

One thing I’m curious about is the product images. They were AI-generated, but I made sure they still accurately show my real products, including the actual packaging, labels, and overall appearance. I only used AI mainly to improve the presentation and make the listings look cleaner.

I also connected the shop to my TikTok account and recently started posting content showcasing the products. Pricing is competitive too, and in some cases slightly cheaper than similar listings.

My question is:
Does TikTok Shop reduce visibility for listings that use AI-generated product photos? Or is this just normal behavior for a completely new shop with no sales history yet?

Would appreciate insights from anyone with experience in TikTok Shop, Shopee, or e-commerce in general. Thanks!

New TikTok Shop getting literally zero visitors. Could AI-generated product photos be the reason?

Hello guys,

I recently created a new TikTok Shop in the Philippines for pet grooming products. The product images in my listings are AI-generated, but I made sure they still accurately show my real product, including the actual label, packaging, and overall appearance.

It’s been almost a week now and I’m getting basically zero visitors to the shop. I also linked my TikTok account and started posting content/videos showcasing the products a few days ago, but still no traffic at all.

My pricing is competitive too. I even made some products slightly cheaper than competitors just to attract initial buyers.

So now I’m wondering if TikTok is somehow limiting my listings because the photos are AI-generated, even if the products themselves are real and accurate? Or is this just normal for a brand new TikTok Shop?

I couldn’t really find a PH TikTok Shop community so I decided to ask here instead. I know things might differ depending on region, but I’d appreciate any insights from people with TikTok Shop experience.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m currently trying to trace a Chinese OEM manufacturer behind a dietary supplement that’s performing well in my country. The product is FDA registered in my country, which is part of why I’m taking this seriously and doing proper due diligence.

My goal is to identify and verify the actual manufacturer behind it, understand how they operate, and evaluate if they could be a legitimate OEM partner for developing my own product line.

So far, I’ve checked Alibaba, Google, and other usual platforms but can’t find a clear match. It seems like:

  • The company might be operating under a different registered or Chinese name
  • There could be a trading company vs. actual manufacturer setup
  • The English name I have may not match official records

I do have more specific details (company name, location, etc.), but I’d prefer to share those with people who have experience digging into Chinese supplier records.

If anyone here has experience with:

  • Verifying Chinese OEM manufacturers
  • Using Qichacha / Tianyancha
  • Matching English names to Chinese entities
  • Tracing real factories behind products

I’d really appreciate your insights.

Thanks in advance.
