TikTok is back, isn’t it? After pulling down service yesterday (Sunday) morning, TikTok restored it in the afternoon with the notice, “As a result of President Trump’s efforts, TikTok is back in the U.S.!”<\/p>\n

TikTok notice on Jan. 19, 2025<\/p><\/div>\n

On Friday, the Supreme Court upheld the law requiring the owner of TikTok, China-based ByteDance<\/a>, to sell its U.S. operations to avoid a U.S. ban. The law went into effect on Sunday.<\/p>\n

By midmorning on Sunday, Trump posted on his Truth Social platform, “I will issue an executive order on Monday to extend the period of time before the law’s prohibitions take effect, so that we can make a deal to protect our national security.”<\/p>\n

While President Trump’s executive order on Monday should stop the enforcement of the ban, the liability of third parties, such as hosting platforms or app stores, is unclear. Justice Sonia Sotomayor stated<\/a> during the Supreme Court hearings, “Whatever the new president does doesn’t change that reality for these companies.”<\/p>\n

Regardless, brands and merchants have options for social commerce<\/a>. Here is a list of TikTok alternatives featuring short video and live-streaming formats. Some have monetization features, and others have full ecommerce functionality similar to TikTok Shop.<\/p>\n

TikTok Alternatives<\/h3>\n

RedNote<\/a><\/strong> is a China-based lifestyle and social networking app popular for product recommendations and tips on beauty, fashion, and travel.

Instagram Reels<\/strong><\/a> stands to gain the most users from any sustained TikTok shutdown, as the Meta app already dominates the social media landscape. Users can use Reels to create multi-clip videos up to 90 seconds and add text, augmented-reality filters, and audio. Users can start live-streaming by swiping right in the feed and then scrolling to Live. Users can also use Shops to open a storefront on a business profile, along with product tags to distribute shoppable content.<\/p>\n

Amazon Live<\/strong><\/a> enables brands and creators to produce shoppable live and on-demand videos that span multiple categories, including home, beauty, electronics, and shopping events like Prime Day, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday. Streams on Amazon Live can appear on the Amazon home page, in the “Amazon Live” section of the website, or on a seller’s or influencer’s storefront. Products featured in Amazon Live will appear in a carousel at the bottom of the stream. Any registered brand partner is eligible to stream using the Amazon Live Creator app. These livestreams will appear on a brand’s Amazon Store for 30 days and can be viewed live and on-demand on Amazon.com\/live.<\/p>\n

Flip<\/strong><\/a> is a social shopping app to discover products from brands. U.S. direct-to-consumer companies can apply to join the exclusive list of sellers and integrate an existing ecommerce platform with Flip to sync a product catalog.

Utilizing Triller’s auto-editing algorithm, creators can shoot a few takes, tap the “Next” button, apply 100-plus video filters, and add music. The platform will then combine it all into a shareable video. Creators can also produce live video streams. Users can share or distribute via Instagram, Facebook<\/a>, X<\/a>, SMS, and email<\/a>. Triller does not have monetization or ecommerce functionality, but it has launched a SaveMyTikToks.com<\/a> website to help creators back up content by migrating it to Triller.<\/p>\n
