How to Delete TikTok Ads Account

This article provides step-by-step instructions to create your TikTok Ads Manager account, from account registration to account setup and approval.

1. Create a login

1. Go to https://ads.tiktok.com/i18n/signup/ to start the process.
2. Create a login using an email address or phone number and set a password. These are your login credentials. You will need to use them to access your TikTok Ads Manager account.
3. After you agree to the TikTok terms & conditions and click Sign up, you will be asked to verify a code sent to the email or phone number provided.

2. Create an advertiser account

Provide basic information about your business, including the following:

• Country or Region – We give you the best experience based on your local regulations and requirements.
• Industry – We’ll give you more relevant and effective advertising tips.
• Legal Business Name – We use this to verify your business for legal and billing purposes. If your “Business Name” does not match the actual name of your business, your account will be disapproved and it may be harder to access other TikTok for Business tools.
• Time Zone – We sync your campaign reporting and scheduling to match your time zone. It may be hard to change this later.
• Phone Number – We contact you at this number to provide you with information on how to optimize your ads.
• Currency – We bill you and display budgets based on this.

Agree to the terms and click Register.

Note: Depending on where you’ve registered your account, you may have the option to submit documents to verify your business identity. To learn more, refer to About Business Verification.

3. Set up billing information

• Provide info related to billing and payment on this page.

Note: Your ad account will be automatically submitted for approval after you complete steps 1-3. Your ads will not run until your account is approved, but you will be able to build campaigns on Ads Manager. Most account reviews take less than 24 hours. You can check your account approval status under Account Settings, then Account Info. To learn more, refer to Account Approval FAQs .

4. Build your first campaign

Choose a mode that works best for your campaign creation needs:

• Advertisers who are new to running online ads or who are looking for immediate campaign creation may find the Simplified Mode a good fit.

Follow the steps in the mode that you selected to create your first campaign.

5. Submit your first ad and finish payment

• After you submit your first campaign, Ads Manager will check your billing and payment information. It may prompt you to confirm the details and add a payment or balance to your account.
