TikTok Shop orders fulfilled using Amazon MCF now receive AFTN tracking numbers when processed through GeekSeller. This ensures TikTok sellers remain compliant with TikTok Shop’s new tracking requirements, without any manual changes to their fulfillment workflow
If you’re using GeekSeller, no action is required.
We automatically retrieve AFTN tracking numbers from Amazon and send them to TikTok Shop as soon as they’re available.
At the moment, TikTok Shop is the only platform that officially supports AFTN tracking numbers. However, GeekSeller already offers the option to use AFTN tracking for other marketplaces if sellers choose to.
Below is an example of a TikTok Shop order fulfilled via Amazon MCF
- Once GeekSeller receives a TikTok order, we immediately send a fulfillment request to Amazon MCF.
- Amazon responds within minutes with an AFTN tracking number, which starts with “AFTN”.
- GeekSeller then automatically sends this AFTN tracking number to TikTok, where the shipment is marked as fulfilled by
Amazon shipping + Amazon MCF Standard— exactly the value TikTok expects when AFTN is provided. - A few hours later, Amazon assigns a USPS tracking number internally, but no further action is needed. TikTok already has the AFTN tracking number and the order remains fully compliant with TikTok Shop’s tracking requirements.
On the SWISHIP tracking page below, you can see that USPS is ultimately used as the carrier for this shipment.
