Fix “Title exceeds character limit” on TikTok Shop

TikTok caps product titles at 60 characters. Titles exceeding the limit get truncated mid-word in placements, which hurts click-through. Some accounts also see outright rejection.

What you see in TikTok Shop:

Title exceeds character limit

TikTok caps titles at 60 characters. Past 60, titles truncate mid-word in placements. Different from Google's 150-character allowance — multi-channel catalogs need per-channel title overrides.

Trim by prioritising: primary keyword, brand, key attribute. Drop secondary details that fit better in description.

Top causes

  • 1

    Titles copied from Google Shopping (which allows up to 150 characters)

  • 2

    Long structured titles with brand + product type + key feature + size + colour

  • 3

    Marketing language padding the title

How to fix it

  1. 1

    Audit title lengths

    Export titles and sort by length. Anything over 60 characters needs trimming.

  2. 2

    Trim while keeping discoverability

    Prioritise: primary keyword, brand, key attribute. Drop secondary details that fit better in description.

  3. 3

    Re-submit

    Force a fetch and verify placements show full titles.

Restricted keyword

TikTok's title policy bans specific keywords and patterns — promotional language, prohibited categories, sensitive terms. Items with restricted keywords in the title are rejected outright.

Google Merchant Center

Promotional title

The title contains promotional language ('SALE', 'FREE SHIPPING', '50% OFF', 'CHEAP', etc.). Google's title policy bans this — promotional claims belong in the sale_price field or ad-level extensions, not the product title.

FAQ

Can I have different titles for TikTok vs Google?

Yes — most feed tools support per-channel title overrides. TikTok's 60-char title can be a trimmed version of your 150-char Google title.
