PROGRES.ID – TikTok Shop is officially closed in Indonesia starting today, Wednesday, October 4, 2023. This decision coincides with the prohibition of social media use alongside e-commerce, also known as social commerce. TikTok has officially announced that they will respect and comply with the laws of Indonesia, and therefore, will no longer facilitate e-commerce transactions on TikTok Shop Indonesia.
