FIX
How to make your TikTok bio link open the Amazon app.
Quick answer
TikTok opens bio links in its own in-app browser, so your Amazon storefront loads logged out. TikTok requires an extra tap to leave its browser: viewers tap ••• → Open in browser, and the Amazon app can take over from there. Use an Amazon app link with your tag so that second tap lands in the app.
Why it happens
- TikTok bio links open inside TikTok's in-app browser.
- Shoppers there aren't signed in to Amazon, so carts get abandoned.
- TikTok doesn't let any link tool skip its 'open in browser' step on organic bio links.
If you tapped the link (viewer fix)
- Tap the link in the creator's bio.
- Tap ••• in the top-right corner.
- Choose Open in browser — the Amazon app opens if installed.
If you shared the link (creator fix)
- Paste your Amazon storefront or product link into the generator below.
- Put the smart link in your TikTok bio and say “tap ••• → Open in browser” in your video or caption.
- Check which platform your clicks come from to see how many TikTok taps you're losing.

FAQ
Why does TikTok need two taps?
TikTok keeps organic bio-link taps inside its own browser. The ••• → Open in browser step is the shortest exit TikTok allows.
Do TikTok ads behave the same?
Ad links follow different rules and can hand off to apps more directly; organic bio links are the restricted case.
