Templates apply to TikTok from Creative Factory with the same flow as any other channel: pick a template, pick the channel, pick the ads.
What to know before you apply a template on TikTok
Any aspect ratio works. A TikTok template slot is not tied to a fixed ratio. 9:16 suits full-screen placements best, but a 1:1 template built for another channel can be reused as it is.
One template per ad. No combining several templates or ratios on a single TikTok ad.
Ten templates per catalogue. This is a TikTok limit. When you reach it, ROI Hunter offers to free up slots by disconnecting templates that are only on paused ads - nothing is disconnected for you automatically.
Only Smart+ catalog ads with web conversions are eligible. Video Shopping Ads and app-promotion or traffic campaigns are filtered out of the list.
Use the preview link in Creative Factory. TikTok Ads Manager does not reliably show applied templates. Always generate a fresh link - an older link shows the state at the time it was created.
