Converge ICT Solutions, the Department of Trade and Industry and TikTok Shop have launchedSellerPlus, a package aimed at Filipino MSMEs, livestreamers, creators and home-based entrepreneurs. Rappler and Newsbytes.PH reported that the program combines a 200 Mbps Converge fiber connection with TikTok Shop seller tools and incentives. New TikTok Shop sellers signing up under the program can receive 0% commission for their first 90 days, alongside customer support, campaign traffic and voucher assistance. The offer is a program description, not a guarantee of sales, earnings or business growth.
Reports also describe seller missions that can earn vouchers, support through TikTok Shop’s monthly Sariling Atin campaign and personal-accident insurance from AXA. The package connects sellers with training and mentorship through BizFriend PH and BizPro Rockstar, covering partnership law, digital marketing, tax compliance, communication and business growth. The reviewed reports do not state a complete public price, enrollment deadline, geographic eligibility or all legal terms. Sellers should confirm those details directly before signing up, especially because 0% commission applies to new sellers under the stated program conditions.
The initiative is linked to DTI’s Bagong Pilipinas AI and Scale-Up Center in Makati, where entrepreneurs can access demonstrations and training involving content generators, customer-service bots and inventory software. Those are training and digital-skills resources; the reporting does not prove that every SellerPlus subscriber receives proprietary AI software or a guaranteed technology package. TikTok’s separate newsroom release confirms a broader partnership with DTI and Converge and says its Cebu Unlad Lokal program trained more than 35,000 MSMEs, but those figures are not SellerPlus performance results.
For Filipino online sellers, the practical value is the combination of connectivity, commerce tools and business support in one program rather than a standalone internet promotion. The package may help entrepreneurs who rely on livestreaming, product uploads and customer messaging, but fees, eligibility, coverage and renewal terms still need confirmation. The strongest confirmed news is the launch and its described benefits. Sellers should retain written terms, distinguish platform commission from other charges and avoid treating the introductory 90-day incentive as a permanent TikTok Shop policy.
