"We are uniquely suited to bring our large-scale, high-volume, live social shopping experience to TikTok, an extremely popular platform with over 170 million users," David Rawlinson II, president and CEO of QVC Group, Inc. said in a statement.

Through the new agreement, QVC Group will make a larger assortment of thousands of brands and products available, according to the statement. Content will also be created solely for TikTok.

"QVC and HSN hosts have mastered live shopping moments for decades, and we're thrilled to bring this entertaining shopping experience to TikTok's community."
