In plain English

ShopTok is a phone app that helps people find deals by watching short product videos. You scroll through reviews, see the price and the discount right away, and tap through to buy at a trusted online store covering electronics, home goods, beauty, fashion, sports, and toys. ShopTok does not keep or ship the products itself. Shoppers pay a subscription, and they can also buy packs of points, because hunting for a real discount is tiring. The AI does most of the matching of videos and prices, and payment collection is handled too, while the person running the app still checks quality, helps shoppers, and shares it.
