TikTok Shop Analytics: How eCommerce Brands Can Unlock Growth with Conjura

What is TikTok Shop?

TikTok Shop is TikTok's built-in shopping feature that lets businesses sell products directly through the TikTok app. Conjura tracks your TikTok Shop sales, fees, and customer data.


Fees & Costs

What fees does TikTok Shop charge me?

TikTok Shop takes several types of fees from your sales:

  • Platform Commission: TikTok's cut of each sale

  • Creator Commission: Payments to TikTok creators who promote your products

  • Service Fees: Delivery fees, small order fees, and buyer service fees

These are all combined into the Product Level Merchant Fees & Product Level Merchant Refunded Fees in Conjura's reporting.

Why don't my TikTok Shop profits match what I expect?

TikTok Shop's fees are deducted from your gross sales. Conjura shows both your gross revenue and the fees taken, so you can see your actual profit after TikTok's cuts.

Can I see fees for individual products?

Yes, Conjura breaks down fees at the product level, so you can see exactly what TikTok charged for each item sold.

Why are my fees sometimes zero?

Conjura pulls fees from Tiktok's transaction statements. There is often a lag between being placed and it's respective statement being available. When available from Tiktok's API, we pull the fees through to our reporting.

Can I see my TikTok Shop returns?

Yes, Conjura pulls returns from Tiktok Shop's API.


Store & Channel Data

How is TikTok Shop categorised in my reports?

  • Sales Channel: TikTok Shop

  • Sales Channel Category: Social Store

  • Store Name: TikTok Shop

How do I see my TikTok Shop US data?

TikTok Shop US operates using a completely different API with separate requirements to every other marketplace. We do not currently connect to this, but is on our roadmap.


Common Data Questions

How much order data does Conjura pull?

Conjura pulls order data going back 3 years from initial sign up.

What date is used in Conjura's reporting?

There are multiple dates available in TikTok Shop's order data.

  • Order Date: When the customer placed the order

  • Payment Date: When TikTok processed the payment

Conjura uses the Order Date for reporting.

Can I track which TikTok creators drove my sales?

Conjura tracks creator commission fees, which shows when a creator was involved in the sale, but specific creator names aren't provided by TikTok Shop's data.

Can I track my TikTok Shop stock?

Unfortunately this data is not available within the Conjura platform. However, if you are using an ERP like Brightpearl or Linnworks, stock tracked there will be present within Conjura.
