Listing, price, and variant sync
Titles, images, variants, and prices publish to TikTok from your catalog, so you edit products once.
The Problem
A Video Takes Off and Your Stock Count Falls Behind
It starts when TikTok becomes a real sales channel. Orders arrive in bursts after a video or LIVE, and your stock counts can't keep up.
01 · Overselling
A viral video sells more units than you own.
Each sale updates every channel, and safety stock keeps your last units off TikTok.
02 · Cancelled orders
Orders the buyers cancelled get copied into your 3PL portal.
Paid orders reach your warehouse only after the cancellation hold.
03 · Missing returns
Returns come back with no record in your ERP.
Returns update your store, ERP, and warehouse, and tracking posts back to TikTok.
04 · Scattered stock
Nobody's sure whether stock lives in Shopify, an ERP, or a 3PL.
We find where your stock really lives, then connect TikTok to that source.
A creator posts a video of your product at 9 p.m. By midnight, TikTok has sold 40 more units than you own, because stock syncs on a schedule, not per sale. Next morning, someone copies orders into your 3PL portal, including two the buyers cancelled. Returns come back with no record in your ERP. Each fix is small, but they pile up on your best days.
We start by finding where your stock really lives: Shopify, an ERP, a 3PL, or Zoho Inventory. Then we connect TikTok Shop API events to that source. Each sale updates every channel, and safety stock keeps your last units off TikTok. Paid orders reach your warehouse after the cancellation hold. Your team handles exceptions, not every order.
One stock count everywhere
Every sale on TikTok or your store updates the same count, minus a safety buffer.
Orders released after the hold
Paid orders reach your warehouse once the buyer's free cancellation window closes.
Returns and tracking flow back
Tracking posts to TikTok, and returns update your store, ERP, and warehouse.
Our TikTok Integration Process
From Stock Audit to Live TikTok Sync in Five Clear Steps
You see the sync map, the test results, and the launch plan before anything touches your live listings. Each step ends with something you approve.
We review your TikTok seller account, your store, and where stock lives, then trace recent orders. You get a written plan and a fixed quote. If TikTok's free Shopify app already covers your case, we'll tell you before we quote.
What's Included
What You Get With a Shopify TikTok Shop Integration
Every plan covers listings, orders, stock, and tracking between TikTok and your store. Larger plans add your ERP or 3PL, returns, channel reserves, and more shops.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from ecommerce teams we have built stores, integrations, and automation for.
We had a different kind of problem. People were visiting the store, adding products to their carts, and then disappearing before they finished the order. We had tried a few apps and made changes here and there, but nothing really seemed to solve the bigger issue. The team went through the shopping experience with us and pointed out things we hadn't really noticed ourselves. They cleaned up the cart and checkout flow, made the mobile experience much smoother, and helped us make the store feel easier to shop. I’m not going to pretend we fixed everything overnight, but it finally feels like the store is helping the sale instead of getting in the way of it.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.

Work Culture
Why Growing Brands Trust Us With Their TikTok Sales
A TikTok integration gets tested hardest on your busiest night. These habits keep it working when a video takes off.
Orders wait out the hold
TikTok holds each paid US order for 1 hour so buyers can cancel freely, per its seller guide. We release orders to your warehouse after that hold ends.
Webhooks plus a scheduled check
TikTok's developer docs warn that webhooks can arrive late or not at all. We pair them with a scheduled API check, so a missed order still syncs.
Built for viral spikes
TikTok throttles API traffic when demand peaks, per its developer docs. Our sync queues and retries stock updates, so counts keep pace when a video takes off.
Renewals caught weeks early
App access to your seller account expires, and TikTok warns 30 days ahead. We route those warnings to your team, so the connection is renewed in time.
Tested in a development shop
We run orders, cancellations, and returns through a TikTok test seller account first. Problems show up in testing, not in front of your buyers.
You own the connection
App keys, code, and hosting live in your own accounts, with documentation handed over. If you change developers, your TikTok sync keeps running.

Good fit
Shopify stores outgrowing the free app
You use Shopify for TikTok Shop orders through the free app, but buffers, warehouse rules, and returns still need checking by hand.
Brands whose videos sell out overnight
A creator's video sends your product viral, and orders outrun your stock counts. TikTok needs to stop selling units you don't have.
Teams running stock in Zoho Inventory
Your stock lives in Zoho Inventory, and you need a TikTok Shop Zoho Inventory integration that reads counts from there.
WooCommerce and BigCommerce sellers
You run WooCommerce or BigCommerce and want TikTok listings, orders, and tracking synced, not copied by hand.
Agencies adding TikTok for clients
Your client wants to sell on TikTok, and you need an API partner who builds the integration under your agency's brand.
Not a fit
Simple Shopify setup
You sell on Shopify from one warehouse with simple stock. The free TikTok app handles listings and orders, so custom work would cost more than it saves.
Other marketplaces
You need Amazon, eBay, or Etsy rather than TikTok. Our Shopify Amazon Integration, Shopify eBay Integration, and Shopify Etsy Integration pages cover those marketplaces.
Stock across every channel
You want one stock system for every channel, not only TikTok. Our Multichannel Inventory Sync service is built for that.
A few TikTok orders
Your budget is under $950, or TikTok brings in a few orders a week. The free app and a daily stock check cost less for now.

Custom TikTok integrations start at $950 for one store: listing sync, order import, safety stock, and tracking. Adding your ERP, 3PL, or Zoho Inventory as the stock source, plus returns, costs $2,400. Builds for up to 3 shops or regions cost $4,600. You get a fixed quote after the free review.
A TikTok integration for one store takes 2 to 3 weeks from review to launch, and 4 to 6 weeks with an ERP or 3PL. The slowest part is agreeing stock sources and buffer rules, so we settle those in week one, then test everything in a development shop.
You connect Shopify through the free TikTok app or through a custom integration on TikTok's API. The app links your catalog, orders, and Shopify stock in a few steps. A custom build fits when stock lives outside Shopify, or you need buffers, warehouse rules, or several shops.
Inventory syncs by pushing every stock change from one source of truth to TikTok and your other channels. That source can be Shopify, an ERP, a 3PL, or Zoho Inventory. Each sale triggers an update, safety stock holds back your last units, and a scheduled check corrects any drift.
Yes, TikTok orders can post straight to your ERP, 3PL, and accounting software. Each paid order reaches your warehouse after the cancellation hold, with the right SKUs and shipping method. Orders post to NetSuite, Odoo, Dynamics 365, Xero, or QuickBooks, and TikTok's fees and settlements post as separate lines.
The native TikTok connector is enough for many Shopify stores with one warehouse and simple stock. It's free to install and syncs your catalog, orders, and Shopify inventory. You need a custom build when stock lives in an ERP or 3PL, or you need buffers, warehouse routing, or several shops.
We avoid overselling by giving every channel the same stock count and holding a buffer back from TikTok. During a spike, each sale triggers an update, so TikTok stops selling at your buffer, not at zero. Throttled updates wait in a queue and retry instead of failing.
Yes, listings, prices, and variants sync to TikTok automatically from your catalog. We map your options to TikTok's categories, since each category has its own required attributes. Price changes publish on their own, and a listing that fails TikTok's product review returns to your team with the reason.
TikTok returns and cancellations sync back to your store and warehouse. A cancellation inside TikTok's hold window stops the order before it reaches your 3PL. Return and refund requests that need approval land in one queue for your team, and returned stock goes back on sale once it's received.
Every plan includes 30 to 90 days of support after launch. We fix failed syncs, adjust mappings when you add products or warehouses, and move you to new TikTok API versions before old ones retire. After that, your team runs it with our runbook, or keeps us on a support plan.
