CommentSold’s new, easy-to-use Insights dashboard empowers you with confidence to make data-driven decisions that increase profitability and grow your business!
The TikTok Insights dashboard helps you gain an understanding of your overall TikTok business, with both lifetime and time-restricted metrics, so you can make better posting, buying, selling, and customer service decisions.
If you ever disconnect your TikTok integration, your TikTok Insights tab will disappear; however, the data will always remain. This means if you reconnect TikTok at a later date, any data from your previous use of TikTok (such as all-time data) would become visible and searchable again.
TikTok Insights Data Sets
There are five sets of data on your TikTok Insights tab: Metrics for All-Time, Metrics for Last 7 Days, Metrics for Filtered Date Range, Marketing Data, and . We walk through these data sets on the below tabs.
| Data Set | Information Displayed | How You Can Use It |
| Total Orders | Displays the total amount of orders placed via TikTok since you began selling on TikTok via CS. | This data informs you on your lifetime TikTok selling journey. |
| Net Receipts |
Displays the total price of goods sold + sales tax and customer-paid shipping - customer coupons or credits since you began selling on TikTok via CS. |
This data informs you on your lifetime TikTok selling journey. |
| Average Order Value (AOV) |
Display the average order value (net receipts per order) for items sold on TikTok since you began selling on TikTok via CS. Note: Ideally, you want your Average Order Value (AOV) above $40 per customer. |
If your AOV is under $40, first compare this figure to your AOV for the last 7 days or a particular filtered date range. If those numbers are above $40, no action is needed. If your all-time and time-restricted AOV is under $40, consider incorporating higher priced items in your shoppable posts/TikTok live sales, adding accessories, or creating a "shop the look" stye to increase AOV. |
| Unique TikTok Customers | Displays the number of unique customers who have placed an order with you on TikTok since since you began selling on TikTok via CS. | This data informs you on your lifetime TikTok selling journey. |
These data points include the last 7 full days and does not include metrics from the current, partial day.
| Data Set | Information Displayed | How You Can Use It |
| Total Orders | Displays the total amount of orders placed via TikTok in the last seven days. |
Use this data to identify trends. For example, are there days when you have more orders? Can you identify behaviors that spiked your order total, or did you feature an item that sold very well? Use this information to adjust your selling behavior, such as posting more shoppable posts, going live at a particular time or on a particular day, or featuring a particular item that sold well. |
| Net Receipts |
Displays the total price of goods sold + sales tax and customer-paid shipping - customer coupons or credits for the last seven days. |
Use this data to identify trends. For example, are there particular days your net receipts were higher or lower? Can you identify behaviors that caused a change in your net receipts, or did a particular item sell well (or not well)? Use this information to adjust your selling behavior such as featuring or eliminating a particular item, posting more shoppable posts, or going live more frequently. |
| Average Order Value (AOV) |
Displays the average order value (net receipts per order) for items sold on TikTok in the last seven days. Note: Ideally, you want your Average Order Value (AOV) above $40 per customer. |
If your AOV is under $40, consider incorporating higher-priced items into your shoppable posts/live sales, adding on accessories, emphasizing an entire “shop the look” style, or even featuring a best-selling, hot item that is in a higher price range. |
| Unique TikTok Customers | Displays the number of unique customers who have placed an order with you on TikTok in the last seven days. |
Use this data to identify trends. For example, are there days when your unique customer count was higher or lower? Can you identify behaviors responsible for the variations?

| Last 7 Days TikTok First Time and Repeat Customers | Displays the total number of unique customers versus repeat customers on TikTok for the last 7 days, broken down by day. |
Use this data to determine if you are getting repeat customers on TikTok. If you want to increase the number of repeat customers, encourage your new customers to do a short video TikTok review and tag your shop or consider sending a thank you note to each new customer. NOTE: Because TikTok does not sync email addresses to 3rd parties, including CommentSold, there is no way to identify repeat or existing CommentSold customers outside of the TikTok app. |

| All Time TikTok Customer Marketing (Not Filterable) | Displays a list of your unique customers from TikTok, with TikTok Customer ID, customer name, and customer address. |
TikTok does not sync customer email addresses with 3rd parties, including CS. However, they do provide the name and shipping address of customers. Our recommendation is that you use this list to send targeted postcards to your TikTok customers with a QR code for downloading your app and a special coupon code for 1st time app purchases (make it something unique to your TikTok shoppers, such as TIKTOK15, so that you can track its usage in CS). |

Please note: We define Customer Crossover as any customers who FIRST purchased on TikTok ("TT Sourced Customers") and then later made a non-TikTok purchase (e.g., mobile app, website). These crossover customers are identified by matching street address and zip code within their TikTok and non-TikTok customer accounts. Given the nature of the matching process, this may not capture every crossover customer but should provide helpful insights about customer crossover trends and opportunities.
| Data Set | Information Displayed | How You Can Use It |
| All Time Metrics |
Displays all-time metrics for you total TikTok Sourced Customers, % of Crossover from Sourced Customers, TikTok Source Customer with Crossover, and Crossover Non-TikTok Net Receipts. |
Know at-a-glance how many customers who made their first purchase via TikTok are making additional purchases through a non-TikTok sales channel (i.e., via your mobile app or website). This can help you evaluate past and future efforts to target and convert these customers. |
| Cumulative TikTok Crossover Customers by Week | Displays a graph that allows you to chart the cumulative growth of TikTok customers who have made additional purchases via non-TikTok sales channels (i.e., via your mobile app or website). |
Identify whether you are continuing to grow your number of crossover customers. Ideally, this number continues to increase, but if there is a decrease, drill into the weeks to determine factors. If you experience a plateau, consider marketing efforts that target your TikTok customers and incentivize a second purchase on your CS sales channels (e.g., include a card in their order with an app-only discount for their next order). |
| Cumulative TikTok Crossover Customers as % of Total TikTok Sourced Customers | Displays the percentage of crossover customers of total TikTok customers over time. |
Know which weeks yielded a higher percentage of crossover customers, and try to identify any marketing efforts or trends during that time that could've contributed to that higher number. If possible, replicate those efforts if the timing or situation makes sense for your shop. |
| Non-Crossover TikTok Sourced Customers | Displays the percent of TikTok customers that have made additional purchases via non-TikTok sales channels. If available, will also show this percentage broken out by the number of orders crossover customers have placed. |
See at-a-glance the percentage of crossover customers. A breakdown by number of orders can help you determine whether efforts to convert these customers to long-term customers are successful, or if you need to re-evaluate your methods. |
| Crossover TikTok Sourced Customers |
Displays a list of customers identified as crossover customers (meaning they placed their first over via TikTok and subsequent orders via a non-TikTok sales channel). Customers are matched based on address and zipcode data. |
Export a list of crossover customers for marketing purposes. Create retargeting campaigns and look-alike audiences for advertising on other platforms. |
