Reconcile TikTok Shop affiliate and advertising overlap
TikTok Shop affiliate creatives can generate creator commission and Gross Revenue attributed to both Ads and Affiliate. Keep creator commission, Shop Ads cost, marketplace fee, retained platform funding, and allocated channel cost in separate lines so the same economic burden is not omitted or counted twice.
Use the Affiliate Center or accepted aggregate commission evidence for the final commission rather than assuming an Ads reporting estimate is final. Align the attribution and Finance windows before comparing the packet with Shopify.
Keep TikTok Gross Revenue outside retained revenue
TikTok defines Shop Ads Gross Revenue from customer payment, sales tax, and platform price discount, while Seller Center GMV and seller-retained Finance value answer different questions. The fee comparison uses comparable customer revenue plus only verified retained platform funding.
A dashboard Gross Revenue adjustment is not automatically a credit the seller keeps. Reconcile funding and deductions in Finance before using the amount to improve TikTok Shop contribution.
