TikTok is a fast-growing channel for Shopify merchants, but tracking conversions accurately can be a challenge. Shopify’s native TikTok integration covers the basics, but often leaves gaps that impact data accuracy and campaign performance.
If you’re running TikTok ads and want better insight into what’s working, this guide will help you compare Shopify’s native integration with Analyzify’s advanced TikTok tracking setup.
What’s Missing in the Native TikTok Integration
Shopify’s built-in TikTok app relies mostly on browser-based tracking. It includes some server-side support, but lacks consistent enriched data like email, phone, or IP address — all critical for TikTok’s Event Match Quality.
This can lead to:
- Missed purchases due to ad blockers or privacy settings
- Lower event match rates across devices
- Slower campaign optimization and inaccurate ROAS
Simply put, important conversions may go untracked, reducing the reliability of your performance data.
Key Feature Comparisons
Here’s how Analyzify compares to Shopify’s native TikTok integration:
- Server-Side Tracking : Analyzify sends purchase events via TikTok’s Events API, covering events browser scripts might miss.
- Event Match Quality : Enriched with email, phone, and IP for better user matching.
- Full-Funnel Events : Tracks product views, add-to-carts, and checkouts reliably — even with privacy restrictions.
- Event Deduplication : Prevents duplicate reporting by using consistent event IDs across client and server.
- Custom Product Data Mapping : Choose between SKU, Product ID, or Variant ID for accurate catalog alignment.
- Privacy Compliance : Respects customer consent and aligns with GDPR, helping you stay compliant without sacrificing data.
Expected Results
