Off-site Performance Analysis

Data OverviewPromotion Analytics

Summary

What is the purpose of the Off-site Performance Analysis Report and why is it important for TikTok Shop sellers?

  • It helps sellers measure TikTok’s incremental sales impact beyond TikTok, including on their own websites or other marketplaces, by analyzing combined organic and paid e-commerce activities.
  • This insight clarifies TikTok’s contribution to total business growth, guiding budget allocation and operational focus for long-term investment decisions.

How can sellers access and use the Off-site Performance Analysis Report in Seller Center?

  • Navigate to Seller Center > Analytics > Marketing analytics > Promotion > Off-site Performance to access Weekly and Customized reports tracking TikTok-driven transactions on- and off-platform.
  • Weekly reports show key metrics for a selected week and single data source; Customized reports allow multi-source selection, date range, and attribution settings for tailored analysis.

What key metrics and audience insights does the Off-site Performance Analysis Report provide to sellers?

  • Metrics include Off-site GMV (sales off TikTok linked to TikTok interactions), TTS GMV (TikTok Shop sales), and Off-site Effect (ratio of off-site to TikTok sales), plus LIVE, video, and product card off-site effects in custom reports.
  • Audience insights cover demographics (gender, age, region), spending tiers, follower status, favorite content, and purchase category preferences, helping optimize marketing and inventory strategies.

What steps should sellers take if they see no data in the Off-site Performance Analysis Report?

  • Ensure the TikTok Ads account is linked in Seller Center under Marketing > Shop ads > Accounts.
  • Confirm the TikTok Pixel is installed and linked via TikTok Ads Manager’s Events Manager by connecting the data source (website URL) through partner integration or manual setup.

What are the practical implications of using this report for sellers’ TikTok e-commerce strategies?

  • Sellers can identify how much revenue TikTok activities generate off-platform, enabling smarter investment in content, LIVE streams, and ads.
  • Understanding audience profiles and purchase behaviors across channels helps tailor marketing efforts and product offerings to maximize overall sales impact.

Off-site Performance Analysis Report Overview

This feature helps you understand whether your TikTok Shop and TikTok Ads activities are driving incremental sales beyond TikTok, including impact on channels such as your independent website or other marketplaces.
By analyzing your overall TikTok e-commerce activities—rather than ads alone—it provides visibility into the combined impact of organic operations and advertising, helping you evaluate TikTok's contribution to your total business performance.

Why This Matters

You may see sales lift on other channels after investing in TikTok, but it is often unclear whether TikTok is actually driving that growth.
This feature helps you answer practical questions such as:
  • Is TikTok contributing to incremental revenue outside TikTok?
  • Are my store operations, content, and LIVE efforts creating value beyond paid ads?
  • Should I continue or increase investment in TikTok e-commerce activities beyond advertising?
By making these effects visible, this feature supports clearer decision-making around budget allocation, operational focus, and long-term investment on TikTok.
