How to navigate Shop analytics in Seller Center

Data Overview

Summary

What are the key improvements in the new TikTok Shop Analytics compared to previous versions?

  • The new Shop Analytics merges “Homepage” and “Growth Insights” into one streamlined module focused on core revenue metrics, eliminating scattered data and ambiguous classifications like “Organic vs. Ads.”
  • It offers real-time reporting for key metrics (e.g., GMV, SKU orders), clearer revenue breakdown by content type, and enhanced Shop Ranking for competitive insights during seasonal campaigns.

How has the GMV (Gross Merchandise Value) breakdown and metric definitions changed in the new Shop Analytics?

  • GMV is now broken down by content type (livestreams, videos, product cards) rather than ambiguous categories, reflecting actual merchant operations and excluding commission-related affiliate GMV, which is now in the Affiliate Center.
  • Advertising-related GMV and metrics moved to Seller Center → Shop Ads; all GMV metrics include canceled and refunded orders and are based on payment time.

Where can sellers find product traffic analysis and advertising metrics in the updated system?

  • Product-level traffic analysis has moved to Product Analytics → Product Traffic Analysis; store-level traffic analysis will be added to Shop Analytics in future updates.
  • All advertising-related metrics, including ad GMV and ROI, are now consolidated under Seller Center → Shop Ads, removing outdated or duplicated ad metrics from Shop Analytics.

What new features help sellers monitor and optimize their shop’s performance and post-purchase metrics?

  • Sellers can view real-time shop performance, including ongoing livestream transactions and traffic, with quick access to top 5 livestreams and the ability to enter live screens directly.
  • Post-purchase metrics like cancellations, returns, reviews, and order complaints by SKU are tracked with trend and composition data to help identify and resolve issues quickly.

What are the practical usage scenarios and benefits of the new Shop Analytics for merchants?

  • Merchants can evaluate revenue proportions from owned media versus affiliates to optimize cooperation strategies.
  • They can analyze revenue composition by livestreams, videos, and product cards to guide investment decisions and track weekly/monthly GMV rankings and revenue changes to adjust operational strategies effectively.

About the New Shop Analytics

In previous versions, sellers often encountered challenges such as key metrics being scattered across multiple pages, complex data navigation paths, and inconsistencies between platforms. To address these issues, we have comprehensively upgraded and restructured the Shop Analytics feature.
The new Shop Analytics consolidates the former "Homepage" and "Growth Insights" into a single, streamlined module focused on showcasing your store's core revenue metrics. It highlights high-priority data and provides a clearer revenue breakdown by content type, removing ambiguous distinctions such as "Organic vs. Ads" and "Owned vs. Affiliate" that existed in earlier versions.
In addition, we have enhanced the Shop Ranking module to support seasonal campaigns like Black Friday. This feature offers competitive landscape insights, allowing merchants to understand how their shop ranks within their industry. With these insights, merchants can identify strengths and opportunities for improvement, refine their business strategies, and further boost both sales performance and brand visibility.

What's New on the Homepage

The new homepage adopts a completely redesigned structure to help merchants quickly understand their store's core business performance and revenue composition.

Homepage upgraded to Shop Analytics

In previous versions, the “Homepage” and “Growth Insights” overlapped by more than 70% in metrics, which scattered merchants’ analysis workflow. In this iteration, we have merged and renamed them as Shop Analytics, providing a structured and in-depth diagnostic view of your store performance to support business growth.
We’ve relocated product-level traffic analysis to Product Analytics → Product Traffic Analysis. In future updates, we plan to introduce store-level traffic analysis within the Shop Analytics page.
  • The current version of Shop Analytics focuses on revenue and reverse transaction analysis metrics.
  • Where is the product traffic analysis now?

A new GMV breakdown by content type

We've introduced a new way of breaking down GMV based on content type, replacing the ambiguous classifications such as “Organic vs. Ads” or “Merchant vs. Creator content”. This new breakdown logic better reflects how merchants actually operate their businesses.
  • In the previous version, Affiliate GMV was defined as attributed GMV for commission calculation, which differs from the GMV merchants actually generate through creator-led sales. To avoid confusion, we now display store-level actual GMV across all sections. For commission-related metrics, please visit the Affiliate Center.
  • With the launch of GMV MAX, the previous “Ad GMV” definition has also been updated. All advertising-related metrics are now available under Seller Center → Shop Ads.

Core revenue metrics at a glance

The new homepage focuses on showcasing key metrics that directly reflect your store’s overall revenue performance, helping merchants quickly grasp their business status.
  • We've upgraded several key metrics in the analytics to real-time reporting, so merchants can now view real-time figures for their most important indicators (e.g., GMV, SKU orders).
  • We've also consolidated overlapping metrics to improve clarity. If you notice a metric missing from the new layout, please refer to the “Metrics Navigation” section at the end of this document to locate where it’s now displayed.
