Intelligent Consulting
We connect your Stokly ERP and TikTok Shop quickly, supporting your ecommerce growth. Our consulting services are invaluable, offering a thorough system audit to uncover inefficiencies and integration gaps across your ERP, ecommerce, and TikTok Shop platforms. This audit empowers both our consultants and your team to take decisive action, ensuring your tech ecosystem—including Stokly ERP—runs efficiently. By addressing issues early, you can deliver a reliable, high-quality experience to your customers and keep your ecommerce operations running smoothly.
Detailed Solution Design
Design for the Stokly ERP and TikTok Shop integration prioritises financial integrity and inventory protection. We typically establish Stokly as the source of truth for inventory levels, while TikTok Shop acts as the primary capture point for customer orders. A key design decision involves the trade-off between high-frequency inventory updates and platform API stability. Frequent syncs protect against overselling during peak volume but can impact reliability, so we often implement managed sync intervals to balance accuracy with platform uptime. Financial postings are sequenced to match TikTok Shop settlement cycles, ensuring the month-end close in Stokly remains accurate despite platform fees or subsidies. This structure ensures finance closes monthly off verified Stokly data, while operations works from a synchronised fulfilment queue.
Smooth Integration
The integration synchronises TikTok Shop sales into Stokly ERP as fulfilment-ready orders while pushing authoritative stock levels back to the marketplace. Stokly remains the source of truth for SKU availability, ensuring social sales do not lead to overselling across other channels. We sequence the data flow so that status updates, such as tracking numbers and fulfilment confirmations, post back to TikTok Shop to maintain platform performance metrics. Monitoring is embedded into the flow to detect orders that fail to import or inventory syncs that fail. By governing the timing of these posts, we ensure data integrity is maintained between the high-velocity TikTok environment and the structured financial framework of Stokly ERP.
Visibility
Dashboards often mask underlying issues by showing total order counts while ignoring data drift. We focus on granular visibility that surfaces failures where they actually impact the business, such as TikTok Shop orders that fail to import or inventory records that fail to update in Stokly after a sale. Hidden issues, like unmatched platform fees or incorrect tax treatments, can compound until the month-end close becomes difficult. Our monitoring layer identifies these exceptions early, allowing your team to resolve specific record errors before they impact your financial reporting. This approach ensures the integration stays healthy during peak social commerce events.
Training
Handover focuses on how your finance, operations, and ecommerce teams own the daily reality of the Stokly ERP and TikTok Shop connection. We document the specific operating model designed for your business, identifying which team owns each exception type. Finance learns to reconcile TikTok Shop settlements against Stokly records, while operations manages inventory sync alerts and fulfilment status drifts. Documentation is written as an operational manual for the people running the business, detailing exactly what to check weekly and how to respond to integration alerts. This ensures your team maintains control of the system without needing technical intervention for routine business processes.
Support
Support is focused on ongoing operational health rather than just technical uptime. We monitor the Stokly ERP and TikTok Shop sync for data exceptions, such as failed inventory updates or unmapped financial lines, and escalate these to the appropriate owner. This ensures that technical glitches do not become business problems. We provide a clear escalation path for complex issues and maintain a focus on keeping your order-to-cash process fluid. By managing the integration layer, we allow your internal teams to focus on social commerce strategy while we ensure the systems remain accurate.

Integration operating model

The operating model places Stokly ERP at the centre of your financial and inventory management while TikTok Shop acts as a high-velocity sales channel. Orders flow from TikTok to Stokly to trigger fulfilment, and once shipped, tracking data flows back to close the loop for the customer. Inventory is managed in Stokly and pushed to TikTok Shop to prevent overselling. This structure ensures that your ecommerce team can focus on driving social sales while your operations and finance teams work within a stable ERP environment. By clearly defining which system owns each data point, the business avoids the confusion of duplicate records or conflicting stock levels during peak trading periods.

Common failures

Inventory latency and overselling

Operational impact: During high-velocity sales, even a few minutes of latency between Stokly inventory updates and TikTok Shop can result in significant overselling. This forces the customer service team to process cancellations, damages seller performance metrics, and creates manual work for the operations team to reconcile affected Sales Orders and stock levels.

Prevention / Action: The integration logic must treat Stokly as the definitive source of truth for stock levels. Inventory updates should be pushed to TikTok Shop on a frequent, scheduled basis, not just based on triggers. Implement a low stock buffer on TikTok Shop for fast-selling SKUs to create a margin of safety and establish a clear exception handling process for oversells.

Payout and sales order reconciliation mismatches

Operational impact: TikTok Shop settlement reports often group payouts for multiple orders, deduct variable fees, and include adjustments that do not easily match individual Sales Orders in Stokly. This forces the finance team into time-consuming manual work to reconcile cash received against sales records, delaying the month-end close process.

Prevention / Action: Design the integration to pull detailed settlement and transaction reports from TikTok Shop. The integration should use the TikTok Shop Order ID, stored on the Stokly Sales Order, as the primary key for matching. This allows for automated creation of bank deposit and journal entries that correctly account for fees and adjustments.

Delayed or missing shipment confirmations

Operational impact: TikTok Shop enforces strict Service Level Agreements for order dispatch. If Item Fulfilment and tracking data from Stokly fails to update the corresponding order on TikTok Shop within the required window, it can lead to platform penalties, reduced seller scores, and a poor customer experience. The fulfilment team may not see the failure until the CX team escalates customer complaints.

Prevention / Action: The integration's fulfilment logic must be sequenced correctly. The creation of an Item Fulfilment record in Stokly should immediately trigger a push to update the order status and tracking number on TikTok Shop. Implement robust monitoring to catch API errors on this specific step, with a retry strategy that respects TikTok Shop's rate limits.

Unsynchronised cancellations and returns

Operational impact: A customer cancellation on TikTok Shop may not automatically cancel the associated Sales Order in Stokly. This can result in the fulfilment team picking and shipping an order that Is no longer wanted, leading to wasted shipping costs and forced returns. Refunds processed on TikTok Shop without a corresponding Credit Note in Stokly will also misstate revenue.

Prevention / Action: Configure the integration to use webhook events from TikTok Shop for cancellations and refunds. This trigger should have logic to locate the corresponding Stokly Sales Order and either cancel it or generate an associated Credit Note. Define a clear process for handling orders that have already been dispatched, ensuring the customer service and finance teams have a shared workflow.

Frequently asked questions

How does the integration handle product bundles from TikTok Shop that don't have a matching SKU in Stokly ERP?

This is a common failure point where high-velocity sales meet rigid ERP data structures. If a TikTok Shop order contains a bundle without a corresponding single SKU in Stokly ERP, the order will fail to import. This stalls the entire order-to-cash process, requiring manual intervention to fix the order and adjust stock levels for the component items.

What happens if a customer cancels an order on TikTok Shop after it has already synchronised to Stokly ERP?

Most standard integrations cannot automatically process a cancellation once the sales order exists in Stokly ERP. This means the fulfilment process could proceed, shipping an unwanted item and complicating the returns process. To prevent this, a manual credit note and stock adjustment are often required in Stokly, creating extra work and risking inaccurate inventory counts.

If we refund a customer in TikTok Shop, does that automatically create a credit note in Stokly ERP?

Typically, no. Refunds actioned in the TikTok Shop app do not automatically create the corresponding credit note or reversing journal entry in Stokly ERP. This forces the finance team to perform manual reconciliation between TikTok's payout reports and the sales ledger in Stokly, which can delay the month-end close process.

What is the operational risk if a product's SKU is changed in TikTok Shop but not in Stokly ERP?

Stokly ERP must be the source of truth for the item record, meaning a 1:1 SKU match is essential for order processing. If a SKU is altered in TikTok Shop without a corresponding update in Stokly, any new sales order containing that item will fail to post. This immediately breaks the automated order-to-cash workflow, halting fulfilment until someone manually corrects the data.
