In plain words

How do I track TikTok ads against sales?

TikTok Ads reports views, clicks and the conversions its pixel sees. Orcabase syncs them through Fivetran into a database Orcabase hosts for you, next to your orders, so you can see what TikTok customers actually buy, and whether they come back.

Ask in plain words, and get the answer with a chart.

How metrics work

  • Hook rate

    2-second views as a share of plays.

  • Completion rate

    Share of plays watched to the end.

  • Cost per new customer

    Ad spend divided by the first orders it brought in.

  • Return on ad spend

    Revenue from ad-driven orders divided by ad spend.

Questions

About TikTok Ads and Orcabase

More in the docs: Sync apps with Fivetran

Does it include our organic TikTok videos?
No, just your ads. Organic posts live in your TikTok account, not in your ad accounts.
Why don’t TikTok’s conversions match our orders?
TikTok counts the conversions its pixel credits to your ads, by its own rules. Orcabase shows them next to your actual orders, so you can compare.
Do I need a Fivetran account?
No. Orcabase uses its own. You sign in to TikTok Ads on Fivetran’s page, and the data lands in a database Orcabase hosts for you, so there’s nothing else to set up or pay Fivetran for.
How fresh is my TikTok Ads data in Orcabase?
Fivetran syncs it every 6 hours as standard, and an admin can run a sync by hand at any time. The page for each source shows when it last synced and when it syncs next.
What does syncing cost?
Counts toward your monthly sync allowance: 500,000 changed rows a month, as standard. Each distinct row that’s added or changed in a month counts once, however often it changes, and the first full copy is free. You choose which tables sync, so you only spend the allowance on what you need.
