What each tool sees on its ownShow less
POS Systems on its own
A POS sees the sale at the counter. It only knows who bought when the customer gave a phone number or email for a receipt or loyalty account.
Timing. Many POS systems settle and export transactions in end-of-day batches.
Access. The POS vendor's API where one exists, or a daily export.
TikTok Ads on its own
TikTok sees views, clicks and the conversions its pixel catches. It cannot see what happens after a visitor leaves the tracked site.
Timing. TikTok reports conversions under the attribution windows chosen in the ad account, and those counts can include view-through conversions.
Access. The TikTok Marketing API with read access to the ad account.
