How Stripe and TikTok Ads records line up
Stripe and TikTok Ads both store the customer's email address. askotter lowercases and trims it on both sides before matching, so the same person shows up as one customer across the two tools.
Shared between the two: the customer email address.
What combined reporting uses from each
Combined reporting needs a shared identifier or a shared time grain.
From Stripe that means customer emails and any order ID your checkout writes into charge metadata. From TikTok Ads it means ttclids and lead-form emails.
TikTok Ads is on the integration roadmap, so the matching described here starts when that connector ships.
What each tool sees on its ownShow less
Stripe on its own
Stripe knows the payment, the amount and the customer's email. It has no record of the ad, search or email that brought the customer in.
Timing. Stripe records each charge, refund and failed payment as it happens. Payouts land on a schedule days later, so charge date and payout date differ.
Access. A restricted, read-only Stripe API key, or Stripe Connect.
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.
