What do customers do before they call or book?
On paper the path is simple: someone sees an ad, visits the site and books. In real life they search twice, read reviews and come back days later on a different phone. Each tool sees only its own piece.
How askotter handles it
askotter reads WooCommerce and TikTok Ads side by side, so it can map the path customers take across your accounts.
A person checks the result before it reaches you. This is part of our conversion rate optimization work.
How WooCommerce and TikTok Ads records line up
WooCommerce 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.
WooCommerce and TikTok Ads both keep the UTM source, medium and campaign values from the visit, so activity lines up campaign by campaign even when no single person can be matched.
Shared between the two: the customer email address and the UTM campaign tags.
What customer journey mapping uses from each
Customer journey mapping needs the order of events for one person.
From WooCommerce that means each customer's order history. From TikTok Ads it means the video each visitor clicked from.
WooCommerce and TikTok Ads are on the integration roadmap, so the matching described here starts when that connector ships.
What each tool sees on its ownShow less
WooCommerce on its own
WooCommerce sees the order and, on recent versions, its source tag. It cannot see ad cost or the visits that did not buy.
Timing. WooCommerce writes each order when it is placed, and recent versions save the order's source and UTM values with it.
Access. The WooCommerce REST API with a read-only key.
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.
