Every TikTok Shop fee, matched to the sale it came from.

Each settled order arrives with its own costs. CogsIQ keeps them as separate lines, matched to the order and to the SKU through its TikTok product ID:

• Platform commission, TikTok's fee on the sale.
• Affiliate commission, paid to the creator who drove the order.
• Seller-funded discounts, the coupons and promotions you paid for.
• FBT fulfilment fee, per order, when Fulfilled by TikTok shipped it.
• Shipping charged to you, including return shipping on returned orders.
• Refunds, from the settlement and the returns report.
• Platform subsidies, money TikTok credits you, added back as income.

Matching is by TikTok product ID, then seller SKU. A row that matches nothing goes to a review queue rather than vanishing, and corrections are kept as linked records, never silent overwrites.

• Warehouse fees. Storage and other FBT warehouse charges come in through the FBT and warehouse fees report.
• Ad spend. From the TikTok connection or an ad spend import, matched to SKUs where the ad names one, with return on ad spend per SKU.
• 3PL handling. For orders your own 3PL ships, a per-order handling fee you set for each 3PL provider.
• Operating expenses. Software, contractors and other overheads, taken from the shop's profit and never from a single SKU's cost.

Each dollar has one home. Fulfilment charged per order lives with the order, not on a purchase order, so nothing is counted twice.

A negative fee is a credit

When an order is refunded, TikTok often hands back part of the fees it took. Those lines arrive with a negative sign. Treating them as positive charges loses the money twice, so CogsIQ keeps the sign TikTok sent: the credit lowers your costs once.

Your discount and TikTok's discount are different

A coupon you fund is revenue you gave up, and comes out of revenue. A coupon TikTok funds is paid to you by TikTok, even though the customer paid less, so it stays in revenue. Mixing the two understates revenue on exactly the orders TikTok promoted.

CogsIQ's revenue is the item price less your own discounts and refunds. The GMV guide walks through why that differs from the GMV figure in Seller Center.

An order's fees are only final once TikTok settles it. CogsIQ shows settled orders by default and lets you include pending ones when you want this week's picture.

Profit can be read two ways. On an accrual basis it is counted on the day of the sale, which says whether the shop is trading well. On a cash basis it is what TikTok actually paid out, statement by statement, with the reserve held and released and a forecast of the payouts still to come. The two never match day to day, and the settlements guide explains why.
