Introducing A2X for TikTok Shop: automated accounting for QuickBooks and Xero

TikTok Shop is one of the fastest-growing sales channels in ecommerce, with over 15 million sellers. The problem, however, is that accurately accounting for TikTok Shop is a time-consuming pain.

Great news! A2X now integrates directly with TikTok Shop

With A2X, your messy TikTok Shop payouts are transformed into accurate summaries that reconcile perfectly in QuickBooks Online or Xero. You’ll get the same level of accuracy you’ve come to expect from A2X for Amazon, Shopify, eBay, Etsy, Walmart, and PayPal.

Why you need a tool like A2X to reconcile TikTok Shop payouts

Every few days, TikTok Shop sends a payout that lands in your bank as a single amount. But that amount isn’t just your sales. It’s your gross sales minus platform fees, affiliate commissions, shipping, refunds, and reserves. All transactions you need to account for, especially if you want to pay the right amount in tax or truly understand the channel’s profitability. And because TikTok reports revenue by delivery date, one payout often covers two months, making the reconciliation process even more challenging.

Sure, you can use a spreadsheet and pivot tables, but that’s time-consuming and error-prone. Or you can use a third-party app that brings the data into QuickBooks or Xero, but it needs monitoring and doesn’t always get it right.

How A2X accurately reconciles TikTok Shop in QuickBooks or Xero

A2X picks up each payout and posts a summary to QuickBooks Online or Xero for exactly the amount that landed in your bank. You match it to the deposit in one click. No clearing accounts needed.

• Revenue lands in the right month. A2X records revenue by delivery date, the way TikTok reports it. If a payout spans month-end, you get one summary per month, and both match the single deposit.
• Affiliate commissions are visible. Creator commissions post to their own account, so you can see gross sales, commissions, and net margin.
• Tax is handled by country. In the US, the sales tax TikTok collects and remits posts to its own liability account. In the UK, A2X applies 20% VAT to UK sales and zero-rates overseas orders.
• All 140+ transaction types are mapped. Assisted Setup can create the accounts for you.
• Your history comes with you. Up to 12 months of past payouts, depending on your plan.
• Real margins. Add product costs and A2X posts COGS with every payout (Basic plan and above).

“All journal entries matched to bank deposits from TikTok. Before this, it would have been done manually.” Steven Freshour, The Seller CPA.

Already routing TikTok Shop through Shopify?

The direct connection posts by delivery date and separates affiliate commissions, which the Shopify workaround couldn’t. When you switch, run the Crossover Adjustment Report from the Exports tab to reverse any orders posted by both routes. Visit this step-by-step guide to find out more.
