Everything you'd want to know before you install.
A detailed look at how TikTok Shop & Pinterest Catalog Sync for PrestaShop 8 & 9 works, why we built it the way we did, and the thinking behind the features above.
Two channels, one stock
Selling on TikTok Shop without a connector means keeping two stocks. A TikTok sale lowers the stock on TikTok only, and the next customer can buy on your shop an item that no longer exists. The module handles both directions: every PrestaShop stock change goes to TikTok, and every TikTok sale comes back into PrestaShop, as a full order or as a plain stock decrement depending on how you work.
TikTok orders like any other order
In orders mode, the TikTok sale becomes a PrestaShop order with the price the buyer paid, seller discount deducted, and the TikTok shipping fee. VAT is computed by PrestaShop, the invoice is generated according to the status you choose, and stock goes down as for a shop order. You prepare the parcel, enter the tracking number, and the module marks the TikTok order as shipped. A cancellation on TikTok cancels the order and restores the stock.
Pinterest, from feed to real time
Pinterest imports a catalog once a day. The module provides the TSV feed, with variants, images, sale price, Google category and custom labels, and can create the data source in your account. Once the API is connected, a stock or price change is sent within minutes instead of waiting for the next import. Pinterest validates items after receiving them: the module reads that result back and flags rejected items with the exact reason.
Category mapping in one pass
Map a PrestaShop category and all its subcategories follow. The Google category is picked from the built-in official taxonomy, the TikTok category from your TikTok shop's tree, with a button that asks TikTok for the best category for your products. Coverage bars show the share of active products already mapped.
What you need to start
Pinterest works with the feed alone. For real-time updates, create an app on developers.pinterest.com. TikTok Shop needs an app on partner.tiktokshop.com, linked to your TikTok shop. Credentials stay on your server, encrypted, and no intermediate service sees your data. Finally, add the cron task shown by the module, every 5 minutes.
