The independent profit copilot for TikTok Shop sellers

Turn your TikTok GMV into profit.

TikTok can tell you what it charged you, but never what you made, because it has no idea what your goods cost.

The gap

Where a $25 order actually goes

Referral fee, shipping, affiliate commission, samples, refunds and their admin fee, and your own COGS. Add it up honestly and a shop that looks successful can be netting 2-5%.

That margin is your business. Clarum exists to make it bigger, and to make sure the rest never surprises you.

Official TikTok Shop APIs, read-only, with your authorization. No scraping. The app is in partner review; the first cohort connects when it clears.

The incumbent

Your real competitor is a spreadsheet

Tracking profit in a hand-updated sheet is the right instinct. Here is where it breaks.

The job Your spreadsheet Seller Center Clarum
Fee rules when TikTok changes them You update them, if you heard Current, rarely explained Versioned, applied as of each order's date
Refunds and reversals A note to fix later Netted into payout totals Reversed line by line, admin fee included
Checked against the statement Rarely, by hand It is the statement Within 1%, or it is our defect
Freshness Stale by Wednesday Live, but leads with GMV Recomputed on every change

How it works

Connect. Recompute. Act.

01

Connect your shop

Three steps through TikTok's official flow, read-only. The trailing 90 days import while you watch.

02

Every order, rebuilt

Revenue, every named fee, commission, samples, COGS, reconciled against your settlement statements. A gap over 1% is our defect, never noise to absorb.

03

Three things a day

At most three recommendations each morning, each with a stated because. No dashboard to babysit.

The product

Four instruments, one number that matters

Net profit is the first number on every screen. GMV is context.

True Profit Engine

P&L for every order, SKU and day, so the SKUs quietly losing money stop hiding. Product cost comes only from you: CSV, per-SKU entry, or the Cost API.

Daily Brief

Never more than three items. What you mark done, dismissed or snoozed shapes the next brief.

Pricing

Raise LASH-KIT-PRO by $2.00 or pause the listing.

Because it nets -$1.10 per order after fees at its current price.

Policy answers, every source cited and dated. When Clarum does not know, it says so.

What does TikTok take on a $25 order in my category?

At your 6% referral rate, $1.50, and that is the whole platform-fee story on a current US order: the $0.30 transaction fee was retired in April 2023 and there is no processing fee. What eats the order is shipping, commission and samples.

What pushed margin down

Ranked by cost. Every figure drills to the orders behind it.

Pricing-$964.00

LASH-KIT-PRO sells at a loss

Nets -$1.10 an order after fees, and returns run at 2.4x your baseline.

Raise it $2.00, pause it, or mark it clearance on purpose.

Promotion-$437.76

The Jun 19-21 flash sale ran below your floor

Promo orders margined 3.1% against 7.9% the matched week before.

Trim the depth, or exclude the SKUs it takes below zero.

Affiliate-$336.00

Commission flips DERMA-ROLLER-01 negative

It contributes $2.90 a unit before commission and -$0.70 after, across 480 units.

Contribution covers up to 16.1% before the unit goes negative.

Risk-$50.00

Platform penalty, posted Jun 14

The settlement states the amount, not the reason, so Clarum will not invent one.

Appeal path and deadline are in Risk Guard.

Every comparison is your shop against its own history, never an ungrounded benchmark.

An illustrative month, internally exact: the lines sum to the net to the cent.

Questions

Asked plainly, answered plainly

Can I connect my shop today?

Not yet. Our app is in partner review and connections open when it clears. Nobody pays before their shop is connected.

Is Clarum affiliated with TikTok?

No. Clarum is independent. Its advice answers to your margin, not to platform spend.

How does Clarum get my data?

TikTok Shop's official authorization flow, read-only. You never type your TikTok credentials into Clarum. On connect it imports the trailing 90 days, then syncs.

What if I do not know my exact COGS?

Clarum never estimates product cost: a cost it did not receive is a cost it does not have. Until a SKU has one you get revenue, every fee itemised, and contribution before product cost. Costs arrive by CSV, per-SKU entry, or the Cost API, and are dated, so a June price rise never reprices March.

What does the “estimated” badge mean?

It marks a figure resting on a model rather than a confirmed record, such as a fee derived from the rate schedule before the settlement confirms it. What never wears it is an invented fact about your business.

Where does my data go?

Your shop data stays in your workspace, never shared with other tenants. The one narrow movement is text generation, under terms prohibiting training on it. Delete your account and the data goes within 30 days; the privacy policy is binding.

My shop does not settle in USD. Can I use Clarum?

Not yet. Clarum v1 is built for US shops settling in USD, and rather than mislabel your currency it offers the waitlist.

Early access

The audit is free. The first cohort is small.

A small first cohort of US TikTok Shop sellers. The Profit Audit is free, and safety-critical risk facts stay free on every tier.

US shops, USD settlement, for now. Tell us your category and monthly order volume; invites go out in order of fit, not arrival.

That is the whole pitch. The terms and the privacy policy are written to be read rather than survived.
