Why teams connect Active Directory and TikTok Shop

Keep the employee, group, and account records that TikTok Shop and Active Directory share aligned in real time, so a person added, moved, or offboarded in one system shows up correctly in the other within seconds.

An ERP and an identity system describe the same workforce from two angles. TikTok Shop holds the authoritative record of who works at the company, and often their department, title, manager, and cost center. Active Directory controls the accounts, groups, and access those same people use every day. When the two aren't connected, every hire, transfer, and departure has to be keyed twice, and the window between someone leaving in TikTok Shop and their account still being active in Active Directory is a real security exposure.

Stacksync syncs Returns and refunds, Promotions, Shops, Products in TikTok Shop with Directory roles, Service principals & applications, Organizational units, Organizational contacts in Active Directory in real time, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of CSV exports and nightly jobs. A new hire, a department change, or a termination propagates within seconds, and where you want changes to flow both ways — the ERP's org data into the directory, account status back into the ERP — the same mapping handles it.

That matters most at offboarding and audit time. When the directory reflects the ERP's current headcount and org structure, disabling access no longer depends on someone remembering to update a second system, and access reviews start from a roster both sides already agree on.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync product catalogs and pricing from a PIM or ERP into shop listings
  • 02 Write tracking numbers and fulfillment status back to TikTok Shop when orders ship
  • 03 Read Users, Groups, and directoryRole assignments into a warehouse for periodic access reviews and SOC 2 audit evidence.
  • 04 Keep security-group memberships aligned with application entitlement tables so access reflects the right teams as they change.

Common sync patterns

Align group and department membership

When someone changes team or department, their group or organizational-unit membership updates to match, keeping access tied to their current role.

One roster on a shared key

People are matched across both systems on an identifier you choose, such as work email or employee ID, so there is a single accurate list of who is active.

Create accounts from new records

A person added in one system gets a matching account or record in the other automatically, so a new hire can be granted access without anyone re-keying their details.

How changes propagate between Active Directory and TikTok Shop

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Active Directory TikTok Shop Sub-second propagation

DetectionActive Directory notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Microsoft Graph delta query (change tracking) for Users and Groups, plus change-notification subscriptions (webhooks) for near-real-time triggers.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to TikTok Shop through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

TikTok Shop Active Directory Sub-second propagation

DetectionTikTok Shop notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook push notifications for order and product status changes, with polling for reconciliation.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Active Directory through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Active Directory: Graph throttles by resource-unit cost per app per tenant in 10-second windows (about 3,500–8,000 units by tenant size); directory delta tokens expire after ~7 days.
  • TikTok Shop: Subject to the platform's per-app API rate limits.
