Why teams connect Paylocity and TikTok Shop

Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that TikTok Shop and Paylocity share in real time, so the people Paylocity manages stay current in the system that runs finance and operations.

Paylocity is the system of record for people: who was hired, which department and location they sit in, who they report to, and how they are paid. TikTok Shop runs finance and operations, and much of what it does depends on that same information, from booking labor cost to approving an expense report to staffing a project. Where the two are bridged by re-keying or an overnight file, each side spends the day out of step, with new hires missing from the systems they need and leavers still active where they should not be.

Stacksync syncs Returns and refunds, Promotions, Shops, Products in TikTok Shop with Earnings (Pay Setup), Local and State Taxes, Direct Deposit, Pay Statements in Paylocity field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, so the people side stays authoritative for worker data while TikTok Shop keeps its own accounting and operational detail, and every change made in one is reflected in the other within seconds instead of at the next batch run.

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 Pay Statements and Direct Deposit allocations into a Postgres or warehouse database for labor-cost, GL, and headcount reporting in SQL.
  • 04 React to the Employee Change webhook to pull the updated Employee record and propagate title, location, or manager changes to downstream apps within minutes.

Common sync patterns

Reporting lines drive approvals

Manager and reporting-hierarchy changes in Paylocity keep expense and purchase approval chains in TikTok Shop pointed at the right people.

Where Paylocity runs payroll: labor cost in the books

Pay and compensation data from Paylocity posts into TikTok Shop as labor cost, so finance sees workforce spend without re-entering it by hand.

Where Paylocity is the worker system of record: one employee master

When a worker is hired, moved, or offboarded in Paylocity, the matching employee record in TikTok Shop is created, updated, or deactivated, so the business system reflects the workforce as it actually is.

How the Paylocity and TikTok Shop connectors work

Paylocity

Integration surface
REST API (v1 and v2), JSON payloads
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 client credentials via the Paylocity Identity Provider (/IdentityServer/connect/token) with the WebLinkAPI scope; access tokens expire after one hour and API access must be enabled by Paylocity for the company
Change detection
Webhooks — Paylocity POSTs Employee New Hire, Employee Change, Termination, Payroll Processed, and Time Off Approval events to a callback URL; payloads carry only companyId and employeeId, so the receiver calls the relevant API to fetch changed values. Scheduled polling is used for objects without webhooks.
