TikTok Shop has introduced a powerful new Customer section designed to help sellers better understand, engage, and grow their customer base. Here’s how this feature can help you increase sales and unlock more of your shop’s potential.
🧭 What Is the “Customer” Section?
The Customer section is a comprehensive dashboard that gives sellers valuable insights into their buyers and followers. It is divided into several key sub-menus:
Overview: 📊 View customer segments such as new and repeat customers, and track trends over time. You’ll also see important metrics like your shop’s follower count and repeat purchase performance.
Outreach: 📣 Build targeted plans to promote your best-selling products, add coupons, and message existing customers. This helps you re-engage both current and potential buyers. 👇
Segment: 🗂️ Categorize your audience into groups such as potential new customers, recent buyers, repeat customers, and frequent shoppers. You can then tailor messaging plans for each segment, similar to successful strategies used on platforms like Amazon.
You can also create custom segments—groups of customers who share similar traits or behaviors—to make your marketing more targeted and effective.
For example, you can build segments such as:
- Demographic segments based on age, gender, or location
- Behavioral groups such as customers who clicked on shoppable videos or added items to their cart
👥 Who Can Access This Page?
- All sellers can view insights and set up follower coupons.
- Sellers with CRM access (SPS ≥ 3.5) can also create CRM campaigns, automated plans, and customer segments directly from this page.
🆚 Customers Tab vs. Followers Tab
- Customers Tab: 🛒 Focuses on people who have purchased from your shop and analyzes their buying behavior.
- Followers Tab: 👤 Focuses on people who follow your shop and helps you convert them into paying customers.
❓ Do You Need CRM Access?
No. All sellers can use this page to view insights and set up coupons. CRM access is only required for creating automated plans, campaigns, and customer segments.
🔄 How Often Is the Data Updated?
Data is refreshed daily, allowing you to monitor trends over the last 7 days, 28 days, or a full month.
📈 How Does This Help Grow Your GMV?
The Customer section not only shows what’s working and what is not, but also suggests ways to:
- Attract more customers 🧲
- Increase repeat purchases 🔁
- Convert followers into buyers 💸

By combining detailed analytics with actionable outreach tools, TikTok Shop gives sellers the ability to:
- Identify and target high-value customer segments 🎯
