Docs / TikTok Shop Sync / Switching
Migrate from AfterShip
Move from AfterShip to Kizing without duplicate orders: what setup imports, what to switch off and in which order.
Setup recognises AfterShip's TikTok Shop app (AfterShip Feed) from the order source and tags it leaves on Shopify orders. If you use other AfterShip products, such as tracking pages, they're not affected.
What carries over
- Product links. Every Shopify variant already linked to a TikTok SKU is imported as a link, so you don't match your catalogue again. Links that disagree with what Kizing finds by SKU or barcode go to "Needs review" instead of being overwritten.
- Orders already in Shopify. TikTok orders that AfterShip already created in Shopify are linked to their TikTok order, not created again. From then on Kizing keeps them up to date (tracking, cancellations, returns).
- Nothing on TikTok changes until you press Go live.
Switch over
- Install Kizing and connect TikTok Shop. Leave AfterShip running for now.
- In the setup assistant, confirm the connector it found: "AfterShip". It shows the evidence, such as order tags or the order source on recent Shopify orders.
- Review the imported links and anything in "Needs review".
- Map every TikTok warehouse to the Shopify locations that ship TikTok orders.
- Open the dry run. Check that "Orders to create" only lists orders AfterShip has not already created.
- In AfterShip Feed, turn off TikTok order sync and inventory sync for the shop. Leave other AfterShip apps as they are.
- Tick each item on the switch-off checklist, then press Go live.
- Watch the first hourly check. If it reports a duplicate order, AfterShip's order sync is still on.
Why the order matters
Two connectors importing the same TikTok order is the most common cause of duplicate orders after a switch. Kizing won't create an order that is already linked, but it can't stop another app creating one. Turning the old order sync off before Go live closes that gap. If duplicates do appear, see Duplicate orders.
Billing for the old app
Uninstalling an app on Shopify stops its Shopify billing. If the old app billed you outside Shopify, cancel that with them separately. Keep AfterShip installed but switched off for a few days if you want an easy way back; uninstall once Kizing's checks have run clean.
