Free Sample Leak Audit · no API connection needed

Send 3 exports. Get your sample leak in dollars within 1 business day.

Download three files from TikTok Shop Seller Center, email them to us, and within 1 business day you get a short PDF: how much of your free-sample budget went to creators who sold nothing, what that costs you a week, how often the same accounts claim again, a leak grade from A to F, and the 3 rules we'd change first.

Free · one-time · 1 shopRead-only: we never touch your shopFiles deleted within 30 days

Step 1 · about 10 minutes

Download these 3 files from Seller Center.

Use the same date range for all three: the last 90 days. A sample needs about 5 weeks to show whether it sold, so 90 days gives us enough samples old enough to judge. CSV or Excel both work.

Your free-sample orders

Seller Center › Orders › Manage orders › filter by order tag “Free Sample from Seller” › Export

  • Tells us how many samples you shipped, what they cost and who claimed them more than once.
  • Can't find the tag filter? Export all orders for the 90 days; we pick out the $0 sample orders.

Sample results by creator

Optional, but it makes the dollars exact

Your landed cost per SKU (product plus inbound freight) as a simple two-column list, SKU and Cost, plus what you pay to ship one sample order. Without it, we show the leak as a range at $5–$30 per unit and say so. We never make a cost up.

Before you send: remove what we don't need

The Orders file includes buyer names, phone numbers and addresses. We don't use them. You can delete those columns first (Recipient, Phone #, Zipcode, Detail Address); if you don't, we strip them as soon as your files arrive.

TikTok sometimes renames menus and columns. If a path above doesn't match your Seller Center, send what you can find and we'll tell you if anything is missing.

Step 2 · send them securely

Pick one way to send your files.

We never ask for your Seller Center login, and you don't connect anything.

Simplest

Email the files

Attach them to an email to [email protected] with your shop name in the subject. Tell us your first name and, if you have it, your landed cost per SKU. Up to 20 MB total per email; bigger than that, use a private link.

Over 20 MB

Share a private link

Files bigger than 20 MB in total? Put them in your own Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive folder and share it only with [email protected]. Set the link to expire, or remove our access after you get your audit.

Extra cautious

Password-protected .zip

Zip the files with a password and email the zip. Send the password in a separate message, or ask us for a call and read it out.

Step 3 · within 1 business day

What lands in your inbox.

A 3-page PDF built only from your files. Page 1 is a one-page summary you can forward to whoever approves the budget.

  • Your leak in dollars, per week and per year: what went to creators who returned $0 in sales, at your landed cost (or a stated $5–$30 per-unit range).
  • % wasted: the share of your free-sample units, and of the creators who got them, with $0 sample GMV in TikTok's Sample Analytics for the 90 days you exported.
  • Repeat claims per week: how often the same account took 2 or more free samples within 7 days, and what share of your sample orders that is.
  • An A–F leak grade: scored on the $0 share, repeat claims and your share of creators selling $100+ in 4 weeks, against a 3% working target.
  • The 3 rules we'd turn on first: picked from your numbers, such as one open sample per creator or proof before approval. You decide whether to apply them in Seller Center.
Example audit, page 1: executive summary with the share of sample units that went to creators who sold $0, the weekly leak in dollars and payback Example audit, page 2: weekly leak, A–F leak grade, repeat claims, quality-creator rate and the 3 rules we would turn on
Example only: built from synthetic test data for a made-up shop (sample orders Sep 1–28, 2026). Your audit uses your files and your date range.

Who's behind the leak

The free audit sizes it. Paid names the Sample Hoarders and Post-Rate Gamers.

Villain #1

The Sample Hoarder

Takes free product and gives nothing back: claims sample after sample, often across several SKUs, and either never posts or posts and sells nothing.

How SampleROI flags one: $0 attributed GMV within 5 weeks, plus 2+ free samples in 8 weeks or no content posted.

In your free audit: repeat claims per week, their share of your sample orders, and the dollars going to creators who sold $0.

Villain #2

The Post-Rate Gamer

Posts the bare minimum, a throwaway video almost nobody sees, so TikTok marks the sample complete and their fulfillment rate stays high enough to keep the free product coming.

How SampleROI flags one: TikTok marked the sample complete, but their shoppable videos for your products drew under 100 views and $0 GMV within 5 weeks.

In paid plans: each one by name, with what they cost you. Spotting them needs per-video views, which comes from a read-only TikTok Shop connection rather than these exports.

Your data stays yours.

  • Used only for your audit. Your files produce your report and nothing else.
  • Never used for other sellers. No pooling, no cross-shop benchmarks, no “anonymized” stats built from your files.
  • Deleted within 30 days of delivering your audit, or sooner if you ask. We confirm by email.
  • Buyer details removed on arrival. Names, phones and addresses are stripped before we run anything.
  • Read-only. No login, no connection, nothing in your shop changes.
  • Not shared or sold. See our privacy policy.

FAQ

Before you send.

Do I need to connect my TikTok Shop?

No. The free audit runs on the files you download yourself. You don't connect anything and we never ask for your login.

What if I can only find the Orders export?

Send it. From Orders alone we can show sample units, sample spend and repeat claims. The dollar leak and the $0 share need the Sample analytics or Performance export as well, and we'll tell you exactly which one is missing.

Why 90 days?

A sample needs about 5 weeks to ship, get a video and sell. With 90 days of files there are enough samples old enough to judge. Shorter ranges make the result shaky, and we'll say so.

Is it really free?

Yes: one audit, one shop, no card. Agencies can ask for a free 3-shop portfolio audit.

What happens after the audit?

Nothing, unless you want more. If you do, a paid plan names the creators behind the leak, scores each pending sample request before you approve it, tunes each rule's threshold to your data and tracks dollars saved every week.

Will this change how my agency or team runs samples?

No. The audit is read-only and recommends; your team decides what to apply in Seller Center.
