Metrics

TikTok CPA can look equal while POAS differs wildly

ROAS

Revenue ÷ Ad spend

TikTok rewards creative velocity and volume. Similar CPAs across hooks often hide that one creative drives cheap, low-margin impulse buys while another drives profitable repeat SKUs.

POAS

Gross profit ÷ Ad spend

Profit Bid ranks creatives and ad groups by POAS from your store — scale hooks that bring gross profit, not just the lowest cost per purchase.

  • Events API purchase value = gross profit per order.
  • Compare creative POAS after one full attribution window.
  • Same COGS engine as Google and Meta.
  • Shift budget when TikTok POAS beats other channels on the same catalog.
