Order status in chat for TikTok Shop
Yes. AeroChat answers “where is my order?” in TikTok Shop buyer chat. It asks for the order number, looks up the row in your Google Sheet where your team logs packed orders, tells the buyer when it was handed to the courier, and points them to the live tracking on the order page in the TikTok app. If you do not keep a Sheet, it answers from your packing times. Tracking and delivery stay in TikTok Shop.
This recipe handles order status questions in TikTok Shop buyer chat. Part of TikTok Shop and AeroChat.
What happens today
“Where is my order?” is the question buyers ask most after they pay. On TikTok Shop, the tracking is already on the order page, but buyers still message you, often before the courier has picked the parcel up. Someone on your team checks the order and types the same reply again and again. See WISMO.
The flow that works
- A buyer asks where their order is in TikTok Shop buyer chat.
- AeroChat asks for the order number if the buyer has not given it.
- It looks up the order number in your Dispatch Sheet.
- If the order is there, it tells the buyer the date it went to the courier and points them to the tracking on the order page in the TikTok app.
- If the order is not there yet, it tells them your packing time from your delivery policy.
- If the order is later than your limit, it hands the chat to your team with the order number.

The recipe
Copy this into AeroChat
When a buyer in TikTok Shop buyer chat asks where their order is, follow these steps.
- Ask for the order number if they have not given it.
- Look up the order number in our Dispatch Sheet.
- If it is there, tell them the date we handed it to the courier and that they can follow the parcel from the order page in the TikTok app.
- If it is not there, tell them our packing time from our delivery policy.
- If the order is more than 7 days old (example) and still not delivered, apologize and hand the conversation to our team with the order number.
Never promise a delivery date. Never share another buyer’s order details. Reply in the buyer’s language.
Add your packing times to AeroChat’s knowledge before you paste it. If your team keeps a Dispatch Sheet, add columns for order number and date sent.
What stays in TikTok Shop
AeroChat handles the conversation. Orders, shipping and the courier tracking stay in TikTok Shop. AeroChat reads only the order number the buyer gives and your own Sheet, and never sends an outside tracking link in TikTok Shop buyer chat.
What to connect
- Your TikTok Shop. Connect it from the AeroChat dashboard. TikTok Shop sets its own approval steps for chat access, and our team takes you through them. See TikTok Shop and AeroChat.
- Your Dispatch Sheet, if you keep one. A Google Sheet with the order number and the date each parcel went to the courier.
- Your delivery policy. Packing times and what happens on public holidays and sale days.
After you paste the recipe, AeroChat builds the workflow as a draft and shows a checklist of what is left to switch on: connect your shop, add your knowledge, link your Sheet if the recipe uses one, then switch it on.
Using a different system? If it has a public API, it connects to AeroChat the same way: describe what you want, paste in its key, and it runs.
Can’t find your tool? Message us in the chat on this page and we’ll tell you how it connects.
What you still decide
- How many days late an order must be before it goes to your team.
- Whether AeroChat names the courier from your Sheet.
- What AeroChat says on sale days when packing takes longer.

Questions
Does AeroChat read orders from TikTok Shop?
AeroChat works from the order number the buyer gives in TikTok Shop buyer chat and from your own Dispatch Sheet. The tracking itself stays on the order page in the TikTok app. For a ready message when the parcel ships, see the TikTok Shop shipping update template.
What if I don’t keep a Dispatch Sheet?
AeroChat answers from your packing times, and still points the buyer to the tracking on their order page. It hands late orders to your team.
What about orders from my own store?
For your own Shopify or WooCommerce store, AeroChat reads the order and the courier tracking directly. See order status in chat.
