How to find the buyers in TikTok comments

TikTok marks some comments as likely to buy in its own data. Paste a TikTok video link below and tick "Buying intent" to see only those comments, or export them all and filter the buying_intent column. For the reasons behind them, the AI report lists buying signals with the comments that show each one.

Email me new comments

We check this post on a schedule and email you the comments posted since the last check. They also wait on your account page as a file, for 30 days.

With words set, you're emailed only when a new comment mentions one of them; every new comment still goes in the file.

Step by step

  1. Paste the video link

    Your own video, a competitor's, or any public video selling something like what you sell.

  2. Tick Buying intent

    Only comments TikTok marked stay on screen, with a Buying intent badge. Sort by Most liked to see the ones others agree with.

  3. Export or analyze

    Export all comments to get a buying_intent column (yes or no) for each one, or run an AI report (1,000 points, $10) for the buying signals, questions and complaints, each with its comments.

What a real report found

Our sample report on a TikTok video about Stanley cups at TJ Maxx (176 comments, read in 16 seconds) listed these buying signals: "Want to buy the pink one" (5 comments), "Planning a TJ Maxx/Marshalls run to get them" (4), "Already bought or found them" (5) and "Want the burgundy/red one" (3). The top question was "How much do they cost?" (11 comments). For a seller, that is a restock list and a pinned-reply script.

Questions

Is the buying-intent mark on other platforms?

No, only TikTok puts it in its data. On Instagram, YouTube, X and Reddit, the AI report's buying signals section does the same job from the words of the comments.

Can I message the buyers?

This doesn't send messages. Each comment links to the commenter's profile, so you can reply or follow up in TikTok.
