Summary
Clarified SPS disqualification threshold: shops fall from affiliate eligibility when SPS drops below 3.0 (previously stated as 3.5 minimum). Added explicit permanent disqualification risk for account violations.
Why it matters
Sellers with SPS 3.0–3.5 now face stricter enforcement. Policy clarifies that temporary account deactivations trigger permanent affiliate disqualification, not just temporary suspension. This increases operational risk.
Recommended action
Review Shop Performance Score metrics and account health. Ensure compliance with TikTok Shop policies to avoid deactivation. Monitor SPS daily to detect threshold breaches before disqualification.
The Shop Performance Score (SPS) falls below 3.
The seller's account is permanently or temporarily deactivated due to a violation of Tik Tok Shop policies. Note: In this situation, the seller may be permanently disqualified from Affiliate Marketing.
