Summary
Creator Identity Verification now mandatory for all creators (except Official Shop). Affiliate creators failing identity check are denied e-commerce permissions. Prior revocations of e-commerce permissions bar future access.
Why it matters
Creators and affiliates must now complete identity verification to earn commissions. Failure results in denial of e-commerce access. Any prior revocation permanently disqualifies participation, creating significant onboarding friction and access barriers.
Recommended action
All active and prospective creators/affiliates should immediately verify identity status. Review account history for any prior e-commerce permission revocations. Marketing creators should complete verification before accessing Product Marketplace to avoid commission delays.
