Summary
Official Shop Creators must now be part of the same legal entity as the bound seller. This is a new eligibility requirement for organization accounts only.
Why it matters
Creators using organization accounts can no longer bind to TikTok Shops operated by different legal entities. This breaks existing creator-seller partnerships and blocks new cross-entity collaborations, requiring immediate restructuring of shop bindings.
Recommended action
Audit all active Official Shop Creator binds with organization accounts. Verify seller and creator operate under the same legal entity; terminate or restructure bindings that don't comply within 30 days to avoid eligibility loss.
