Summary
Settlement tier definitions restructured into bullet-point format for clarity. No new tiers, criteria, or enforcement actions introduced. Existing tier structure (Introductory, Standard, Accelerated, Express, Deferred) restated unchanged.
Why it matters
Seller payout timing remains governed by existing performance metrics and account status. Presentation clarity aids onboarding and self-service navigation, but no new compliance obligations or behavioral changes required.
Recommended action
No immediate action required. Review updated settlement tier definitions in Seller Center to confirm your current tier assignment and eligibility criteria remain unchanged.
Introductory Settlement Period:
An introductory settlement period is for newly onboarded sellers or sellers on probation.
Standard Settlement Period:
This is the default tier that automatically applies to all sellers out of probation.
Accelerated Settlement Period:
This tier offers a faster settlement period compared to the Standard, and eligibility is determined by shop performance.
Express Settlement Period:
The quickest settlement period available on Tik Tok Shop. Express Settlement is assigned based on your shop performance.
Deferred Settlement Period:
This tier occurs while Tik Tok Shop is completing platform and/or seller security checks.
