What happened?
TikTok Shop updated the guidelines for seller entity changes on August 6. If sellers transition from sole proprietors to companies or make other legal entity changes, they must complete a formal process. Sales will pause during this period, and some historical permissions may become invalid and need to be reacquired.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
Sellers should allocate time for business interruptions when making company structure adjustments to avoid damaging shop ranking or causing sales disruptions due to business entity changes.
