TikTok Shop UK Introduces Inactive and Dormant Store Policy
TikTok Shop UK will implement a new inactive and dormant store policy on June 11. Stores with no operational activity for an extended period will be flagged and may face feature restrictions, so sellers should log in regularly or maintain their products to keep accounts active.

What happened?
TikTok Shop UK announced that it will continuously monitor store activity from June 11, 2026. Stores with no “qualifying activity” for an extended period—including logging in to Seller Center or uploading or editing products—will be classified as inactive or dormant. This may restrict account functions and require identity verification again.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
Sellers operating multiple accounts should establish a regular maintenance routine to keep stores active and avoid account suspension or restricted permissions caused by a dormant classification.
