What happened?
TikTok Shop recently announced that it will update its logistics policy in the US on June 9, focusing on adjustments to the payment settlement cycle to meet the platform's business development needs. At the same time, to enhance platform security, an account re-verification mechanism has been introduced for high-risk stores. If the system detects risk signals such as a spike in negative reviews or policy violations, sellers will be required to submit identity or qualification documents for re-verification. This measure aims to protect user rights and ensure a good business environment.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
Sellers need to closely monitor their store health score and ensure that qualification information is genuine and valid to prevent disruptions in fund settlements due to triggering the re-verification process. Maintaining good communication with customers is essential to reduce the risk of negative reviews.
