TikTok Shop has updated its settlement policy, upgrading the existing three-tier system to four tiers: 1-day ultra-fast settlement for high-quality stores, 3-day accelerated settlement after the adjustment period for new stores, 8-day standard settlement, and 15-day extended settlement. Settlement cycles will be adjusted dynamically based on store ratings, compliance performance, and risk assessments.

Settlement cycles directly affect cash flow. Monitor store ratings and compliance performance closely to pursue shorter payout cycles and reduce funding pressure.
