What happened?
TikTok Shop has updated its payment settlement policy, upgrading the existing three-tier system to a four-tier framework. The new rules take effect on June 9: Mall sellers with ratings of 4.5 or higher can receive one-day expedited settlement; sellers that pass the new-store evaluation period will receive three-day accelerated settlement by default; sellers that have not passed the evaluation period will use eight-day standard settlement; and stores with risks or violations will be placed on 15-day extended settlement, which may be extended to 30 days in extreme cases.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
Monitor your store rating and compliance performance closely to qualify for shorter settlement cycles and improve cash-flow management.
