What happened?
TikTok Shop announced that from June 9, 2026, it will upgrade its current three-tier settlement system to a four-tier framework. The new system includes one-day expedited settlement for highly rated stores, three-day accelerated settlement for new stores after the adjustment period, standard eight-day settlement, and extended 15-day settlement based on risk assessment. Settlement periods will be adjusted dynamically according to a store’s real-time performance.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
Focus on Store Rating and compliance performance to pursue shorter settlement periods. Reassess cash-flow cycles under the new tiers to avoid operational funding disruptions caused by settlement changes.
