TikTok Shop Updates Seller Settlement Policy with Four-Tier Framework
TikTok Shop will implement a new settlement policy starting June 9, subdividing the settlement cycle into four tiers.

What happened?
TikTok Shop announces that starting June 9, 2026, it will update its settlement structure. The new framework includes: Mall stores with scores above 4.5 can enjoy one-day expedited settlements; stores in the new store adjustment period can get three-day expedited settlements; stores not yet through the adjustment period will have an eight-day standard settlement; high-risk stores will maintain a 15-day extended settlement. The settlement cycles will be dynamically adjusted based on store performance.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
Sellers need to closely monitor their store ratings and compliance performance to secure shorter settlement cycles, thereby improving cash flow.
