What happened?
TikTok Shop announced that it will upgrade its existing three-tier payment settlement system to a four-tier system effective June 9, 2026. The new system includes one-day settlement for Mall shops and sellers with ratings above 4.5; three-day settlement for sellers that have passed the new-shop review period; eight-day settlement for sellers that have not passed the review period; and 15-day settlement for high-risk shops or shops with violation records. Settlement cycles will be evaluated dynamically based on shop performance.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
Monitor shop ratings and compliance closely to qualify for a shorter cash-recovery cycle. New sellers should follow platform rules strictly during the review period to avoid violations that could extend fund holds.
