Payment Settlement
The payment settlement period refers to the duration between the date your order is delivered and the date you get paid for that order.
All other settlement periods remain unchanged and are determined in accordance with this policy.
We may also apply Standard or Extended Settlement to your shop if we detect any other breaches of our policies.
Please read our TikTok Shop Seller Settlement Policy for more information.
What are the different payment settlement periods and when do they apply?
We have four types of settlement periods that can apply to your shop:- Express Settlement: 1 calendar days
- Applies to eligible TikTok Shop Mall shops that meet specific criteria.
- Accelerated Settlement: 3 calendar days
- Applies by default to shops that have passed the New Shop Adjustment Period.
- Standard Settlement: 8 calendar days
- Applies by default to shops that have not passed the New Shop Adjustment Period.
- Extended Settlement: 15 calendar days
- TikTok Shop may adjust your settlement period based on an evaluation of your shop's activity, overall account risk, or any detected policy violations. As a result, certain shops may have their settlement period extended to 15 calendar days.
Subsidy/Compensation Payout Delays
In order to better protect the platform from fraud, settlement periods for platform-funded shipping subsidies or compensation for non-seller-fault reasons may only occur around 3 calendar days after order completion. Actual settlement timing may vary in circumstances where further investigations are necessary and is subject to TikTok Shop's discretion (acting reasonably).All other settlement periods remain unchanged and are determined in accordance with this policy.
