Start with the free danger check if a violation already landed. These pages are the rulebook underneath it — each one dated and sourced to TikTok's own policy pages.
What the TikTok Shop Account Health Rating is, how the 0-1,000 score works, the 150/100/50 milestones, and how points are earned and lost — in plain words.
The old 48-point violation system ended for US sellers in July 2026. Here is what the Account Health Rating changed, and why old advice now hurts.
The only published ways a TikTok Shop AHR goes back up: quizzes, finished orders, corrections, successful appeals — and the 180-day reset. With the real maths.
Three structural changes hit US TikTok Shop sellers in 2026: the AHR replaced violation points, Seller Shipping ended, and listing declarations became mandatory.
A denied first appeal is not the end: the second (final) appeal window, the 15-day clock, what 'new evidence' means, and the quiz/correction routes that remain.
'Violation for no reason' is the most common beginner complaint — and almost never literally true. How to read a violation record, find the real reason, and pick the right route.
Violations cannot be deleted — but their cost can be undone: correct inside the window, appeal on published grounds, pass the quiz, and let the 180-day reset work.
Two appeals per violation. First within 30 days. Second within 15 days of a rejection. And the 12–72 hour windows most beginners never see. The full map.
New-shop probation tiers (50/100/200 orders a day), what an order-limit cut really means, why probation does not pause your AHR, and the graduation targets.
TikTok Shop's four fulfillment metrics with their official targets and enforcement lines — and the per-order maths that show how close you really are.
Orders not scanned by the carrier inside the dispatch window, deliveries running past the deliver-by date.
Listing a product on TikTok's Prohibited Products list — illegal, unsafe, counterfeit, recalled, or regulated items.
A recall, a safety issue, or missing safety documentation (test reports, certificates) for a product you sell.
Wrong category, incomplete product information, descriptions under 30 words, missing Prop 65 / choking-hazard declarations, claims printed on packaging, off-platform links or QR codes in a listing.
Trademark or copyright infringement, listing counterfeit products, or selling a brand without brand authorization.
Fraudulent orders, suspicious transactions, or activity TikTok reads as manipulating the platform's integrity systems.
Onboarding and verification mismatches, account finance issues, or account dormancy.
Review manipulation — incentivized, arranged, or otherwise engineered reviews — and review records TikTok counts against the shop.
Check a product's status — open, qualification-first, or never — before TikTok checks it for you.
The free closure page: records first, withholding clocks, and where held money is actually handled.
The checker above is free and always will be. The kit is the depth: the letters, the plan, and the sheets, in one place, stamped with the rules as checked October 22, 2026.
