Enrollment Criteria

If you're an Affiliate creator, you will begin a 30-day Creator Pilot Program* as a new TikTok Shop creator if you have fewer than 2,000 followers.

Shoppable video content number limits

  • Posting limit of a maximum of 10 product promotion videos refreshed on a daily basis
Changes to these scheduled videos with the "pending" status count towards the quota, including:
  • Changing privacy settings for the video from public to private
  • Deleting the video due to personal reasons or TikTok Shop policy
  • Edits made to the shoppable link in the video

Shoppable video content frequency limits

Situations where frequency is deducted:
  • Any posted shoppable videos, including those viewable only to you, will count towards your limit
  • Scheduled shoppable videos will count towards your limit the moment they're scheduled, not at the time they're scheduled to post
  • If you delete a posted shoppable video, it will still be counted towards your limit that day
  • If a shoppable video is removed due to a violation, it will still count towards your limit
  • If you add a product link to a previously posted video, it becomes a shoppable video and counts towards your limit
Situations where frequency is not deducted:
  • Shoppable content that was not successfully published (including those saved, in draft status, or that failed to publish) will not have the posting frequency deducted
  • Regular short videos with no product link added
