2.2 How to select the correct category for your product

Sellers should consider their product's features and functions when choosing a correct product category. A correct category choice is one that matches the product's function and description. For example, a dress can be categorized under the "womenswear" category.
Sellers have two ways to select the relevant product category:
  1. By selecting from the list of available categories; or
  2. By utilizing TikTok Smart Category Recommendation feature

      2.2.1 How to select the correct category for your product

      "Invite-only" products refer to specific product categories that sellers can only sell if they have been onboarded through an "invite-only" process. This involves submitting the necessary documentation through the Seller Center from My Account > Account Settings > Qualification Center. This increases the likelihood that products sold in these categories are of high quality and compliant with the relevant laws and regulations. Sellers who have not been onboarded via this process are prohibited from listing, sharing, or promoting products within these categories.

      2.2.2 How do I Apply to Sell "Invite-only" products?

      Sellers are allowed to sell within the following categories only if they have been onboarded by submitting the required documentation through the Seller Center from My Account > Account Settings > Qualification Center. Please refer to this article for details on the application process.

      2.2.3 What Happens if I List "Invite-only" Products without Approval?

      TikTok Shop may audit product listings at any time and take enforcement actions against sellers who violate our guidelines. Some of the enforcement actions we may take are:
      Rejecting product listings.
      Delisting products from the seller's shop.
      Assigning violation points to a seller's shop. Accumulating a certain number of violation points may result in the revocation of a seller's TikTok Shop privileges.
      TikTok Shop may also take further enforcement actions against a seller based on the severity or frequency of their violations. For more information, please visit our TikTok Shop Seller Performance Evaluation Policy.
      Note: If a seller believes an enforcement action has been taken against them in error, they can file an appeal on the Seller Center Shop Health page.
