07/09/2025

Hi Seller!

Keeping your shop safe on TikTok Shop by Tokopedia means following platform rules — and knowing what happens if they're broken. Every violation can lead to Violation Points, which may affect your ability to join campaigns, use seller benefits, or even stay active.

What Are Violation Points and Milestones?

Violation Points are penalties given to sellers who break the platform’s rules. These points reset every 90 calendar days, but if you reach certain levels (called Milestones), your account may face restrictions.

Milestone Level	What Happens
12 Points	Limited access to campaigns and seller benefits for 7 days
24 Points	Temporary removal from campaign & affiliate programs, limit on new listings
36 Points	Shop will be deactivated for 28 days, and lose platform benefits for 60 days
48 Points	Permanent shop suspension, potential legal action
