Listing Restrictions

What are "Invite-only" Products?

We care about the safety of our customers. To promote a secure and positive shopping environment, we restrict the sale of certain products on our platform.
"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.

Examples of "Invite-only" Products

Sellers who wish to sell "invite-only" products must obtain prior approval from our platform.

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

    We 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 privileges.
    We 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 by Tokopedia 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.
