The Shop Probation Program
Welcome to TikTok Shop! We're glad you chose to sell with us. We understand how stressful it can be setting up a shop. Our New Shop Probation Program aims to help new sellers like you adjust to selling on an online marketplace. Once you've completed your onboarding, you'll be able to upload products and receive orders, subject to an Order Volume Limit (OVL). Completing specific tasks will increase your OVL. Read on for more details!HOT TIP! You can always check your shop's current order and product listing details on the Probation page.

Graduating From Probation
We do not want our sellers to stay in probation any longer than necessary. You can complete tasks to upgrade your shop from Beginner to Standard to Premium, and finally Pro status!
You can receive more orders every day and upload more products as you ascend the tiers:- At Beginner status, you can receive up to 50 orders every day and you can upload up to 100 products.
- At Standard status, you can receive up to 100 orders every day and you can upload up to 200 products.
- At Premium status, you can receive up to 200 orders every day and you can upload up to 1,000 products.
- Pro status means your shop has graduated and is no longer limited to the number of orders from the Probation Program—well done!
NOTE: Seller order volume limits may be impacted while TikTok Shop completes platform and seller security checks.Tracking Your Probation Status
Your current probation status can be found on the Seller Center Homepage itself. Click into it to find out what else you need to do to hit the next status.
