What is the validation of tracking ID feature?

TikTok Shop's feature to validate tracking IDs has the ability to detect two types of issues related to third-party logistics fulfilment:
  1. Verification of delivery address
  2. Verification of dispatch time of order
If a mismatch is detected in these two attributes, the tracking ID will be tagged in Seller Center — two new tags have been added to Manage Orders in Seller Center (for seller shipping ship method) to flag these discrepancies:
  • Tracking address issue: This tag will appear when the buyer's address zip code and the zip code associated with the tracking address issue do not match
  • Timestamp issue: This tag will appear when the operation time of tracking nodes is more than 24 hrs. earlier than the time the order was placed.
Learn more about how these tags appear in Seller Center across PC and app interfaces below.
