Key Points:

• Your Account Health Rating (AHR) measures the health of your shop. You can earn points by successfully fulfilling orders and passing policy quizzes, but you may also lose points for not complying with our policies or meeting our performance standards.
• If your AHR drops to 150, 100, 50 or 0 points, milestone enforcement actions will be taken against your account. Ensure your AHR does not drop below 150 to avoid this! But if it does, pass the milestone quiz to reduce the impact of these actions.

Overview

The AHR is a color-coded numerical score (from 0 to 1,000) that provides a snapshot of the overall health of your seller account. It reflects the points you have earned and lost based on your shop's activities over the last 180 days. Points will be added for successfully fulfilling orders or passing policy quizzes, and they may be deducted when you breach a policy or do not meet our performance standards. All sellers start off with 200 points.

• If the AHR is in the green zone, it means the shop has at least 200 points and is in a healthy state!
• If the AHR is in the orange zone, it means the shop has 51 to 199 points. It is at risk of receiving or has received milestone enforcement actions.
• If the AHR is red, it means the shop has 50 or fewer points and is at risk of deactivation. If the AHR hits 0, the seller's account will be deactivated.

Earning Points

You can earn

• 4 points for every 200 finished orders in the last 180 days. Sample orders, and orders that were returned, refunded, cancelled, or defective in any way are not included.
  • Take note though, you can only earn a maximum of 20 points a week through this method!
• For taking and passing every policy quiz tagged to a violation. The number of points you earn depends on the quiz. Read our All about TikTok Shop's Policy/Milestone Quiz article for more information.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What does it mean that points will reset every 180 days?

• The points you earn or lose will reset every 180 days. For example:
  • Your AHR is currently 200. You earned 2 points for passing a quiz on December 1, 2024, bringing your total to 202 points. These 2 points will only remain on your AHR for 180 days. On May 30, 2025, your AHR will return to 200 points, assuming you did not lose or gain any other points during this period.
  • The same principle applies to points you lose. For example, your AHR is currently 200. You lose 2 points for a violation on December 30, 2024, bringing your total to 198. These 2 points will be returned to your AHR after 180 days. So, on June 28, 2025, your AHR will return to 200 points, assuming you did not lose or gain any other points during this period.
• However, this rule does not apply to points that are returned to you after a successful appeal or correction.

What is the difference between the AHR and the Shop Performance Score?

• The Shop Performance Score is a dynamic score that tracks how well your shop has performed over the last 90 days in terms of product satisfaction, order fulfillment, and customer service. It ranges from 0 to 5. The higher your SPS, the more rewards and benefits you unlock for your shop! Given our rewards-based approach to the SPS, we do not take enforcement actions against your shop if it has a low SPS.
• The AHR is a scale that tracks the level of your shop's compliance with our policies over the last 180 days. It ranges from 0 to 1000. A higher AHR generally indicates that you are abiding by our policies. Given our compliance-focused approach to the AHR, we will take milestone enforcement actions against your shop if it has a low AHR.
