Why has my registered product "Expired"?

Here are some possible reasons:
  1. The product was removed from the campaign before undergoing review and approval;
  2. The product violated TikTok Shop's policies, resulting in its removal either before or during the campaign period;
  3. The product did not meet the campaign eligibility requirements (see FAQs 1 and 2 above); or
  4. The campaign has ended.

Why were my registered products removed from the campaign?

To maintain a high-quality shopping experience and ensure optimal campaign performance, TikTok Shop may remove products (PIDs) from campaigns at its discretion. Common reasons for product removal include:
  • Policy Violations: If a product violates TikTok Shop’s policies or guidelines.
  • Customer Experience Issues: Products that could negatively impact customer experience, such as inaccurate descriptions, unauthentic, unoriginal or poor-quality items.

Campaign Sale Prices

What is a Campaign Sale Price?

Sellers can set the Campaign Sale Price for each of their product variations. These are the discounted prices shown to customers during the campaign period. For example, if your product's retail price (the regular, non-promotional price of the product) is $20.00 and you enter $18.00 into "Campaign Sale Price" during registration, the product will show the customer $18.00, with $20.00 shown as a strike-through. Any coupons would be applied to the Campaign Sale Price.

Why do some products show strike-throughs and some don't?

Strike-through pricing only shows if you have entered a Campaign Sale Price that is lower than your retail price. In the image below, the item on the left does not have a strike-through price because the set Campaign Sale Price is the same as the retail price.For the item on the right, since the set campaign sale price ($13.60) is lower than the retail price ($16.00), a strike-through is shown. The coupon will be applied to the Campaign Sale Price ($13.60).image (9).png

Is there a minimum price discount?

The Campaign Sale Price for some campaigns has to be lower than the retail price. Please refer to the specific campaign details during registration in Seller Center.

When will the Campaign Sale Price go live?

The Campaign Sale Price goes live once the campaign starts and continues throughout the duration of the campaign. During the campaign, sellers are allowed to submit a price change. However, it may take up to 5 business days to complete the review.

Coupons and Promotions

How will customers apply the Campaign coupon?

The coupon can be found on the event landing page, as well as on the product detail pages. The customer will need to tap "Claim" in order to apply the discount. The discount will be shown at Checkout.image (10).png

Why is my seller promotion not active?

The campaign sale price and your self-promotion tools, including discounts and flash deals, cannot be utilized at the same time. If the product is in an active campaign, the flash deal and discount set for that same time will not be active. For example, if the registered price of a product during the spring campaign is $67 and you enter a flash sale price of $57 while the campaign is active, the product will still show a price of $67.
