Summary
Creators must now pass TikTok Shop's compliance and security evaluation, have more than 1,000 followers, be onboarded for over 30 days, and can self-apply for affiliate permissions after reaching 5,000 followers to graduate from the Early Stage Control Pilot Program.
Why it matters
This change sets clearer eligibility and compliance requirements for creators to access affiliate permissions and participate fully in TikTok Shop, impacting their ability to monetize and engage in commerce activities.
Recommended action
Creators should ensure they meet follower thresholds, complete onboarding duration, and pass compliance/security checks before applying for affiliate permissions or advancing in the program.
