What this covers

Creator monetization on TikTok Shop depends on maintaining compliance with community guidelines in both regular video content and LIVE sessions — a community guideline violation can suspend your monetization access independently of your seller account. LIVE selling requires separate eligibility approval beyond a standard account, and conduct violations during LIVE (prohibited demonstrations, unapproved products, purchase-required giveaways) can end your LIVE access without affecting your ability to post regular videos. Paid promotions in any format require affiliate disclosure regardless of whether TikTok's built-in disclosure tool is enabled.
