This is not an optional update, it is a mandatory, one-time verification process required to ensure secure transactions and uninterrupted withdrawals.

What Is Seller Verification?

Seller Verification is a one-time identity and business validation process required by banking partners and payment gateways that handle payouts for sellers on TikTok Shop.

It is designed to:

• Comply with financial and regulatory requirements set by banks and payment providers

• Ensure you can continue receiving payouts without disruption

• Protect accounts from fraud, impersonation, or misuse

• Maintain a safer and more trusted marketplace for both buyers and sellers

This requirement applies to all sellers who receive payments, regardless of business size.

Key Deadline You Must Know

Deadline: 28 February 2026

If verification is not completed by this date, system restrictions will begin affecting your account functions.

What Happens If You Don’t Complete Verification?

If the request is ignored, enforcement will happen in stages:

🟡 After 90 Days — Payout Block

• Your withdrawal function will be frozen

• Funds cannot be transferred until verification is completed

🔴 After 180 Days — Order Restriction

• You will no longer be able to receive new orders

• Account access remains restricted until documents are approved

Once verification is successfully completed, all affected features will be restored.

Who Can Submit the Verification?

Only the Owner Account (Admin Access) is authorised to submit the verification.

Sub-accounts cannot upload or submit documents, so make sure the process is completed using the main account credentials.

Where to Submit Your Seller Verification

All verification submissions must be done directly through the TikTok Shop Seller Centre. Submissions outside this system will not be accepted.

Follow this path:
My Account → Account Settings → Qualification Center

Inside the Qualification Center, look for the “Verify Qualifications” banner. Clicking it will start the document submission process.

Documents Required (Prepare Before Uploading)

The documents you need depend on your seller type. Ensure all files are:

• Clear and legible

• Current and valid

• Matching your registered seller account information

• Uploaded in PDF or JPG format

For Individual / Sole Proprietor Sellers

• Government-issued ID (MyKad / MyPR)

• Business registration document (if applicable)

• SSM Registration Certificate & Business Profile issued by Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia

For Corporate Sellers

• Director / Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) ID or Authorised Person’s ID

How to Complete Verification Smoothly

To avoid rejection or delays:

✔ Make sure names match exactly across your ID, SSM record, and seller account
✔ Upload full, uncropped documents
✔ Avoid blurry scans or screenshots
✔ Submit early to allow processing time before the 28 February 2026 deadline

Completing verification correctly ensures uninterrupted payouts and protects your store from operational risks.
