Introduction

Many creators are eager to know how to avoid violations on TikTok Shop. It’s important for anyone utilizing this platform to understand the guidelines to prevent flags against their accounts. In a previous video, it was highlighted that TikTok Shop may flag violations if the creator's hands or face are not visible in their videos. However, just having your hands and face in the shot does not guarantee you won’t receive violations.

Let’s dive into some of the common violations that TikTok Shop users should be aware of:

Common TikTok Shop Violations

  1. Product Comparisons: Making comparisons between your product and another brand's or product can lead to a violation. It's crucial to avoid directly comparing your offering to competing items.

  2. Use of Copyrighted or Trademarked Terms: Be careful not to mention copyrighted or trademarked names when promoting your product. For instance, if you're selling an item resembling Kim Kardashian's clothing line, explicitly mentioning her brand could result in a violation.

  3. Insufficient Focus on Products: If the product is only shown briefly without adequate emphasis on it, you could be flagged. TikTok expects that when featuring a product, it should be prominent and the primary focus of the video.

  4. Multiple Products Without Enough Attention: If your video features several products tagged but does not spend enough time showcasing or discussing them, this could also warrant a violation. Adequate attention must be given to each product for the content to be compliant.

By adhering to these guidelines, TikTok Shop creators can enhance their content’s compliance and keep their accounts in good standing.
