Campaign dates and where to register

The campaign runs November 11 to November 30, 2026, Pacific time. Register in Seller Center under Marketing, then Campaigns. The Campaign Details page shows your shop's eligibility, the Shop Criteria page shows your current SPS, and the Register Products page shows each item's status: under review, approved, rejected or scheduled. Get Live's summary of TikTok's guide says most applications take 5 to 14 business days to review and new listings should be created at least two weeks before the campaign starts.

Who is eligible

TikTok's guide sets clear shop-level requirements. Benefits may be revoked if SPS drops below 3.0 during the campaign, and TikTok says it checks performance daily.

  • Shop Performance Score of 3.5 or higher
  • Or, with no SPS yet, fewer than 3 serious violations in 30 days
  • Late dispatch rate of 20% or lower over 30 days
  • Account Health Rating ideally above 150
  • Products in stock with accurate, compliant listings

BFCM eligibility check

  • SPS 3.5 or higher
  • Late dispatch rate 20% or less
  • AHR above 150
  • Listings live 2 weeks early
  • Variations final before registering

Discount rules to understand before you set prices

Get Live's summary of TikTok's promotion pages notes that Mix and Match allows up to 100 products and two tiers, and that for the same product, audience and period only the highest priority promotion applies: Mix and Match, then Buy More Save More, then Buy X Get Y, then Gift with Purchase. The BFCM guide also says many self-promotion tools do not stack on campaign pricing, which conflicts with a promotion page that says some do. Check the effective price in Seller Center before the campaign starts. Variations cannot be added or removed after registration, and shops in Holiday Mode cannot join.

Shipping time extensions for peak weeks

TikTok extends shipping service levels for local, standard and auction orders: one extra business day from November 11 to 24, two from November 25 to December 1, and one from December 2 to 5. International orders get the same windows in calendar days. Pre-order and back-order items are excluded. After-sales review deadlines do not change.

The holiday return window

Items sold from November 11, 2026 through December 31, 2026 can be returned until February 10, 2027. The window applies automatically and overrides seller-set return windows. Electronics and jewelry may follow standard rules, and auction orders are excluded. Plan cash flow for late returns in January.

What TikTok says about last year

According to Get Live's summary of TikTok's Newsroom post, TikTok said TikTok Shop sales passed $500 million over the 2025 four-day Black Friday weekend, and livestream sellers saw 84% year-over-year sales growth across more than 760,000 sessions. These are TikTok's own figures. They point to LIVE as the format to plan around, especially for gifts and collectibles.

What PPC Spider recommends this week

Fix SPS and dispatch speed first, because they decide eligibility. Then register hero products and line up creators for LIVE sessions. Our TikTok Shop management and TikTok Shop affiliate marketing services cover both, and our TikTok ads agency team runs paid support. Follow the TikTok Shop news channel for changes.
