Separate individual and business registration
TikTok publishes different onboarding requirements. US individual sellers must meet age, residence and identity requirements. Corporate registration requires business, tax and representative information. Use the current official guide for your entity type.
Build a consistent document pack
Check that names and addresses match the application, business records and supporting identification. Store sensitive documents securely; never share identity files in creator briefs or public spreadsheets.
Review the product category
Restricted categories can require additional qualifications. TikTok currently describes dietary supplements as invite-only; labels, listings and promotions remain the seller’s responsibility. An application or agency relationship does not guarantee approval.
Your next action
Prepare a private document checklist and record the exact category policy you reviewed.
