Overview

The Shop Performance Score (SPS) Appeal feature allows sellers to directly submit appeals for SPS-related metrics in Seller Center. If you believe a metric was impacted by an issue outside of your control—or you have evidence to prove the responsibility is not yours—you can now start an appeal directly in Seller Center without help from the support team.
The appeal process follows a full review loop:
Seller submits appeal > TikTok moderation reviews (~3 business days) > Metric is corrected (if approved, ~1 business day) > SPS score updates automatically.

Why Does the SPS Appeal Feature Matter?

SPS plays an important role in shop visibility, buyer trust, and driving overall business success. That's why maintaining a strong SPS score is such a big deal. However, we know that sometimes SPS drops are caused by issues unrelated to the seller—such as buyer mistakes, logistics problems, or system errors.
The new SPS Appeal feature allows sellers to take action directly to address SPS metrics that they believe are incorrect.

Where can I check if the SPS Appeal feature is available for me?

If the SPS Appeal feature is available for you, you will find it by logging in to Seller Center > Account Health > Shop Performance. Take note that this feature is being rolled out in phases, and will be available to all sellers by end of March 2026.
