Overview
The Shop Performance Score (SPS) Appeal feature allows sellers to directly submit appeals for SPS-related metrics in Seller Center. You can start an appeal without help from the support team if: • You believe a metric was impacted by an issue outside of your control. • You have evidence to prove the responsibility is not yours. 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 a critical role by impacting: • Shop visibility. • Buyer trust. • Overall business success. 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 metics that they believe are incorrect.
