TikTok Shop shipping is changing

If you sell on TikTok Shop, you may have recently received an email outlining major changes to how orders must be fulfilled in the US.

These changes are real, they’re coming soon, and they affect every TikTok seller, whether you ship in-house, use a 3PL, or rely on fulfillment software.

The good news: if you’re set up correctly, this transition can be seamless.

TL;DR: TikTok now requires sellers to use TikTok shipping rates

TikTok now requires sellers to ship using TikTok’s own rates, which means your fulfillment software must have the updated TikTok integration.

Only a few platforms do. Redo is one of them.

What’s happening with TikTok Shop shipping?

TikTok is moving toward a fully controlled logistics ecosystem.

Starting February 25 through March 31, 2026 (PST), TikTok will phase out Seller Shipping for US local sellers and require all orders to be fulfilled through TikTok Shop Logistics Services.

For sellers onboarding on or after February 9, 2026, this requirement applies immediately. Seller Shipping is no longer an option.

In short:

• TikTok will now control how shipping labels are generated
• TikTok will control how shipping rates are applied
• TikTok will control how tracking is confirmed

What changes for merchants?

These updates fundamentally change how TikTok orders are fulfilled, even if you still ship from your own warehouse.

1. You can no longer use your own carrier accounts for TikTok orders

Under the new model:

• You cannot use your own USPS, UPS, FedEx, or other carrier accounts
• Shipping labels must be generated using TikTok’s provided rates (primarily USPS)

This is a major shift for sellers who previously relied on negotiated carrier rates for TikTok orders.

2. Shipping must flow through TikTok-approved systems

TikTok is restricting order fulfillment to:

• TikTok Seller Center
• A short list of approved, fully integrated fulfillment platforms

If your fulfillment software is not integrated or approved, you risk:

• Inability to generate shipping labels
• Delayed shipments
• Non-compliance with TikTok fulfillment SLAs
• Potential account or listing issues

Don’t worry. Redo solves this for you.

Redo is integrated with TikTok’s updated APIs and will keep you compliant without forcing you to manage TikTok orders separately.

TikTok has stated they are expanding the list of approved platforms, but this will take time.

3. Operational complexity increases without the right tooling

Without an integrated system, sellers may be forced to:

• Manage TikTok orders separately from other sales channels
• Switch between multiple dashboards and tools
• Manually reconcile tracking and fulfillment status
• Handle failed shipments or missing confirmations

That’s time-consuming, error-prone, and difficult to scale.

What should TikTok sellers do now?

The most important step is simple:

Use a fulfillment platform that is fully integrated with TikTok Shop logistics, like Redo.

What a compliant fulfillment platform should support

A TikTok-compliant fulfillment platform should:

• Connect directly to TikTok’s updated APIs
• Generate TikTok-approved shipping labels
• Use TikTok’s required carrier rates
• Automatically sync tracking and fulfillment status
• Let you manage TikTok alongside Shopify, Amazon, and other channels, not in a silo

How Redo fits in

Redo has updated its TikTok integration to support these new requirements.

With Redo:

• TikTok orders flow directly into your fulfillment workflow alongside other channels
• Shipping labels are generated using TikTok-approved logistics
• Tracking and confirmation are automatically synced back to TikTok
• Your team doesn’t need to change how they operate day to day

Our goal is simple:

TikTok shipping should feel like just another order, not a separate system.

Final thoughts: TikTok fulfillment is at an inflection point

TikTok Shop is maturing quickly, and tighter control over logistics is part of that evolution.

For sellers, this isn’t just a policy update. It’s an operational fork in the road:

• Manual workflows and disconnected tools will struggle
• Integrated fulfillment platforms will win on speed, compliance, and scale

If you’re already using Redo, no action is required.

If you’re not, now is the right time to ensure your TikTok fulfillment setup is future-proof.
