Q1. Will existing category codes remain the same after the move to 7 categories (L7 category), or will new codes be introduced?
No, TikTok will introduce new L7 category IDs and codes. Once the migration is complete, the existing 3-level (L3) category codes will no longer be valid.
Q2. Will the attribute sets change with the new L7 categories? If yes, will TikTok auto-fill them or will sellers need to update manually? Will products remain visible during this time?
No, attributes will remain the same and no change is required, as briefed by TikTok.
Q3. What happens if sellers don’t update products to the new L7 categories? Will this affect stock or price updates?
TikTok will automatically update the categories for all active products to the new structure after 17th November 2025. Sellers using Anchanto OMS to list and update products on TikTok Shop have been granted an extension and will be exempt from this update until 31st December 2025.
Q4. If I connect a new store after 17th November 2025, will the migration timeline be automatically extended for that store?
No. Any TikTok Shop store connected to Anchanto OMS after 17th November 2025 will not receive an automatic extension of the migration timeline. A separate request must be submitted to TikTok Support. Anchanto team will be able to help facilitate this request and help to secure the required permission.
