Example, not a live result

I take these magnesium gummies every night, and they help prevent high blood pressure. Clinically proven, with no side effects.

After

Magnesium is part of my nightly wind-down routine, and these gummies make it easy.

After you post

Most problems surface after the content is live

By then the penalty has applied, and the notice rarely names the exact sentence.

Shop points last 180 days

Every point deducted from a shop's Account Health Rating stays for 180 days. At 150 points, the shop may be unable to create new listings or enroll in new mega campaigns for 7 days.

Repeat creator violations freeze commissions

A creator who commits the same violation 6 times in 90 days may lose e-commerce permissions and have commissions frozen, whatever their Creator Health Rating.

Weight rules changed in August 2026

Low-risk weight wording for adults is no longer controlled, high-risk promises still are, and some official pages still show the older, stricter wording.

Disclaimers and code words do not help

TikTok says adding a disclaimer does not make a medical or weight claim acceptable, and that euphemisms for a disease still create risk.

What we check

Checked against each platform's own policy

FTC and FDA rules apply everywhere. Each platform adds its own policy layer on top.

Short videos and LIVE

Content from your own accounts and from affiliate creators, checked before filming and again on the finished video.

  • Script and caption check against TikTok Shop, FTC and FDA rules
  • Video check of the speech transcript, on-screen text and frames, with a timestamp on each finding
  • LIVE script check before the stream starts

Shop listings

Product titles, descriptions and images on TikTok Shop US.

  • Title and description check for medical, weight-management and absolute claims
  • Image check for visual risk, image by image
  • One-click rewrite of flagged wording, checked again before you use it
How it works

Three steps before you publish

Each finding names its rule, so you can verify it and decide what to change.

  1. 1

    Paste or upload

    Add a script, caption, listing text, video or image, and pick the product category so the right rules apply.

  2. 2

    Read each finding

    Each finding names the TikTok Shop, FTC or FDA rule it is based on. Video findings carry a timestamp.

  3. 3

    Rewrite and check again

    Apply the suggested rewrite or edit the line yourself, then run the check again before you post.

Scope

What we do not check

A check covers the content you submit. These issues sit outside it.

Account and shop status

Health ratings, appeals and deactivation are decided by TikTok. We cannot restore accounts or permissions.

Product eligibility

Whether you may sell a product at all. Supplements are invite-only on TikTok Shop US, and products designed specifically for weight loss stay prohibited despite the 2026 wording change.

Off-script LIVE remarks

We check the written LIVE script. What the host says off-script, replies to chat and on-camera demos are not covered.

Text inside images

The image check covers visual risk. Reading claims written on images is planned for a later stage.

Frequently asked questions

If my content passes the check, will it avoid a violation?

No. A check catches risky wording before you publish, but TikTok makes the final decision. What we commit to is that every finding cites a rule you can verify.

How is this different from TikTok's Video Pre-Check?

Video Pre-Check reviews a finished shoppable video with a linked product inside Seller Center or Creator Center, with a limited number of checks per day, and its Auto-Post review covers health claims. ByeRisk also takes a written script before filming, names the rule behind each finding and suggests a rewrite. Using both is reasonable.

Can I check videos from affiliate creators?

Yes. Upload the video file. The speech is transcribed and checked with the same rules as text, on-screen text and frames are reviewed, and each finding is pinned to its timestamp so only that part needs to be re-recorded.

Do creator violations affect the shop?

TikTok's published rules link them in specific ways. If a shop is deactivated, its bound Official and Marketing accounts can lose e-commerce permissions. If one of those accounts receives an e-commerce ban, TikTok may review the seller, although the shop is not deactivated automatically. We found no official statement that an affiliate's violation lowers the shop's Account Health Rating.

Which rules do you check against?

TikTok Shop US policy pages on medical, weight-management and misleading claims; FTC guidance on claim substantiation and endorsements; and the FDA rules that separate cosmetic, supplement and drug claims. Each free tool page shows the rule pack version it runs.

Can you help with an appeal?

No. We can show which wording likely triggered a content violation, so you can fix it before you post again. Appeals, account issues and identity checks are outside our scope.
