Can you cancel your TikTok subscription? Check eligibility and conditions
- TikTok Shop Orders – Orders can only be cancelled before the seller ships them, usually within 1 hour of purchase. Once shipped, cancellation isn’t possible — you’ll need to wait for delivery and request a return/refund. Custom, perishable, or digital items may not be eligible.
- TikTok LIVE Subscriptions – These are month-to-month and can be cancelled anytime. Cancellation stops auto-renewal, and you keep benefits until the end of the paid cycle. No penalties apply.
- TikTok Accounts – You can delete your TikTok account anytime. A 30-day deactivation period applies - log back in within this time to reactivate. After 30 days, the account is permanently deleted.
