- 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 Cancellation FAQs
Can you cancel a TikTok Shop order after you’ve paid?
Yes, you can cancel a TikTok Shop order only before the seller ships it, usually within one hour of purchase. Once the order is marked as shipped, cancellation is no longer available inside TikTok. If that happens, you must wait for delivery and then request a return or refund instead. Acting quickly is essential, especially for fast-moving sellers. Custom, digital, or perishable items may not qualify for cancellation or return at all.
How do you cancel a TikTok LIVE subscription without being charged again?
You can cancel a TikTok LIVE subscription anytime through your App Store or Google Play account to stop auto-renewal. Cancelling does not remove your benefits immediately, as you keep access until the end of the current billing cycle. To avoid the next charge, cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date. There are no penalties or cancellation fees, but TikTok does not offer partial refunds mid-cycle.
What happens when you delete your TikTok account?
Deleting your TikTok account starts a 30-day deactivation period before permanent removal. During this time, your account is hidden but can be fully restored if you log back in. After 30 days, the deletion is permanent and cannot be reversed. Any unused TikTok coins, balances, or credits are forfeited once the account is permanently deleted. There are no fees for deleting your account.
How long do TikTok cancellations and refunds usually take?
TikTok Shop cancellations must happen before shipping, often within one hour, while subscription cancellations take effect at the next billing cycle. Refunds are typically processed within three to five business days, but some payments can take up to ten days to appear. Account deletion takes a full 30 days before becoming permanent. Timing matters, as missing these windows can limit your options.
