🛑 What is Holiday Mode?

Holiday Mode is a temporary setting you can activate for specific warehouses when you’re unable to fulfill orders — such as during public holidays, planned maintenance, or inventory freezes.

When enabled, TikTok Shop will automatically set all product inventory tied to that warehouse to zero, which prevents customers from placing new orders during that period.

📍 Where to Find Holiday Mode in Seller Center

Turning it on is easy. Here's how to access the tool:

1. Go to: My Account

2. Click on Seller Profile

3. Navigate to Holiday Mode

Or access it directly [insert link if hosted].

✅ How to Set It Up

Once you’re inside the Holiday Mode settings:

1. Switch it ON for the specific warehouse

2. Select the start and end dates for your pause period

3. Save and confirm — your warehouse is now temporarily offline

TikTok will reflect this change instantly by updating the warehouse-linked product stock to zero. Once the holiday window ends, inventory levels and product availability will resume as normal.

🔍 Why Use Holiday Mode?

Here’s why Holiday Mode is essential for any seller:

• Avoids cancellations: No risk of orders you can’t fulfill

• Protects your account health: Prevents late shipments and penalties

• Maintains customer trust: Your products won’t appear as "available" when you're not able to deliver

• Operational control: Lets you pause specific warehouses without shutting down your entire shop
