critical FEED_FILE_IN_UNSUPPORTED_FORMA

Feed file in unsupported format

What this means

TikTok catalogs accept only CSV, TSV, XML, or GZIP feed files. Anything else (XLSX, JSON, ODS) is rejected at upload.

Why this happens

Specific issue affecting how TikTok Shop / TikTok Catalog Manager processes your product data — see the linked official article for the exact mechanism and fix.

How to fix it

  1. Open the linked TikTok Shop / TikTok Catalog Manager help article for the specific resolution steps.
  2. Identify which products are affected via Seller Center / Ads Manager → Catalog → Diagnostics.
  3. Make the necessary corrections in your product data feed.
  4. Re-upload the corrected feed and verify the issue clears in the next processing cycle (typically 4–24 hours).
