Why can’t I use Sponsored Discovery or why has my campaign been paused?

Sponsored Discovery is only available to sellers with fewer than 12 non-compliance points (NCP). If your account reaches 12 or more NCP, you may not be able to use this feature, and your campaigns may be paused.
NCP (Non-compliance points) are part of Lazada’s point-based system used to measure seller compliance with platform policies. Points are issued when a seller is found to have violated Lazada policies.
