In 2025, Temu launched an official integration with Shopify, allowing Shopify merchants to more easily list products on Temu and reach a global audience. While it doesn’t fully replace the Temu seller dashboard, the integration streamlines product publishing and inventory management, helping sellers save time when expanding into international markets.Here’s a practical guide on how to get started and make the most of this integration.
What the Temu‑Shopify Integration Does
The official Temu Shopify app allows you to:
- Sync your Shopify products to Temu: Select which products to publish, and the app will generate Temu listings automatically.
- Keep Shopify inventory in sync with Temu: Changes to stock in Shopify update Temu listings to reduce overselling.
- Check basic order info: While orders are still primarily managed in Temu, the app provides helpful visibility for tracking.
This integration simplifies cross-border selling but doesn’t fully replace Temu’s order or fulfillment workflows.
Installing the Temu Shopify App
Getting started is straightforward:
- Open your Shopify admin dashboard.
- Go to the Shopify App Store.
- Search for “Temu Marketplace” or use the official link from Temu.
- Click Install and accept the necessary permissions.
- Open the app from your Shopify sidebar and connect your Temu seller account. If you don’t have one, the app guides you through account creation.
Once connected, you can start syncing products to Temu.
Syncing Products to Temu
To list your products:
- Open the Temu Shopify app and go to the Product Sync section.
- Select the products you want to publish on Temu.
- Confirm basic product information. Temu will automatically generate listings, including product title, description, price, and images.
Tip: Double-check Temu’s auto-categorization to ensure your products appear in the right marketplace category. You can adjust titles or descriptions if needed to improve visibility.
Managing Inventory and Orders
- Inventory: Shopify stock updates are automatically reflected on Temu, helping prevent overselling. Note that Temu sales may update back to Shopify with a slight delay.
- Orders: Temu orders are primarily handled in the Temu seller dashboard. The Shopify app provides basic visibility but does not fully centralize order management. You’ll still process shipments and updates through Temu.
Practical Tips for Success
- Optimize Product Listings: Make sure your titles and descriptions match what international buyers search for. High-quality images help conversions.
- Start Small: Sync a few SKUs first to test the workflow before scaling your catalog.
- Adjust Pricing & Shipping: Temu fees and shipping costs differ from your Shopify store. Consider them when setting prices.
- Monitor Performance: Use Shopify analytics and Temu’s dashboard together to track sales and improve listings.
Final Thoughts
The Temu Shopify integration makes it much easier for Shopify merchants to explore cross-border sales. It reduces manual work in product listing and inventory management while allowing sellers to test Temu’s global marketplace efficiently.If you already run a Shopify store, this integration is a low-friction way to expand internationally without overcomplicating your operations.
