How to sell on Temu as a US seller

Last updated . Written by the Seller Channel team.

Short answer

US businesses sell on Temu by registering in Temu's Seller Center as a United States seller, completing an application, and then listing products that they ship to US shoppers from their own US inventory. Temu's seller page says creating an account takes about a minute, the application about 10 minutes, and that applications are normally reviewed within one business day. Temu decides who is approved, and its seller terms apply.

What is Temu's local seller program?

Temu runs a Local Seller Program that lets businesses sell and ship locally. In a February 2026 press release, Temu said it launched the program in the US in 2024 and that it is now active in more than 35 markets. For a US store, that means you list products stocked in the United States and ship orders to US shoppers yourself.

It tends to suit stores that already hold stock and ship their own orders, such as Shopify, WooCommerce, Etsy or Amazon sellers looking for another US sales channel.

How do you register as a Temu seller in the US?

Temu's seller page, checked November 14, 2026, describes three steps:

  1. Create your account (about 1 minute): choose the United States as the country where your business is registered or where you reside, then sign up with an email address or phone number and a password.
  2. Complete your application (about 10 minutes).
  3. Receive your application result (about 1 day). Temu notes that applications are "normally" reviewed within one business day.

These are Temu's own estimates, not guarantees. Prepare your business details first; see requirements and approval, documents and common problems.

What does it cost?

Temu's February 2026 press release says there are no registration fees. Its public seller page describes "low costs" but does not publish a commission or fee table, so check the fees shown in Seller Center and in your seller agreement before you list. Your own product, packaging and shipping costs still apply. More in Temu seller fees for US sellers.

What support and tools does Temu describe?

What happens after approval?

  1. List your products with complete titles, images and attributes.
  2. Price them so each sale still makes a margin after shipping.
  3. Ship orders from your US stock within the handling time you set.
  4. Work on visibility through listing quality, reviews and promotions.

Nothing here guarantees traffic or sales. Results depend on your products, prices and how well you run the store.

I'm interested in becoming a seller on Temu. Has anyone successfully achieved this, and could you share your experience?

We cannot share personal seller results, but the public process is short. Temu's seller page describes three steps: create an account in about a minute, complete the application in about 10 minutes, and receive a result in about a day. Prepare business, tax, identity, address and bank details first, because marketplaces must verify them, and expect Temu to decide.

Temu publishes seller stories on its own page; treat them as marketing, not typical results. Our approval and documents guide lists what to prepare.
