How to Sell on Temu UK for Beginners
Getting started with Temu is easy, and your account can be up and running in no time.
Create a Seller Account and Verify Your Profile
The first step is to create your Seller Account.
Go to the Temu Seller Centre and enter your business information. Temu supports different businesses, including corporations, partnerships, sole traders, and individual sellers.
Enter your seller information. Temu will need details like your full name, address, and VAT information.
Verify your Temu account by sending the relevant documentation. You’ll need to send things like driver’s licence or passport, proof of address, registered business address, and citizenship. You’ll also need a UK bank account to register as a Local-to-Local seller.
Set up your store. Build trust by creating a professional seller profile with a logo, banner, and description of your business.
Temu’s Seller Requirements & Restrictions
Before signing up for your Temu account, it’s worth familiarising yourself with Temu’s seller requirements and restrictions.
These restrictions include:
Accurate listings. You must describe your items accurately and include high-quality images and specifications.
Fast shipping. You’ll be responsible for the shipping and despatch of your Temu orders. You should aim to send orders within 48 hours and provide your buyers with Temu tracking information. Smart Send can help you send your orders quickly and efficiently at the cheapest prices.
Competitive pricing. Temu is famous for low prices and encourages sellers to keep their margins low.
How to Optimise Your Temu Product Listings
Your product listings are your storefront. You want to make them as attention-grabbing as possible to stop buyers from scrolling past.
Write Clear, Keyword-Focused Product Titles
Make your product title interesting. Use keywords to cut through the competition and highlight your product’s key benefits to avoid being generic. A good tip is to name your items consistently in the following way: brand, product type, unique features. For example: Montane Waterproof Hiking Backpack – Lightweight, 80L Capacity.
Create Detailed Descriptions
Accurate, detailed descriptions give your customers the confidence to click ‘buy’. Include unique selling points, materials, and care tips, and focus on benefits rather than features to leave shoppers in no doubt that they need your product!
Add High-Quality Product Images
High-quality images will make all the difference when it comes to converting clicks to sales. Images must be at least 800x800 pixels, and you should include three or more images from different angles. Take your photographs in good light and show the item in use if possible.
Competitive Pricing
The best way to keep your pricing competitive is to check similar listings. Temu thrives on small margins, but you’ll need to strike your own balance between attractive pricing and what’s affordable for you.
Highlight Shipping Speed and Reliability
When you sell on Temu Local-to-Local, you’ll be responsible for your own shipping. That’s where we can help you out! By using Parcel2Go’s quick quote tool, you’ll be able to compare hundreds of quotes from the UK’s top couriers in minutes. Speedy shipping can help you win sales and good reviews, so wow your customers with next-day delivery starting from just £2.20 exc VAT, and free parcel tracking on every item.
Maintain Loyalty & Reviews
Customer service is key on Temu and will encourage repeat visits to your store. Make sure you respond quickly to both queries and complaints; and encourage customers to leave reviews of your products and your service. Reviews affect your ranking on Temu—the more you have, the higher your products will appear.
How to Promote Temu Listings for More Sales
Temu has its own display ads platform, which you can leverage to boost visibility of your products or promote special deals and discounts. The best approach is to use your ad budget to place bids on keywords that are showing organic conversions.
Other options are to try your hand at influencer collabs. This needn’t be a big-budget option if you focus on micro-influencers who are active in your niche. Look for content creators with less than 50,000 followers and ask them to create unboxing videos or demos that can be linked to your listings.
