Temu Launches First Official Shopify App: Enabling Local Merchants to Quickly Expand into Global Markets

Ebrun Exclusive: On December 16, Temu officially announced the launch of its first dedicated official app for Shopify merchants, enabling them to list and manage products directly on the Temu platform via their Shopify accounts. This move signifies Temu's further deepening of its global local seller ecosystem development.

The app is now available on the Shopify App Store and supports merchant participation in Temu's Local Seller Program, which covers over 30 markets including key regions such as the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, and Australia.

Through this app, Shopify merchants can seamlessly manage product listings, inventory, and fulfillment processes on a single platform, thereby unlocking new sales opportunities within Temu's global local market network.

It is reported that Temu launched the Local Seller Program in 2024, aiming to help local businesses sell and fulfill orders within their home markets, improve delivery speed, and enrich product choices for local consumers. Since its inception, the program has attracted a growing number of merchants, offering a wide range of products from daily groceries and plants to books and items from local entrepreneurs.

The integration with Shopify's app further reduces the need for merchants to set up independent infrastructure in different markets, allowing them to reach a vast and diverse customer base.

By syncing Shopify merchants' product catalogs with the Temu platform, merchants can instantly list products in over 30 markets covered by the Local Seller Program, thereby lowering operational costs and management complexity.

The app's key features include: one-click product synchronization for fast and accurate listing; real-time inventory updates to prevent overselling; and automated order and logistics coordination for smooth fulfillment.

A Temu spokesperson stated: "Shopify merchants can now easily reach new customers on our global platform. This app is part of our efforts to lower entry barriers, create growth opportunities for merchants worldwide, while offering consumers more convenience and choice."

It is understood that the markets currently covered by Temu's Local Seller Program include:

United States, Mexico, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Austria, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Sweden, Japan, South Korea, Canada, Australia, Portugal, Turkey, Greece, Denmark, Finland, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ireland, Lithuania, Croatia, Brazil, Estonia, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates, Latvia, Cyprus, Norway.
