Orders

• Support Fulfillments - Whether to support fulfilling orders when they are fulfilled on your platform

An important step is to define what products you want to publish to Temu This can be done via Products and Rules from the left navigation.

• Click Add Overwrite
• Select Temu
• Select Publish and Create Rule

Some common rules for Publishing include:

• Custom Field or Tag:

Depending on your eCommerce platform.

E.g., IF Tag / Custom Field = temu, THEN publish = TRUE; ELSE FALSE. 

• Brand-based conditions: 

E.g., IF Brand = “MPM”, THEN publish = TRUE; ELSE FALSE. 

• SKU-based rules: 

E.g., IF SKU in ("XYZ123","ABC456"), THEN publish = TRUE; ELSE FALSE

• Keyword matching: 

E.g., IF Title contains “Eco-Friendly”, THEN publish = TRUE; ELSE FALSE

In order to create listings on Temu, the below mappings are required.

Category Mapping

• Go to Products and Mappings from the left navigation. 
• Match your source product categories with Temu’s category tree. 
• Repeat the process for all Source Categories. 

NOTE – You can bulk export / import via a spreadsheet. 

For more details on the mapping process please refer to this guide HERE

Category Attribute Mapping 

• Open the Category Attribute tab under the Temu channel.
• Map your store’s internal fields (e.g., brand) to Temu’s required attributes. 
• Use default values where attribute values are missing. 
• Pay special attention to required attributes that will show automatically upon category selection. 

Product Attribute Mapping

• For Apparel categories, both Apparel_Color and Apparel_Size attributes must be mapped under the Attribute Mapping section, as these are mandatory for creating product variations on the Temu platform.
• For Non-Apparel categories, any two attributes —selected from the available list (e.g., Model, Capacity, Style, Material, etc.)—must be mapped in order to generate valid product variations. All relevant attributes are available within the Attribute Mapping. 

NOTE – You can bulk export / import via a spreadsheet per attribute selected. 

For more details on the mapping process please refer to this guide HERE

Marketplace Maximizer  Rules Builder allows dynamic transformation of product data without modifying your Source catalogue.

•  Go to Products and then Settings from the left navigation. 
• Under the Destination tab click Pending Approval next to Temu.
• This will confirm you want to approve all products to Temu. 

When Do We Create New Listings? 

New listings are created when: 

• Products are first published from Marketplace Maximizer to Temu. 

• Required data (title, description, SKU, category mapping, Country of Origin.) is present. 

NOTE - Product Review Delay:

• After we sync a product to Temu, it typically takes 2–3 business days for it to be reviewed and made active on the platform.

When Do We Update Listings (e.g., Stock, Price)? 

Listings are updated in the following scenarios: 

• When stock, price, or product details change in Source. 
• On scheduled sync intervals or via manual update in the app. 

You can review the status of Temu by going to:

• Dashboard from the left navigation
• Selecting Product Health and Temu from the Dropdown
  • % of Successful Product listings.
  • % of Products with Errors.
    • A summary of error categories for you to click into to see the actions required to remove these errors. Dashboard summarizes:

• Temu Signature Error 

Description: 
Temu signature errors can occur due to timestamp delays during bulk publishing. 

Exact Error Message: 
["sign is invalid, please check your sign calculation"] 

Action: 
Republish after a few minutes. Bulk publishing may cause timestamp sync delays. 

• Invalid Request Parameters

Description: 
This error occurs when request fields have incorrect formats (e.g., weight, height, width as strings; quantity as integer). 

Exact Error Message: 
["Invalid Request Parameters"] 

Action: 
If this error occurs, correct the field formats and resend the request. 

• SKU Duplicated 

Description: 
This error indicates the SKU already exists. Although ideally prevented, it may occur in rare edge cases.

["SKU duplicated"] 

Action: 
Ensure SKU is unique before sending. Temu does not support creating duplicate products. 

• Attribute or Specification Error: Keyword attribute [Plug Type] verification error: Missing parent attribute value.

Description: 
This error is category-specific, where the attribute (e.g., "Plug Type") varies by category. It occurs due to a missing parent attribute value. Since the Temu API response does not explicitly define parent-child relationships between attributes, resolving this requires reviewing all attributes and logically identifying and mapping the relevant parent attribute. 

Exact Error Message: 
["Attribute or Specification Error: Keyword attribute [Plug Type] verification error: Missing parent attribute value."] 

Action: 
Carefully check all attributes to identify the missing parent attribute based on category logic, then update and resend. 

3.SKU Duplicated 

Description: 
This error indicates the SKU already exists. Although ideally prevented, it may occur in rare edge cases. 

Exact Error Message: 
["SKU duplicated"] 

Action: 
Ensure SKU is unique before sending. Temu does not support creating duplicate products. 

• Attribute or Specification Error: Keyword attribute [Plug Type] verification error: Missing parent attribute value.

Description: 
This error is category-specific, where the attribute (e.g., "Plug Type") varies by category. It occurs due to a missing parent attribute value. Since the Temu API response does not explicitly define parent-child relationships between attributes, resolving this requires reviewing all attributes and logically identifying and mapping the relevant parent attribute. 

Exact Error Message: 
["Attribute or Specification Error: Keyword attribute [Plug Type] verification error: Missing parent attribute value."] 

Action: 
Carefully check all attributes to identify the missing parent attribute based on category logic, then update and resend. 

• Category Mapping Not Found

Description: 
This error occurs when the product’s category has not been mapped in our portal. Without a valid mapping, the system cannot determine the corresponding Temu category, resulting in a failure during validation or upload. 

Exact Error Message: 
[Category mapping not found] 

Action: 
Follow Step 4: Category Mapping from the above and ensure the correct category is mapped before retrying. 

• specIdListNot Found for SKU 

Description: 
This occurs when at least one variant-defining attribute is missing or not mapped. Variant attributes are required to generate product variations, and without a mapped variant attribute, the system cannot construct the specIdList for SKUs. 

Exact Error Message: 
[specIdList not found for SKU] 

Action: 
Follow Step 5: Category Attribute Mapping from above. Ensure at least one variant attribute is mapped. 
To verify, click the "?" icon next to the attribute—its name should include: 
skuList.specIdList.{value} 
At least one such attribute must be selected for variation creation.

Exact Error Message: 
[The size chart parameters are abnormal] 

Action: 
Follow Step 5: Category Attribute Mapping in the onboarding documentation. Use the Size Chart Image attribute and provide a valid link to the size chart image.
