Today, as the e-commerce field continues to develop and evolve, Temu, as a highly anticipated platform, attracts the participation of many merchants. In order to conduct business smoothly and effectively on the Temu platform, some core aspects must be deeply understood and grasped. Among them, the payment standards of the deposit and the difference between semi-custody and full-custody are what merchants need to focus on. Let’s take a look at the payment standards of temu deposit and the differences between temu semi-custody and full-custody?

Temu deposit payment standards:

The specific amount of Temu deposit is not fixed, but is determined by factors such as the merchant’s business category, store level, and historical sales status. Generally speaking, the deposit amount ranges from several thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan. For large stores or high-risk stores, the deposit amount may be higher. This setting is designed to ensure that the store has sufficient strength and integrity to maintain the operating order of the platform and provide users with a more reliable shopping environment.

When paying the deposit, merchants can operate through the online payment method provided by the TEMU platform, and the payment process is safe and convenient. At the same time, merchants should ensure that the account information provided is authentic and reliable so as to maintain smooth communication in subsequent business cooperation.

It is worth mentioning that the TEMU platform will regularly evaluate the operation of merchants and adjust the guarantee amount according to the evaluation results. For stores with good performance, the platform can appropriately adjust the guarantee amount to encourage them to continue to maintain a good operating status; for stores with violations, the platform can increase the guarantee amount to strengthen supervision.

What are the differences between temu semi-trusteeship and full trusteeship?

Different store systems: Full trusteeship and semi-trusteeship are two independent systems. If a full-trusteeship merchant wants to switch to semi-trusteeship, the merchant needs to open a new store.

Different fulfillment methods: Full-trusteeship merchants only need to deliver the goods to domestic warehouses, and subsequent trunk logistics and terminal distribution will be undertaken by Temu. The semi-trusteeship model is mainly for merchants in overseas warehouses. In this model, merchants need to import platform orders, deliver them directly to customers, and are responsible for reverse logistics such as returns.

Different release steps: In the full-trusteeship model, merchants need to follow the links of fund selection, sample delivery, version review, and drawing review. The release approval cycle is relatively long and the subjectivity is low. However, in the semi-custodial model, merchants can skip these processes and directly sell goods from overseas warehouses on websites in the United States, Europe, etc., while Temu will be responsible for completing product details and helping with price comparisons.

In the field of e-commerce, the Temu platform has attracted much attention from merchants. Understanding the Temu deposit payment standards and the difference between semi-custodial and full-custodial is the key to successfully conducting business on the platform.
