店铺体系不同:全托管与半托管是两个独立的体系。如果一个卖家已经是全托管状态,并且想要转为半托管,那么他们需要重新开设一个新的店铺
履约方式不同:
在全托管模式下,卖家只需将货物发至国内仓,后续的干线物流、末端配送等履约动作由Temu处理。备货量由TEMU来判定,小体积的空运大约8-10天能到达
在半托管模式下,主要面向在海外仓有货的卖家。在该模式下,卖家需要自行导入平台订单,并直接发货给消费者,同时负责退货等逆向物流
上架流程不同:
在全托管模式下,卖家需要遵循选品、寄样、审版、图审等流程,上架审核周期相对较长,自主性也较低
在半托管模式下,卖家可以跳过选品、寄样、审版、图审等流程,直接将海外仓的商品上架至美国、欧洲等站点进行销售,而Temu将负责完善商品详情,协助比价等
Different store systems: Full-managed and semi-managed are two independent systems. If a seller is already in full-managed status and wants to switch to semi-managed, they need to open a new store
Different fulfillment methods:
Under the full-managed model, sellers only need to send goods to domestic warehouses, and subsequent trunk logistics, terminal distribution and other fulfillment actions are handled by Temu. The inventory is determined by TEMU, and small-volume air transport can arrive in about 8-10 days
Under the semi-managed model, it is mainly for sellers who have goods in overseas warehouses. In this mode, sellers need to import platform orders by themselves and ship directly to consumers, and are also responsible for reverse logistics such as returns.
Different listing processes:
In the full-hosting mode, sellers need to follow processes such as product selection, sample delivery, version review, and image review. The listing review cycle is relatively long and the autonomy is also low.
In the semi-hosting mode, sellers can skip processes such as product selection, sample delivery, version review, and image review, and directly list products from overseas warehouses on sites such as the United States and Europe for sale, while Temu will be responsible for completing product details and assisting with price comparisons, etc.
Regular stores are self-operated stores, and everything is sold by themselves. Semi-managed stores are franchise stores, and only the product layout and price are guided. Other things are operated by the store.
There are the following differences between Temu regular stores and semi-managed stores:
- Opening method: Regular stores require sellers to upload products and fill in basic information by themselves, and maintain inventory at the same time; semi-managed stores require sellers to re-open stores and choose semi-managed services before they can start selling.
- Sales process: Regular stores are responsible for product selection, sample delivery, version review, image review and other processes; semi-managed stores can skip these processes, and the platform will complete product details and compare prices, put products on the site for sale, and provide customer service support for consumers.
- Delivery mode: Regular stores require sellers to be responsible for warehouse management, direct delivery of goods to consumers, and return and exchange of goods; in semi-managed stores, sellers need to send goods to domestic warehouses, and the rest of the trunk logistics, terminal delivery and other fulfillment actions will be handled by Temu, or the sellers can complete the delivery fulfillment by themselves.
In general, regular stores are more suitable for sellers with experience and resources, while semi-hosted stores are more suitable for sellers who want to simplify the sales process and get platform support.
