Beta: The Temu integration is in early beta. Some details may change before full release. If anything looks wrong, message our support team.
One summary per month
Link My Books creates one summary per Temu shop for each calendar month. It's dated the last day of the month and sent to Xero or QuickBooks as a single entry.
Each month only appears once it has ended and Temu has published its finance reports for it. You won't see the current month until it's over. Months where Temu shows no activity are skipped.

When each sale is recorded
Sales are recorded on the date the order was confirmed in Temu.
Refunds are recorded on the date the refund happened, in the month it happened, even if the original sale was in an earlier month.
Cancellations are handled separately from refunds. Items cancelled before the end of the month they were ordered are never recorded as a sale. Items cancelled later reverse the sale in the month of the cancellation.
This means your summaries show what you sold each month, not just what Temu paid you that month.
What's included
Sales and shipping charged to customers, plus discounts and Temu incentives.
Temu fees and deductions, such as commission, advertising, EPR eco-contribution and fulfilment deductions.
Reserve amounts Temu holds back, and releases later.
VAT on each line, using the tax rates you choose in Accounts & Taxes.
See Temu account and tax mappings explained for every line you might see.
Where the money goes: the Temu clearing account
Temu doesn't tell us which bank deposit belongs to which sales, so each monthly summary is balanced against a Temu clearing account in Xero or QuickBooks. When Temu pays you, you match that bank deposit to the same clearing account.
Because sales are recorded when they're made, and Temu pays out later, it's normal for the clearing account to have a balance at any point in time. That balance is money Temu still owes you (or holds in reserve).

Why your first months need a check
During the beta, our Temu team checks each new shop's data before anything is sent to Xero or QuickBooks. You'll see your summaries in Link My Books, but you can't send them until we confirm everything is mapping correctly.
