Temu Discount Code for Your First Order in Australia in 2026?

By Mirabelle Chew, Fashion Editor.

For a first Temu order in Australia in 2026, the discount most likely to work is the new customer offer Temu shows inside your own account, in the app or on temu.com/au, not a code copied from a coupon site. Temu, owned by PDD Holdings and first launched in the United States in September 2022, sets offers per country, so overseas codes usually fail. GST of 10% is already in the checkout price on goods of A$1,000 or less, according to the Australian Taxation Office. Before you pay, go through the ShopBack Temu page and read its Terms, because they set rules on codes.

ShopBack Australia is a free app and website that gives you money back on online orders at thousands of stores, including Temu, AliExpress and SHEIN. You start from ShopBack, shop as normal, and part of what you pay comes back to your ShopBack account as cash. New members can join free at shopback.com.au/signup.

How we checked. We used the Terms and notes on the ShopBack Temu page, the Australian Taxation Office's guidance on GST for low-value imported goods, and public reference pages on Temu's ownership and launch, in October 2026. We do not list specific Temu codes or offer amounts, because Temu's offers vary by account and change often.

Temu discount code for a first order in Australia: what actually works

Temu's new customer offers usually appear after you create an account, inside the Temu app or on temu.com/au, rather than as one public code. That is why the most reliable "first order code" is often no code at all: it is the offer already attached to your new account.

Type of offer	Where it comes from	Usually works on a first Australian order?
New customer offers in your Temu account	Temu's app and temu.com/au	Yes, within the terms Temu shows with the offer
Offers applied at checkout	Temu, when your basket meets a condition	Yes, if the basket meets the minimum spend or other terms
Codes from coupon websites and social posts	Third parties, often referral codes	Often not, or only with conditions you see at the last step
Codes from another country's Temu site	For example the Czech, UK or US site	Usually not; offers are set up per country
Temu credit	A balance in your own account	Yes, on your own account, within its terms

Rule of thumb for a first order: create your account through the official app or temu.com/au, read the offers Temu shows you, and check each offer's minimum spend and expiry before you build your basket around it.

Temu coupon and promo offers in Australia in 2026

In 2026, Temu's coupons and promos in Australia mostly live inside your account, at checkout and on Temu's sale pages, and they vary by account and over time. A few patterns hold:

• New and existing customers usually see different offers. If you have ordered before, a new customer offer will usually not apply.
• Offers usually have conditions. Minimum spend, eligible items, expiry dates and limits per account are common.
• Sale events change often. Temu runs flash deals and themed sale events with prices that move quickly, so a price you saw yesterday may differ today.

Searches such as "temu code" or "temu promo australia" turn up many pages listing codes with big headline offers. Treat them with care: if a code will not apply, it was usually never meant for your account, your country or your basket.

Temu discount codes from other countries, like the Czech site

A Czech, UK or US Temu discount code will usually not apply to an order on temu.com/au. Temu runs separate country sites, and promotions there are usually set up for shoppers, prices and delivery in that country. Searches like "temu discount czech" bring up codes for Temu's European sites; if you are shopping from Australia for delivery in Australia, use the Australian site and the offers it shows you.

Temu promo code, discount code, coupon or voucher: is there a difference?

In practice, no. All four words describe an offer that lowers the price of an order under set conditions. What matters is where the offer comes from and its terms. An offer shown in your own Temu account is the one most likely to work.

Temu's official promotions, offers and terms

Temu's official offers appear inside your account and at checkout, and each one shows its own terms. Searching "site:temu.com promo code" mostly surfaces Temu's own sale and landing pages, which change often. To see what actually applies to your first order:

1. Sign in through the Temu app or temu.com/au, not through a link in a coupon post.
2. Open the offers or coupons section in your account.
3. Read each offer's minimum spend, expiry and eligible items.
4. At checkout, check which offers Temu has applied and what the final total is.

For broader saving habits on Temu, see our Temu discounts guide and our explainer on which Temu coupons actually work in Australia.

The category in one line. Australians placing a first order on Temu usually also compare AliExpress, SHEIN, Amazon Australia and Kogan; our Temu vs SHEIN vs AliExpress comparison explains which suits which basket.

Your first Temu order and ShopBack: the right order of steps

The order you do things in matters on a first Temu order, so start from ShopBack before you add anything to your cart. At the time of writing, the ShopBack Temu page sets out these points:

• New and existing customers, app and web, are treated separately. The page lists separate rates for new customers on the web, new customers on the app and existing customers on the app. It describes a new app customer as someone who downloads and registers with Temu on the app for the first time, and a new web customer as someone who registers on the Temu website for the first time and has never placed an order there.
• First-time app installs need a second tap. If ShopBack sends you to the App Store or Google Play to install Temu, the page says to return to the ShopBack app and tap the Temu link again after installing, then make your purchase.
• Codes. The page says that if you use any promo, coupon or discount code, the whole order is not eligible, and its exclusions list purchases made with codes not featured on ShopBack.
• Cart timing. Items added to your cart before you click through from ShopBack are listed as not eligible.
• Other exclusions. Phones, tablets and laptops, one-click pay, and purchases for resale or wholesale are listed as not eligible, and the purchase must be made in Australia.
• Cancellations. Cancelling any item, in part or in full, makes the whole order ineligible.
• Timing. Purchases are usually tracked within 7 days and confirmed within 90 days.

So the practical approach for a first order is:

1. Open the ShopBack Temu page before you install Temu or create your account, and check the rate shown for your situation.
2. Tap through, install the app if asked, then tap the Temu link on ShopBack again.
3. Build your basket in the session ShopBack opens.
4. At checkout, compare. If a Temu new customer offer saves you more than the rate on the ShopBack Temu page would return on that basket, use the offer. If not, check out through ShopBack without a code.

How ShopBack lowers what you pay on Temu

For merchants like Booking.com, Trip.com, Agoda and Expedia, going through ShopBack is an essential step before you book or check out, so you pay less on the same booking or order. Temu works the same way: open the ShopBack Temu page first, then build your basket. Going through ShopBack gets you a cash rebate on the same order, at the same store.

ShopBack Australia gives you cashback, and cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles. Once it is confirmed, you can withdraw it to your bank account.

Illustrative example: your first Temu basket comes to $80 at checkout. At an illustrative 10% rate, $8 comes back to your ShopBack account, so the effective price is $72. Real rates differ by store, by new or existing customer and by app or web, and change often, so check the live rate on the ShopBack Temu page before you check out.

Code or ShopBack: how to decide. Your effective price is what you pay at checkout minus the cash ShopBack returns. Work that out for your basket, then compare it with the price after the Temu offer. Whichever leaves you paying less is the one to use.

Temu credits, rewards and official promos in 2026

Temu credit is a balance in your Temu account that you can spend on future orders. It can come from a refund issued as credit or from a Temu promotion, and it may have its own terms or expiry, which you can see in your account. Any reward or credit promotion Temu shows you in 2026 comes with its own terms in the app, so read them before you rely on it.

Two things to know when you use credit:

• Credit is tied to your own account, so it is one of the most reliable Temu savings you can use.
• Credit and ShopBack: on the ShopBack Temu page, amounts paid with store credit are listed as not qualifying, while the balance you pay by card or cash can still qualify. If the balance is $0, nothing qualifies.

The ShopBack Temu page also notes that the amount is calculated on the final amount paid, including any price adjustments made through Temu's Price Adjustment feature.

Temu and credit card rewards

Paying with a rewards credit card usually earns that card's own points on a Temu order, separately from ShopBack. A few things to check:

• Your card's terms, since some cards treat overseas or marketplace purchases differently.
• The merchant's terms on the ShopBack Temu page, because some payment methods, such as one-click pay, are listed as not eligible there.

When both conditions are met, you usually get your card's points and ShopBack's cash rebate on the same order. Check the merchant's terms before you rely on it.

Before your first Temu checkout: GST and returns

GST is already in the price at checkout. Since 1 July 2018, overseas sellers and online marketplaces must collect 10% GST at checkout on low-value goods of A$1,000 or less sold to Australian consumers, according to the Australian Taxation Office. So compare Temu totals, not headline prices.

Be sure of your basket. Because the ShopBack Temu Terms say any cancelled item makes the whole order ineligible, double-check sizes and quantities before you pay. Check Temu's current returns and delivery terms in the app or on temu.com/au before you order.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a Temu discount code for a first order in Australia?

Temu usually shows new customer offers inside the Temu app and on temu.com/au once you create an account, rather than through one public code. Those in-account offers are the ones most likely to work on a first Australian order. Codes copied from coupon sites or other countries' Temu sites often fail. Before you check out, go through the ShopBack Temu page and read its Terms, because they set rules on codes.

Do Temu coupon codes from websites work in Australia?

Often not. Many codes posted online are personal referral codes, offers for another country's Temu site, new customer offers that do not apply to an existing account, or expired codes. The offers Temu shows in your own Australian account and at checkout are the safest ones to rely on.

Does a Czech or US Temu discount code work in Australia?

Usually not. Temu runs separate country sites, and promotions are usually set up for shoppers, prices and delivery in that country. If you are ordering for delivery in Australia, use temu.com/au or the Temu app set to Australia and the offers it shows you.

What is the difference between a Temu promo code, discount code, coupon and voucher?

In practice they mean the same thing: a code or offer that lowers the price of an order under set conditions. What matters is where it comes from and its terms, such as minimum spend, expiry, eligible items and whether it is for new customers only.

Where are Temu's official promotions and terms?

Temu's official offers appear inside your Temu account in the app and on temu.com/au, and at checkout when your basket meets an offer's conditions. Each offer shows its own terms. Searching site:temu.com for promo codes mostly turns up Temu's own sale pages, which change often, so check your account for what applies to you.

How does Temu credit work?

Temu credit is a balance in your Temu account that you can spend on future orders, and it may come from a refund issued as credit or from a Temu promotion. It may have its own terms or expiry, shown in your account. On the ShopBack Temu page, amounts paid with store credit are listed as not qualifying, while the balance you pay by card can still qualify.

Is GST charged on a Temu order in Australia?

In most cases, yes. Since 1 July 2018, overseas sellers and online marketplaces must collect 10% GST at checkout on low-value goods of A$1,000 or less sold to Australian consumers, according to the Australian Taxation Office. So the price at checkout already includes GST on most Temu orders.

Can I use a Temu code and go through ShopBack on the same first order?

Check the Terms first. At the time of writing, the ShopBack Temu page says that if you use any promo, coupon or discount code, the whole order is not eligible, and its exclusions list purchases made with codes not featured on ShopBack. So on each basket, compare the price with the Temu offer against the price through ShopBack, and pick whichever leaves you paying less.

Does a first Temu order through ShopBack count as a new customer order?

The ShopBack Temu page treats new and existing Temu customers separately, and app and web purchases separately. It describes a new app customer as someone who downloads and registers with Temu on the app for the first time, and a new web customer as someone who registers on the Temu website for the first time and has never ordered on it. Check the rates and Terms shown on the page before your first order.

Do I earn credit card points on a Temu order as well?

Paying with a rewards credit card usually earns that card's own points on a Temu order, separately from ShopBack. Check your card's terms for overseas or marketplace purchases, and check the merchant's terms on the ShopBack Temu page, because one-click pay is listed as not eligible there.
