How do I cancel a Temu order before payment is processed?
Answer
Cancel the order from Temu's Orders page as soon as possible, then confirm in your bank or card activity that any authorization is reversed and no capture posts.
Before you start: stop right away if…
- Do not share one-time passcodes or full card details with anyone who messages you about cancelling a Temu order.
Follow these steps
Open the Temu order
Sign in to Temu, open Orders or Me > Orders, and select the order you want stopped.
You should see: The order detail page shows the current status and available actions.
Cancel before shipping if possible
Choose Cancel Order if the button is available and confirm. If the order already shipped, use the return or official help options instead.
You should see: Temu confirms cancellation, or explains that the order can only be returned after delivery.
Check the payment method
Open your bank or card app and look for a pending Temu authorization versus a completed charge.
You should see: You see either no charge, a pending hold that should clear, or a posted charge to dispute through official channels.
Follow up through official support
If cancellation failed and money was captured, contact Temu Help Center with the order number, then your card issuer if needed.
You should see: A support case or billing inquiry is opened for the unwanted payment.

Extra tips
What to look for: Whether the order status is unpaid, processing, or already shipped, and whether your bank shows a pending authorization versus a completed charge
Before you change anything: Sign in with the same Temu account used for the order. Note the order number before cancelling. Do not approve unexpected payment requests from unofficial messages. Never share card one-time codes with anyone claiming to cancel for you.
