Temu Coupon Code for Your First Order: A New User’s Guide (Up to 90% Off)

Your first Temu order is the one moment when everything lines up in your favour: the welcome offers are at their largest, the coupon bundles attach on top of them, and you have not yet spent any of the discounts sitting in your account. Handled well, a first order routinely ends up at a fraction of the listed prices. Here is exactly how to handle it well.

Step one: the code, right after sign-up

Create your account in the Temu app, then immediately paste alc640991 into the search bar at the top. The bundle attaches to your brand-new account alongside whatever new-user promotion Temu is already showing you — the two do not cancel each other out. If you also want the coupon pack for future orders, enter ald534540 as well; and alb536108 switches on the free-gift offers (explained here).

Step two: build the basket before checkout

This is the trick most first-timers miss. A bundle contains several coupons, and each coupon applies to a qualifying order — so an order with six useful items can trigger more of the bundle at once than six separate one-item orders ever would. Browse properly, fill the basket with things you actually want, and let the coupons come off in one go at checkout.

Step three: cross the free-shipping line

Most regions set a minimum basket value for free standard shipping. If your basket sits just under it, a low-cost filler item is nearly always cheaper than the shipping fee. Temu shows the threshold in the cart, so this takes five seconds to check.

Step four: lightning deals first, coupons second

Coupons apply after Temu’s own price cuts. Start your browsing in the lightning-deal and clearance sections, then let the unlocked coupons stack on top — that combination is where “up to 90% off” outcomes actually come from. On regular-price items, expect a solid but smaller saving; anyone promising 90% off everything is not being straight with you.

After the first order

Once you have ordered, you are an “existing customer” — and no, the coupons do not stop. They change shape: bundle codes keep working, checked against your account each time. We wrote a full guide to Temu coupons for existing customers for exactly that stage, and the homepage always carries the current month’s tested codes.

Quick answers

Which code should a new user enter first?

alc640991 — it is the broadest stack. The others can follow in the same minute.

Should I order on the app or the website?

The app. Bundle codes are designed for the app search bar, and Temu sometimes shows app-only prices and coupons. Compare before paying.

Is there a minimum first order?

No minimum to use a code, but individual coupons inside a bundle carry their own thresholds — visible under “Coupons & offers” after you activate.
