What Is Target Plus? How Target Plus Works for Sellers - Shopify

Google News - Target Marketplace Sellers29d agotarget

Executive Summary

Shopify published a guide explaining how Target Plus (Target's invite-only marketplace) works for sellers. No policy changes announced; this is educational content covering seller eligibility, operations, and onboarding.

Our Take

Target Plus remains invite-only with no self-serve onboarding, meaning most sellers can't act on this directly — but agencies can use this as a pitch asset for brand clients seeking premium marketplace diversification. Check your client roster for brands already selling on Target.com retail; those relationships are the fastest path to a Target Plus invite.

What This Means

Target Plus's closed model reflects platform consolidation where marketplaces compete on seller quality over volume, pressuring mid-tier brands to prove retail credibility to access premium channels.

Key Takeaways

If you manage a brand doing $1M+ on Amazon, audit their retail partnerships — Target Plus invites typically flow through existing vendor or retail relationships, not cold outreach.

In the next 30 days, add Target Plus as a tracked opportunity in your channel expansion roadmap; document client eligibility criteria (brand size, category fit, logistics capability) before a invite arrives.

Bottom Line

Target Plus stays invite-only — know the criteria before the invite comes.
