Part of the Target Plus guide.

Last reviewed: October 8, 2026 · Based on Target's public information.

What categories does Target Plus carry?

Target said in July 2026 that Target Plus categories include apparel and accessories, beauty and wellness, home, entertainment, and food.

In the same update, Target said it is adding bigger items such as laptops, televisions, and printers to Target Plus, and using Target Plus to expand choice in sports equipment. Target also said it expanded its K-beauty offering on Target Plus to hundreds of new items, and that Target Plus brands account for more than half of its K-beauty assortment.

Target has also added larger home items such as furniture to Target Plus.

Why is Target moving bigger items to Target Plus?

Target said in July 2026, in the context of its Fun 101 work, that stores focus on what guests shop in person, and that Target Plus carries larger items. The marketplace is where those bigger products can sit without asking every store to hold them.

How does Target judge brand fit?

Target said in July 2026 that Target Plus is invite-only, that it calls the approach curation at scale, and that it focuses on brands that add something meaningful for guests and reinforce style, design, and value. Being in a named category does not decide the brand.

How are Target Plus items discovered?

Target said in July 2026 that it is integrating Target Plus more fully into promotions and discovery experiences such as its Deals Hub, and working on Target Plus items showing up more clearly in AI-powered search with partners like OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft.

How to judge your own fit

These are Acenda's readiness questions, not Target's criteria.

• Does the assortment add something Target's own shelf lacks?
• Can you meet U.S. fulfillment, shipping from within the U.S. on UPS, USPS, or FedEx?
• Is the catalog ready for barcodes, size charts, and the content bar? See the listing requirements checklist.
