European Marketplace Management: Otto, Kaufland, bol.com, Allegro and more

Amazon is only part of Europe. Otto and Kaufland reach German households Amazon doesn’t; bol.com owns the Netherlands and Belgium; Allegro is Poland; Zalando is fashion across the continent. We onboard your brand, build compliant listings in the local language and run the accounts day to day, from a team that already does this for European clients.

Which marketplace first?

A rough guide we use with new clients. You get a specific recommendation in the audit.

  • Home, furniture, garden, fashion with German stock, start with Otto, then Kaufland; add XXXLutz for furniture.
  • Broad consumer catalogue wanting several countries fast, Kaufland (five countries, one account), then Allegro for Poland.
  • Netherlands and Belgium, bol.com, usually alongside Amazon.nl.
  • France, Cdiscount and Fnac Darty together, alongside Amazon.fr.
  • Electronics, MediaMarkt Saturn and Check24 next to Amazon and Otto.
  • Fashion, Zalando Partner Program, once imagery and size data are retail-grade.
  • Health and beauty, Shop Apotheke / Redcare for pharmacy-trusted reach.
  • Nordics, CDON as a low-risk test market.
