Otto Marketplace Management: Onboarding, Listings & Otto Ads
Otto is the marketplace German households trust alongside Amazon, and it works differently. Sellers are approved, not self-served; listings must carry complete German product data; and the customer expects Otto-level service. We handle the application, build compliant listings in German and run the account day to day for brands that want a real second channel in Germany.
