On August 7, 2024, the long-awaited shopping platform, Kaufland Marketplace, will debut in the Polish market. This event, which all e-commerce sellers should pay special attention to, will open up new opportunities for expansion and reaching a wide range of customers.


What is Kaufland Marketplace?

Kaufland Marketplace is an online shopping platform that will be integrated with the website kaufland.pl. Operating in a marketplace model, Kaufland will allow collaboration with external retail sellers who will be able to offer their products on the site. Customers will gain access to millions of items across more than 6,400 categories, making the selection truly impressive.

Kaufland Global Marketplace brings not only a change in how Poles shop online but also a range of benefits for sellers. Firstly, for the first three months after launch, no commissions will be charged, which could be a tempting proposition for entrepreneurs looking for new growth opportunities. Additionally, discounts offered on sponsored product ads can help further promote listings. Additional services, such as Kaufland Fulfillment, enabling the delegation of order picking, packing, and shipping directly to the customer, are an additional advantage of this platform that may attract sellers looking for comprehensive solutions. As a result, Kaufland Global Marketplace becomes not only a sales venue but also a business partner, offering support and tools necessary to achieve success in the e-commerce market.


Previous successes

Kaufland Marketplace is already successfully operating in Germany, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia, where it has gained great popularity. In these markets, the platform has become one of the largest trading services on the Internet, attracting millions of users. In Poland, before the official launch, over 2,000 sellers have already registered, indicating a high level of interest and trust in the Kaufland brand.


Expansion into the Austrian market

After debuting in Poland, Kaufland Marketplace plans further expansion. In September 2024, the platform will also launch in Austria. This step will open another large market for online sellers, allowing them to reach an even wider range of customers. With the expansion into Austria, Kaufland Marketplace strengthens its position as a key player in the European e-commerce market.
