In August 2024, Kaufland Global Marketplace officially launched in the Polish market. Since then, the platform has grown rapidly, reaching up to 3 million online visitors per month in Poland and attracting over 3,000 registered sellers. For e-commerce businesses looking to expand across Europe, Kaufland Marketplace remains one of the most dynamic opportunities available.


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.

Kaufland Marketplace operates successfully in Germany, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia, where it has become one of the largest online trading platforms. In Germany, the platform attracts up to 32 million online visitors per month and offers over 45 million products. Following the launches in Poland and Austria in 2024, the marketplace expanded to France and Italy in 2025, and announced further launches in Spain and the Netherlands for summer 2026. Across all markets, Kaufland now has over 13,000 registered sellers and reaches approximately 139 million online consumers.
