Cdiscount

With over 10 million active buyers, Cdiscount provides access to a large, engaged audience. The marketplace offers competitive commission rates compared to Amazon France and supports both B2B and B2C sales through Cdiscount Pro. Sellers benefit from Octopia’s logistics and fulfillment solutions, making warehousing, shipping, and returns management more efficient. Compared to other European marketplaces, Cdiscount has less competition, increasing visibility for approved sellers.

Challenges to Consider:

Sellers must provide customer support in French, making localization a key factor for success. VAT registration in France is mandatory for international merchants. While Octopia simplifies logistics, additional fees apply for storage and fulfillment services. Cdiscount’s customer base is highly price-sensitive, requiring a well-planned pricing strategy to stay competitive.

Countries & Regions:

Cdiscount primarily serves the French market through cdiscount.com, while also enabling cross-border sales to Belgium, Spain, Italy, and Germany via Cdiscount Global and Octopia.
