OTTO Marketplace Agency

Otto.de is one of the largest online marketplaces in Germany. So far, retailers can apply as an interested party and Otto decides who is included and who is not. If you win the election, you will get much more reach for your products and have less competition than on Amazon or eBay.

Read here how we can support you to be found best in the Otto.de search and thus achieve higher sales.

OTTO Marketplace

With many new marketplaces, traders are initially cautious. Is the effort even worth it? Can the marketplace establish itself? After all, some of the greats have been there for years. Otto is already established and generates the second-highest sales in Germany. So you don’t have to worry about enough coverage and a professional team.

The fees are also much clearer than on other marketplaces. You only pay a monthly base fee and a sales commission for items sold and not returned. This makes pricing very simple and no complicated calculations are needed to check if the sale is even worth it.

In addition, all customers have undergone a credit check to ensure payment.
