France - Sell your products to 16 million French customers on Cdiscount

Description

Sell your UK products on the platform to reach French consumers. There is a €39 monthly flat fee to list your products on Cdiscount then you’ll pay commission on completed sales which range from 4.5% to 20% depending on the category of the products sold – see below for some examples:

• Consumer electronics (4.5%)
• DIY/Tools (12%)
• Homeware (15%)
• Baby and children (15%)
• Toys (15%)
• Fashion (15%)

As a seller, you can set the prices for your products. Price competition is high due to a range of categories and products on the site – research your product category on the Cdiscount website. UKTI has agreed a preferential offer for UK companies who can benefit from three months free on the listing fee. For more information and advice on this opportunity, please register your interest. The UKTI team will be able to put you in touch with Cdiscount directly if the opportunity is appropriate for you. Amongst other minimum requirements merchants need to provide customer service in French and a French address for any returns. Cdiscount is part of the Cnova Group (€2.311 Billion in 2014) which operates e-commerce companies in more than 12 countries. In France there are 17,500 Casino supermarket locations that consumers can use to collect their parcels ordered from the UK, when using fulfilment by Cdiscount.
