FAQ – Selling on French Marketplaces

Which marketplace is best for launching in France as a new seller?

Amazon and Cdiscount remain the easiest entry points thanks to high traffic and broad-category acceptance. For niche verticals, ManoMano and Leroy Merlin (DIY), La Redoute (fashion/home) or Decathlon (sports) may offer better conversion.

Do I need a French company to sell on French marketplaces?

No. Most platforms accept EU or international sellers as long as VAT registration, invoicing and customer-service requirements are met. Some marketplaces (Fnac, Decathlon, Leroy Merlin) require French-language customer service.

What categories sell best in France in 2025?

Fashion/apparel, beauty, home & living, DIY, sports/outdoors, and consumer electronics are among the highest-volume segments. Recommerce fashion is also booming thanks to Vinted’s dominance.
