Through Lengow, sellers can connect their catalogue to BricoBravo and reach a DIY community of more than 500,000 users, according to the marketplace. BricoBravo also runs physical Local Stores that serve as pickup points, which gives online orders a local relay in some areas.
The marketplace is a strong fit for brands selling tools, hardware, garden equipment, outdoor furniture, pools, gazebos, heating and cooling solutions or home furnishings. BricoBravo sells to consumers only, so assortments built for trade buyers will not find their audience here.
From family hardware store to pure DIY marketplace
BricoBravo moved to a marketplace model in five months and grew its assortment from 15,000 to 210,000 SKUs over the same period.

Who shops here?
BricoBravo shoppers are Italian consumers working on home, garden and renovation projects, from first-time DIYers to experienced hobbyists. The marketplace publishes guides, tutorials and advice alongside its catalogue, so it attracts shoppers who are still planning a project as well as those ready to buy.
Free shipping on every order is a core part of the customer promise and appears across BricoBravo's own channels. Shoppers expect it, which means sellers need to factor delivery costs into their prices from day one.
DIY & Tools
Hand tools, power tools, hardware and workshop equipment.
Home & Furniture
Furniture, lighting, home accessories, heating and air conditioning.
Garden & Outdoor
Pools, gazebos, garden sheds, storage boxes and outdoor furniture.

What you need to know before applying
BricoBravo reviews each application before opening a seller account. Once approved, sellers sign a commercial agreement, send an administrative information file and register a credit card. The seller application page is the starting point.
Seller profile
Professional merchants selling to consumers. BricoBravo operates on a B2C model only and does not support sales to professionals.
Catalogue quality
Complete product data, with channel-specific settings for variations, shipping and promotions.
Customer service
The marketplace targets Italian shoppers. Product content and customer support in Italian should be ready before launch.
Logistics
Sellers ship their own orders. Since shoppers are promised free delivery, shipping costs have to be built into each offer.
Technology
Native VTEX marketplace, with a dedicated SellerHub back office for catalogue and order management.
Fees
A commission on sales plus a monthly subscription. Marketplace agency WeSell reports a 13 to 15% commission and €39 per month.
