Carrefour Marketplace gives professional sellers access to one of France’s most recognised retail ecosystems. Built around a strong grocery and general retail brand, the marketplace helps sellers reach shoppers looking for everyday products, household goods, home equipment, electronics, garden products and other consumer categories.
The marketplace is especially relevant for brands and retailers that can complement Carrefour’s existing assortment with high-quality products, competitive prices and reliable delivery. Carrefour evaluates sellers based on professional status, catalogue relevance, product quality and the ability to meet customer expectations.
Through Lengow, sellers can prepare and distribute their product catalogue to Carrefour, connect their Mirakl account, map categories and attributes, synchronise offers and manage marketplace operations from a centralised platform.

Marketplace positioning
Who shops here?
Carrefour attracts French and Spanish shoppers who already trust the retailer for everyday purchases and broader household needs. The audience includes families, grocery buyers, home and garden shoppers, price-conscious consumers and customers looking for reliable retail service.
Because Carrefour combines grocery trust with broader marketplace assortment, sellers should focus on product clarity, competitive pricing, stock reliability and delivery coverage across mainland France and Spain.
The marketplace is particularly relevant for brands that can offer complementary products, meaning items that strengthen Carrefour’s existing online assortment without simply duplicating the retailer’s own direct offers.
Food & groceries
Food, beverages, pantry products, world food, household essentials and repeat-purchase consumer goods.
Home, garden & DIY
Home equipment, garden products, DIY goods, storage, decoration and home improvement items.
Electronics & appliances
Consumer electronics, small appliances, everyday tech products, accessories and household devices.
Fashion, beauty & culture
Apparel, accessories, health and beauty products, cultural goods, entertainment and family-oriented products.
