Launch notes: Merchants already selling on Cdiscount can activate CDON faster because catalogue data, category mapping and marketplace operations are shared through the Octopia network.
✓ One feed, multiple marketplaces
✓ Centralised order management in Lengow
CDON is one of the largest marketplace brands in the Nordics, giving merchants access to millions of consumers across Sweden, Denmark and Finland through a single marketplace connection.
Founded in 1999, CDON has evolved from an online entertainment retailer into one of the leading marketplace operators in Northern Europe. Today, the platform offers millions of products across electronics, home & garden, sports, beauty, toys, DIY and lifestyle categories.
CDON's strength lies in its regional reach. Rather than entering Nordic countries one by one, merchants can use a single marketplace presence to access consumers across Sweden, Denmark and Finland while benefiting from an established ecommerce brand recognised throughout the region.
As part of the Octopia Network available through Lengow, CDON can be activated through an existing Cdiscount connection. Sellers benefit from shared catalogue infrastructure, centralised order management and a significantly faster launch process than a standalone marketplace integration.
