Decathlon is one of the world’s most recognised sports retailers and a fast-scaling specialist marketplace for sports, outdoor, wellness and fitness products. Its marketplace gives sellers access to an active audience looking for quality, performance, reliability and products that support everyday sport participation.
The marketplace is especially relevant for brands and retailers looking to grow across Europe and selected APAC markets through a trusted sports ecosystem. Decathlon is well suited to sellers in sports equipment, outdoor gear, fitness, wellness, cycling, running, hiking, sport apparel and circular sports products.
Through Lengow, sellers can prepare their Decathlon catalogue, manage multi-country product distribution, map marketplace categories and attributes, synchronise stock and prices, manage orders and track performance from a centralised platform connected to Decathlon’s marketplace setup.
