✓ One feed, multiple marketplaces
✓ Centralised order management in Lengow
HobbyHall.fi is a Finnish marketplace within the PHH Group ecosystem. Through Octopia and Lengow, merchants can reach Finnish consumers using the same operational infrastructure already connected to their Cdiscount feed.
HobbyHall.fi is a Finnish ecommerce marketplace and part of PHH Group, the marketplace group behind Pigu.lt, 220.lv, Kaup24.ee and HobbyHall.fi. The platform gives sellers access to Finnish consumers across a wide range of everyday categories, from home and garden to electronics, sports, fashion and household products.
Finland is a highly digital ecommerce market where shoppers value reliable delivery, detailed product information, competitive pricing and local-language content. HobbyHall.fi gives international sellers a local marketplace entry point while benefiting from the wider PHH Group infrastructure across the Baltics and Finland.
As part of the Octopia Network available through Lengow, HobbyHall.fi can be activated through an existing Cdiscount connection. Sellers benefit from shared catalogue infrastructure, centralised order management and a faster expansion path than a standalone marketplace integration.
