Joom is a mobile-first cross-border marketplace built around affordable products, international discovery and broad consumer categories. Created in 2016, the marketplace is especially strong in fashion, accessories, health and beauty, baby and kids, home and kitchen, electronics, sport and everyday lifestyle products.
The marketplace is especially relevant for brands and retailers looking to clear overstock, grow sales quickly and test cross-border demand through a value-led marketplace. Joom’s mobile-first buying journey, automatic translation and international payment experience can help sellers reach shoppers beyond their domestic market.
Through Lengow, sellers can prepare their Joom catalogue, improve product titles and descriptions, map categories and attributes, set up rules and exclusions, synchronise stock, retrieve marketplace orders and centralise marketplace operations from one platform.

Marketplace positioning
Who shops here?
Joom attracts international shoppers looking for affordable products, mobile discovery, broad choice and everyday deals. The audience includes fashion shoppers, beauty buyers, home and kitchen customers, parents, gift buyers, electronics shoppers and consumers browsing for impulse-friendly products.
The marketplace is particularly relevant for sellers with compact, easy-to-ship products, clear product identifiers, competitive prices, strong visual assets and enough margin to support cross-border marketplace economics.
Because Joom is mobile-first and value-led, successful sellers should prioritise concise titles, compelling visuals, clean product data, accurate delivery promises and catalogue segmentation by price, category and country.

Apparel, footwear, luggage, jewellery, fashion accessories, seasonal ranges and value-led apparel catalogues.
Health, Beauty & Baby
Beauty, personal care, wellness, baby products, kids products, small accessories and everyday lifestyle ranges.

Sport, Auto & Lifestyle
