Kaufland, also known as Kaufland Global Marketplace, is a major European generalist marketplace connected to a well-established retail brand. It combines the visibility of a large online marketplace with the trust of a grocery and retail group, helping sellers reach customers across Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Austria, Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
The marketplace is especially relevant for brands and retailers looking to enter new countries, grow sales quickly and reduce dependency on Amazon. Kaufland covers a wide range of product categories, from electronics, home and garden to fashion, health, beauty, sport, auto and everyday retail products.
Through Lengow, sellers can prepare their Kaufland catalogue, structure country-level product distribution, optimise titles and attributes, synchronise stock and prices, manage marketplace orders and monitor performance from one centralised platform.

Marketplace positioning
Who shops here?
Kaufland attracts European shoppers looking for product choice, competitive prices, trusted checkout, reliable delivery and a broad category mix. Buyers may arrive for everyday retail products, electronics, DIY, home goods, groceries, fashion, sport products or household equipment.
The marketplace is particularly relevant for sellers with multi-country ambitions, structured product data, competitive pricing, reliable fulfilment and enough operational maturity to manage local requirements across several European markets.
Because Kaufland covers thousands of product categories, sellers should prioritise catalogue segmentation, country-specific content, pricing competitiveness and operational performance before scaling their assortment.
