How much does it cost to sell on Cdiscount?

Cdiscount charges a €39.99/month subscription (excl. VAT) plus category commissions of 5–20% per sale, calculated on the price including VAT and shipping. Payment processing is included in the commission. There are no listing, setup, or per-item fees.

What are Cdiscount commission rates by category?

Per the official price list: TVs, computers and tablets 5%, smartphones 7%, large appliances and game consoles 8%, small appliances 10%, tech accessories and DIY 12%, jewelry 20%, and a standard 15% for all other categories (fashion, home, toys, books…). Used or refurbished products pay 2 points more.

Is Cdiscount commission charged on shipping costs?

Yes. Commission is calculated on the total paid by the buyer — sale price including VAT plus shipping. Factor the full order value into your margin calculation; our Cdiscount fee calculator does this automatically.

How do Cdiscount fees compare to Amazon.fr?

Both charge a similar monthly fee (€39.99 vs €39). In electronics, Cdiscount is cheaper: 5–8% versus Amazon's ~7%+ referral fees. In fashion and most other categories both sit around 15%. Cdiscount has no separate payment processing fee and lower competitive pressure, which can lead to better margins overall.

Is Octopia Fulfillment worth it?

Octopia Fulfillment (formerly Cdiscount Fulfilment) improves delivery speed and Buy Box eligibility, with storage around €15/m³/month plus preferential shipping rates. It's most worthwhile for high-volume sellers who want fast-delivery eligibility — a strong conversion lever with Cdiscount à Volonté subscribers — without managing French logistics.

Fee Overview

Cdiscount is France's leading independent marketplace, with 19 million unique visitors per month and 7 million active customers. The platform charges a monthly subscription of €39.99 excl. VAT plus category-based commissions that officially range from 5% (TVs, computers, tablets) to 20% (jewelry), with a standard 15% rate for categories not listed separately. Payment processing is included in the commission.

Two rules matter for margin math: commission is calculated on the sale price including VAT and buyer-paid shipping, and used or refurbished products pay 2 percentage points more than new products in the same category. Payouts arrive by bank transfer every 10 days on average.

For cross-border sellers targeting the French market, Cdiscount offers a large customer base at lower competitive intensity than Amazon.fr. Octopia Fulfillment (formerly Cdiscount Fulfilment) adds optional warehousing (≈€15/m³/month) and shipping services, and Cdiscount Ads provides optional CPC-based advertising.

Fee Optimization Tips

Electronics carry the lowest rates — TVs/computers/tablets 5%, smartphones 7%, large appliances and consoles 8% — well below Amazon.fr referral fees in the same categories

Commission applies to price + shipping, so pricing with cheap items and expensive shipping does not reduce your fees

The €39.99/month subscription means you need roughly €400+ in monthly sales to break even on the fixed cost alone

Selling refurbished? Budget 2 extra commission points versus the new-product rate in your category
