What Auchan Marketplace is

Auchan E-Commerce France hosts the marketplace and acts as an intermediary, so the contract of sale is between you and the buyer1. Auchan calls its sellers “Vendeurs Partenaires” (partner sellers), and they prepare and ship their own products4.

Auchan’s seller page describes auchan.fr as one of France’s 20 most-visited websites, with more than 23 million visits a month, and cites more than 700 stores in France2. On a page updated on 9 July 2026, Auchan gives 28,132,130 average monthly active users for January to June 20261. That figure covers the whole auchan.fr site and Auchan France app, not the marketplace alone1.

ChannelX reported in September 2015 that Auchan would open a marketplace with Mirakl later that year5. In December 2016, Pierre-Alain Baly, then Auchan’s head of partnerships, told Journal du Net that Auchan chose Mirakl as the easiest platform for sellers, used directly or through a feed aggregator6.

Who can sell on Auchan Marketplace

Auchan’s page on how the marketplace works says sellers must be businesses that are legal entities (“des professionnels, personnes morales”)1. Auchan chooses them for the relevance and quality of their products and services1. Its seller page adds four conditions2:

  • You are a European professional.
  • Your customer service is responsive and of good quality.
  • You can manage customer orders efficiently.
  • You share Auchan’s values and offer quality products in line with its range.

The same page cites Auchan’s “Service client de l’année 2025” (customer service of the year) award, from a BVA-Viséo study2. Buyers must contact you first about an order and give you one working day to reply before Auchan steps in1.

If you are based outside France. Auchan’s wording leaves some questions open:

  • Auchan’s seller page is silent on whether a UK company counts as a European professional2.
  • The application asks for your registered office’s country, an intra-EU VAT number and a SIRET number, a French business identifier, without saying what to enter if you have no SIRET2.
  • The 2023 buyer terms provide for delivery to mainland France only3.
  • If a product’s manufacturer is outside the EU, the General Product Safety Regulation requires an EU-based responsible person, named with contact details on the offer7.

Fees and payments

Selling on the marketplace is paid for, and the amount is set in the Conditions Générales d’Adhésion (accession terms) that each seller signs; Auchan’s page gives no rate1. Auchan states that this fee does not influence where sellers’ offers rank1.

Visibility is handled separately. For an extra fee, an option puts your offers in the Auchan catalogue, where they are marked “Vu en catalogue” (seen in the catalogue), while taking part in Auchan’s promotional events is free1.

Auchan E-Commerce France collects customer payments for you, as an agent of HiPay, a payment institution authorised under French law1. Ask Auchan for its payout schedule when you apply.

Your Auchan prices come from the same Mirakl margin rules as your other storefronts, with the fee percentage set separately for Auchan.

How to apply

  1. Prepare your company details

    Have your company name, SIRET number, intra-EU VAT number, full registered office address and the country it is in2.

  2. Add a contact and your range

    Give a contact name, phone number and email address, the categories you offer and a link to your website2.

  3. List your other marketplaces

    Name the marketplaces you already sell on, with links to your shops there2.

  4. Send your request

    Send it as the Devenir vendeur Marketplace page directs; Auchan then selects its partner sellers21.

  5. Sign the accession terms

    Selected sellers sign the Conditions Générales d’Adhésion and provide official documents proving their identity and status1. Your fee is set in those terms1.

What you can list

The marketplace is there to complement Auchan’s own range1. As a rule you cannot list a product that Auchan sells itself, though you may offer it while Auchan is out of stock1.

Every product must meet the rules that apply to it, including safety rules, and counterfeits are not allowed1. Auchan can suspend or remove an offer that does not comply1.

Delivery, orders and returns

The marketplace buyer terms, last updated in October 2023, say that you or your carrier deliver the order3. The delivery options they list include3:

  • standard or express home delivery
  • delivery by appointment for parcels over 30 kg
  • collection from a relay point

Under the same terms, the buyer is charged only once you accept the order3. If an item has not arrived five days after its estimated delivery date, Auchan steps in1.

Returns come back to you, not to Auchan3. Buyers have 14 clear days from receipt to withdraw and pay the direct cost of sending items back, and you refund them within 14 days3. You may offer a longer period3.

Auchan’s marketplace information page also shows the site’s general “30 jours pour changer d’avis” (30 days to change your mind) line, so confirm with Auchan which period applies to your orders4.

Questions sellers ask

Does Auchan accept sellers from the UK?

Auchan asks for European professionals and does not say whether UK companies qualify2. Its application also asks for a SIRET number and an intra-EU VAT number, so ask Auchan before you apply2.

Can I list products that Auchan already sells?

Normally not, because the marketplace is meant to complement Auchan’s own range1. You may offer such a product while Auchan is out of stock1.

What commission does Auchan charge?

Auchan’s marketplace pages give no rate: the fee is set in the Conditions Générales d’Adhésion that each seller signs1. Auchan says the fee has no bearing on offer ranking1.

Who collects the customer’s payment?

Auchan E-Commerce France collects it for you, as an agent of the payment institution HiPay1. Under the 2023 buyer terms, the buyer is charged only once you accept the order3.

Can I pay for extra visibility?

Yes. For an extra fee, your offers can appear in the Auchan catalogue, marked “Vu en catalogue”, and joining Auchan’s promotional events is free1.

How quickly must I answer a buyer?

Buyers must contact you first and give you one working day to reply before Auchan steps in1.

Who handles returns of Auchan marketplace orders?

You do: returns come back to you, not to Auchan3. The 2023 buyer terms give buyers 14 clear days to withdraw, and they pay the return postage3.
