What Lowe’s Marketplace is
Chain Store Age described Lowe’s Marketplace as the first digital product marketplace in the US home-improvement industry4. Marketplace products sit among Lowe’s own range on Lowes.com, labelled “sold and shipped by a third-party seller”2.
In May 2025, Lowe’s described the range as “thousands of items”4. It covers indoor and outdoor furniture, kitchen and bath, home décor, and power and hand tools, at price points from value to premium, with plans to add new home categories3.

Who can sell on Lowe’s Marketplace
Lowe’s is clear that the marketplace is not open to everyone: “Since Lowe’s Marketplace is focused on home improvement, we’ll carefully select sellers”2. Approval is handled by Lowe’s business development1.
Sellers range from small businesses to national brands, including existing Lowe’s suppliers, and Lowe’s monitors seller performance and product ratings3. An existing Lowe’s vendor can take part if “selected to participate” and if its chosen products “aren’t duplicative with our existing assortment”2.
If you are based outside the US: Asked whether the marketplace is open to sellers shipping internationally, Lowe’s FAQ answers “No” and says its initial launch focuses on “sellers shipping domestic inventory from within the US”2.
Fees and payouts
Lowe’s does not publish its commission, any subscription or set-up fee, or its payout schedule; it sets them, so check them when you apply. Its seller documentation asks you to make sure your payout account is “connected and verified”, and links to a Lowe’s Marketplace Tax Policy and a state-by-state marketplace facilitator guide1.
Promotions are opt-in. Lowe’s says marketplace sellers “will be excluded from promotions” unless they contact their account manager2.
Your Lowe’s prices come from the same Mirakl margin rules as your other storefronts, with the fee percentage set separately for Lowe’s.
How to apply to Lowe’s Marketplace
Product data rules
Lowe’s seller documentation sets these rules1:
- Every product needs a valid, globally unique GTIN (UPC or EAN); barcodes of 8, 12, 13 and 14 digits are accepted1.
- The model number must be unique to the product and barcode, and cannot be edited once the product is created1.
- The brand must come from the “Lowe’s Master Brand List”1.
- At least 3 high-quality images, on a white background, product only, with no promotional overlays1.
- No filler phrases such as “NEW” or “Top Seller”, no all-capitals descriptions, and bullets of up to 254 characters1.
- All required attributes must be included, and reusing a SKU for a different item causes a conflict1.
If an item carries a Prop 65 warning, that attribute is required before it can be sold on Lowes.com1. Prohibited or restricted products must not be listed; the documentation points to Lowe’s Prop 65 and PFAS guidance1.
Delivery, stock and returns
ChannelX reported in May 2025 that every marketplace product was available for home delivery3. Keep your stock figures current: Lowe’s says orders may be cancelled or penalised if your quantity is out of date1.
In your seller set-up you enter your own return window and any restocking fee1. Customers can return marketplace items “to any of our more than 1,700 store locations nationwide”, Lowe’s says2.
