Variable commissions on Conforama's marketplace

Conforama's marketplace charges commissions that vary according to the different product categories and services offered. On average, these commission rates vary between 8% and 15%. Certain product categories are subject to special percentages due to the company's margins.

Commission rates

More concretely, here are the average commission rates applicable to the products offered:

Furniture: 12% rate,
Household appliances: average rate of 9%,
Decorative products and accessories: around 13% commission,
High-tech and electronic items (gaming products, for example): around 10% commission.

A monthly subscription fee in addition to commissions

On the Marketplace by Confo, each vendor partner pays a monthly subscription of 39.90 euros in addition to applicable commissions on sales. In practice, the monthly subscription fee varies according to partnerships and specific offers. It gives access to a wide range of functions, such as order and product management, as well as greater visibility for stores on the marketplace.

For example, a seller who achieves sales of 2,000 euros in a month will have to pay 39.90 euros plus a commission on sales, averaging 12% (i.e. 240 euros). These fees are competitive when compared with other online sales platforms. However, these fees require the seller to be able to stand out from the crowd and sell many products to gain profitability.
