Cdiscount commission rate
Like many marketplaces, Cdiscount's pricing is based on a monthly subscription fee and commissions on sales, calculated according to various criteria.
- A single monthly subscription: priced at €39.99 ex-VAT per month. There's no time commitment, and you can add an unlimited number of products to your catalog. You also determine your own shipping costs.

The average rate is 15% for new products. The platform offers an online simulator to calculate the cost according to the specific features of the product.
