A marketplace is not just one more channel. It is an environment with its own rules: entry conditions, catalogue requirements, logistics constraints, pricing trade-offs and direct competition on the very same product page.
This hub brings together what we write on the subject: how to read a channel before committing to it, what each retailer concretely asks for, and why being everywhere is rarely the right answer.

Designing a product, turning it into a brand, protecting it, launching it and steering it: the real stages of private label on Amazon, and how an engagement actually runs.
Tech, culture, consumer universes: Fnac can be a particularly interesting channel — provided you adapt your catalogue to its environment.
Electronics, equipment, home: the Darty universe naturally appeals to many brands. Product coherence comes first.
A coherent specialised channel for electronics and equipment — but sector fit doesn't automatically guarantee sales.
Home, improvement, equipment: a specialised marketplace like Leroy Merlin gives access to a particularly coherent audience.
Joining a marketplace backed by a recognised retailer opens opportunities — provided you prepare access to this new channel.
