Selling on the Fruugo online marketplace

Getting started on Fruugo

Fruugo is a UK company that connects buyers to products from all over the world. It launched in 23 countries in 2013. And a business-to-business (B2B) site was launched in 2015.

One of its main selling point is that it uses a single feed to give you access to multiple countries worldwide. This could be beneficial if your business is new to international e-commerce.

Fruugo’s marketplace automatically translates listings to 15 different languages, so it’s a true multimarket platform. It also removes the need to list items on numerous localised versions of a marketplace.

You don’t pay any monthly or listing fees, instead you pay Fruugo a percentage commission for each sale. Fruugo has around 1.5 million customers worldwide, but that’s growing rapidly.
