Shöpping is expanding into Germany in Q4 2024. This move will allow Austrian retailers to reach German customers and attract EU merchants. This expansion aims to meet the increasing demand for Austrian products in Germany.
Shöpping, Austrian Post's online marketplace, is set to expand into Germany in Q4 2024. This move allows Austrian retailers to sell to German customers. Robert Hadzetovic, Managing Director of shöpping, said, "With our expansion into Germany, we kill two birds with one stone. Our domestic retailers can increase their sales area tenfold and significantly boost their sales. Since we have also been experiencing an increasing demand for Austrian products from German customers for some time, we can use this step to make our online marketplace accessible to a wider audience."
Shöpping's expansion will give German shoppers access to various products, including electronics, fashion, regional food and delicacies, over 6,000 wines, homewares, and beauty products. The marketplace aims to offer a user-friendly interface, fast delivery times, and excellent customer service, positioning itself as a trusted partner for online purchases from Austria. This expansion is expected to significantly boost sales for Austrian retailers by increasing their market reach.
Since last year, shöpping has allowed selected international suppliers from the EU to offer their products on its platform. This initiative has diversified the product assortment, providing shoppers with more choices. By expanding into Germany, shöpping aims to attract even more EU merchants who want to reach both Austrian and German markets. This strategic move helps shöpping grow its merchant base and enhance the shopping experience for customers.
In addition to expanding its market reach, shöpping is constantly improving its data interfaces to provide merchants with faster and easier options for data connection. Since May 2024, shöpping has introduced two new interfaces to the cloud-based multi-channel tools Tradebyte and ChannelPilot. These enhancements aim to streamline the process for merchants, making it easier to manage their product listings and sales on the shöpping platform.
