Six reasons to pair Conrad with e-tailize.
We know what this channel weighs
Conrad is built around technical supplies for professionals. We read your range through that lens and present your brand in terms buyers here recognise.
German technical copy without a translation project
Titles, specifications and attributes are translated and sharpened on the way in, so offers read as if a German product manager wrote them.
The attribute fields that decide it
Sales unit, content quantity, brand and identifiers are mandatory. A PIM keeps them complete per category, not per spreadsheet.
Reorders, not impulse purchases
Procurement teams come back for the same part. Availability, delivery time and clean specifications outweigh a discount.
No overselling once a second channel runs
Stock rules sit on one operating layer, so a B2B order here and a consumer order elsewhere never fight over the last piece.
The same base, 200+ marketplaces and integrations
Everything you prepare for Conrad starts the next channel. Expanding becomes a decision, not a project.

What fits Conrad
The assortment is technical and professional: components, measurement and test equipment, tools, automation, workplace and lab supplies, 3D printing. Anything used to build, maintain or equip a business fits, provided the data is complete.
What to sort out before you publish
Thin data stalls at the checks, and part of the German rules sit on your side. Confirm identifiers, attributes and registrations, then read the restricted list.
Questions sellers ask about Conrad.
What does selling on Conrad cost?
Conrad publishes two seller costs: a subscription of EUR 99 per month excluding VAT, and a commission of 5% to 15% of the net item price, also excluding VAT, depending on the product type. Shipping revenue stays outside it. Example: a EUR 200 item in a category at 10% costs EUR 20 in commission, on top of the EUR 99 for the month. e-tailize comes on top: Toolkit from €229 a month, Expansion from €349, Takeover €1,500 plus a revenue share.
Who actually buys on Conrad?
Registered business customers, over 2 million of them: purchasing officers, maintenance engineers, laboratories, schools, public services and production sites. Private consumers never see marketplace offers, which changes the listing: specifications, delivery time and packaging units decide.
What product data does Conrad expect?
Per product an article number of your own plus an EAN or manufacturer part number, the brand, the sales unit and the content quantity, with category, images and description. Legally required data such as energy labels comes along. The PIM holds those fields once, so the product stays complete downstream.
Who ships the orders and who handles returns?
You do. Sellers ship from their own warehouse in Europe and put a tracking number on every parcel. No invoice travels inside the box, because Conrad Electronic SE issues it on your behalf. Business buyers have no statutory right of return, so anything beyond that is your call.
Can I sell on Conrad from outside Germany?
Conrad sets requirements per country shop. For the German marketplace it names a registered company address and VAT registration in Germany, warehousing in Europe and a tracking number per shipment. Whether your brand gets in here, and whether it pays off, is what the free exploration call is for.
Why go through e-tailize instead of arranging it yourself?
You always sell under your own seller account. We know what this channel looks for and present your brand that way, then the software takes the rest: catalogue, translation, listing quality, stock and orders. Expansion from €349 a month, the first month paid at signing, or the Toolkit from €229 if you do it yourself.
Conrad's setup, in plain English.
e-tailize comes in three packages: you do it, we do it together, or we do it for you. Each package moves with your marketplace revenue. Conrad charges its own subscription plus commission per sale, and we walk through both first.
Free: the exploration call and the list of marketplaces that fit you. Then you pick a package. Toolkit from €229 a month: you do it. Expansion from €349 a month, the first month at signing: we do it together. Takeover €1,500 a month plus a revenue share: we do it.
