How do you start selling on Distriartisan?
Distriartisan chooses the professional merchants it lists beside its own stock, and its terms define a seller as a company established in metropolitan France. So it starts with the people who make that call, and with a case that holds up. That part is ours. Once the merchant account exists, we connect it and put your catalogue live in French within minutes.

Six reasons to pair Distriartisan with e-tailize.
People ordering for a site, not browsing
Roofers, plumbers and electricians buy here because the job needs it this week. That intent shows in basket size.
This kind of door is our specialty
On a trade platform the buying side decides what gets listed. We have the contacts, we know what a builders merchant weighs up, and we put your range in front of them.
Argued the way a merchant reads it
Range depth, brands, stock, lead times and after sales service. We argue in those terms, not in a brand deck.
Then the software does the rest
One catalogue feeds titles, attributes, images and prices, translated into French and improved on the way out. Stock and orders sit on one screen.
Your logistics stay yours
You hold the stock, pick the carrier and set your own rates. e-tailize plugs into the fulfilment software you already run.
Nothing waits on one channel
While we work this door, 200+ other marketplaces run off the same base, so your catalogue keeps earning.
Five steps. ~ A few minutes.

Questions sellers ask about Distriartisan.
What does selling on Distriartisan cost?
Distriartisan publishes no merchant rate card, so there is no commission or subscription figure to quote. The mechanics: you set prices including VAT and your own shipping rates, Distri Artisans collects payment on your behalf and releases it after the withdrawal period, and shop promotional codes never apply to marketplace products.
Do I need a French company to sell there?
The marketplace terms define a merchant as a professional legal entity established in metropolitan France, so your selling entity matters as much as the range. Whether your setup fits, or a French entity or partner is the sensible route, belongs in the free exploration call.
Who ships the orders and who takes the returns?
You do, on both counts. Merchants ship from their own warehouse at their own rates, so an order split across three merchants arrives in three parcels. The 14 day withdrawal right is handled by the merchant, and buyers return nothing to Distri Artisans.
How fast do I have to react to an order?
Two working days. That is the window in the terms to confirm or deny availability. Let it pass and the sale dissolves automatically and the buyer is refunded, so a live stock feed is the difference between an order and a cancellation.
Who is the seller, Distriartisan or me?
You are. Distri Artisans hosts the marketplace as intermediary, while the sales contract runs directly between you and the buyer under French law. Star ratings from buyers are not filtered, so service quality shows on your own listings.
What if Distriartisan does not take our range?
Then we keep working that door while your catalogue earns elsewhere. The free exploration call and the free scan show where you realistically get in today, and 200+ marketplaces run from the setup you build once.
Distriartisan's setup, in plain English.
Distriartisan sets its merchant commission and publishes none of it, so those numbers belong in the agreement we open the door with. On our side, one program covers every channel you run, priced on the revenue we create together.
The exploration call and the marketplace scan are both free. The program starts at €249 per month, paid at signing, and the fee follows the new marketplace revenue we create together. Cancel any month.
Then we
get you in.
Entry is not something we guarantee, and nobody honestly can. The free exploration call and the free scan set out where you realistically get in, here or on one of 200+ other marketplaces. Our fee follows the new revenue, so we only earn once you do.
