Six reasons to pair Empik with e-tailize.
We present your brand
Your range goes next to what this channel actually sells, and the case rests on your own numbers.
Polish, written properly
Titles, descriptions and attributes go in as Polish shoppers read them. Our software translates and sharpens them.
GTIN discipline before anything ships
Every code has to pass the GS1 check, and a bad one keeps the product out of the catalogue. We validate the range first.
Store pickup is a real option
Nearly 400 Empik stores double as collection points next to lockers, DPD Pickup and courier. Orders come back through one screen.
Pick a package on evidence
A paid package only pays off at volume. The dashboard shows what Polish sales earn before you upgrade.
The same base, 200+ marketplaces
What you prepare for Empik starts the next channel. The fee follows new revenue, so we only win when you win.

Books, film and music sit at the heart of Empik, and the marketplace grew out around them into electronics, toys, home, beauty, sport and supermarket goods.

Questions sellers ask about Empik.
What does selling on Empik cost?
Holding the account and listing products is free. Empik states that costs appear once you accept an order, as commission plus a platform fee. The commission depends on the product category, and the current grid goes to sellers inside the seller portal, so no public rate is quoted here. Three optional packages sit on top: Standard at 0 PLN, PLUS at 99 PLN net per 30 days, MAX at 499 PLN net per 30 days. The e-tailize program comes separately, from EUR 249 per month.
What do the PLUS and MAX packages change?
They lower the rate on preferred sales, 0,25x the base commission on Standard against 0,15x on PLUS and 0,10x on MAX, and add shop branding and reporting. At low volume the free package wins. We work the break even point out on your real numbers.
Does every product need a GTIN?
Yes, and it has to pass the check against the GS1 database. One product card exists per code and every seller offer attaches to it, so two cards cannot share a code. Manufacturers and exclusive distributors are the exception.
Which businesses can sell there?
Empik asks for a business with active status, established in a member state of the European Union, registered for at least one month, and shipping from a European Union country. Settlement runs in PLN. Outside that picture, the free exploration call tells you where you do stand.
How do orders reach Polish shoppers, and in which language?
You ship them, through parcel lockers, DPD Pickup points, a courier, or an Empik store for collection. Shoppers keep their statutory 14 day return window. Titles and descriptions belong in Polish, since shoppers read Polish and pay in PLN.
Why go through e-tailize?
Because the connection is the easy part. The work sits around it: the case for your brand, Polish content, category attributes, valid codes, stock and orders. We handle that, and the same base opens 200+ further marketplaces afterwards.
Empik's setup, in plain English.
Empik and every other channel run on one e-tailize program. You pay along with the marketplace revenue we build together, not per product. Empik itself charges commission per category once you accept an order.
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.
