Six reasons to pair Galeries Lafayette with e-tailize.
A closed house decides for itself
Curated houses pick their own sellers. With Expansion we prepare and submit your application, and the house decides.
We know what this buyer wants to hear
Which brands fit the floor, which categories are open, what a buyer needs to see. Your case arrives in that language.
Live in French, without a spreadsheet
Approval turns into listings fast. Catalogue, translation, images and attributes, stock and orders run from one place, so day one already looks finished.
Fast acceptance, unwatched
The seller portal runs on Mirakl and e-tailize manages the connection. Orders land in one place and move straight to fulfilment, so the 24 hour window stays safe.
See what the channel is worth
Revenue, returns and margin per channel, so you judge a curated house on numbers, not prestige.
No guarantee, and no bluff
Nobody can promise entry to a house that decides for itself. Free: the exploration call and the list of marketplaces that fit you, each linked to its page. Expansion from €349 a month, the first month paid at signing, or the Toolkit from €229 if you do it yourself.

What fits Galeries Lafayette
The house sells fashion, beauty and living. The categories you may actually offer are fixed in your own contract, and we negotiate that scope with you before anything gets built.
What gets you rejected or suspended
Referencing can be suspended for repeated order refusals, complaints about products not matching the description, or too many returns. Exactly the failures the software prevents.
Questions sellers ask about Galeries Lafayette.
What does selling on Galeries Lafayette cost?
Two things. The seller portal costs a fixed 49 EUR excluding VAT per month, so 588 EUR a year before you sell anything. On top of that a commission on the amount the customer pays, VAT and shipping included. That percentage sits in your contract and is not published, so we print none. No setup fee. e-tailize comes on top: Toolkit from €229 a month, Expansion from €349, Takeover €1,500 plus a revenue share.
Can any seller join Galeries Lafayette?
Apply yourself, they review. Stuck? Expansion does it for you. Only referenced professional sellers under a signed partnership contract can list, selected on service quality and reliability. We make the introduction and build the case, and never promise entry to a house that decides for itself.
How fast do I have to ship?
Quickly. You accept an order within 24 hours of it reaching the portal, and items leave within 48 hours. Returns run 30 days from receipt, and repeated refusals or late shipping can suspend your referencing.
What product data does Galeries Lafayette expect?
Complete sheets: quality images, precise descriptions, correct attributes and stock that is right in real time. Products must also meet European Union rules. You build that once in the PIM and reuse it everywhere.
Can I sell on Galeries Lafayette from outside France?
Nothing in the terms limits sellers to France, and the delivery grid in your contract sets where you ship. Expect French in practice: descriptions, customer contact and returns. The software translates it and keeps the daily work in one place.
Why go through e-tailize?
Because a closed marketplace is a relationship problem before a technical one. After the yes, the software runs catalogue, translation, stock, orders and returns from one place, and the same base connects to 200+ other marketplaces and integrations.
