The Buy Box

The Buy Box

When several partners offer the same product, one of the partners is featured in the buying block. That's because this partner has the best offer in terms of price, delivery time and service. Most sales are made through the Buy Box. So it is essential to win this. A common tactic to always win the Buy Box is to set up your own brand with unique EANs. If you are the only provider of a product, you will always win the Buy Box.

Seller Rating

Seller Rating

Your ability to get a high score on the 'service' aspect (named in the Buy Box section) depends entirely on your Seller Rating. Your Seller Rating is determined based on how well you meet Leroy Merlin terms of service. Below this block you can find some of the conditions Leroy Merlin will measure.

The costs & conditions

Leroy Merlin charges a fixed monthly fee. In addition, they charge a commission based on the product category in which you sell. As a seller, you can expect a payout every 10 days. The terms and conditions for selling on the Leroy Merlin marketplace can be found here.

Leroy Merlin has drawn up standard requirements – both commercial and operational – that you must meet as a seller. As a seller, for example, you must adhere to a delivery reliability of 98% and you must also submit a physically enclosed return form for free return.
