Register as a seller for OTTO Market in our registration document. We are currently still checking the basic requirements and capabilities of each retailer before we enable a connection to otto.de. After registration, you will receive an e-mail from us confirming whether you meet all the necessary requirements to become a seller on otto.de.

If you meet all the basic requirements, you will receive an e-mail with your login data for our partner portal OTTO Partner Connect and start the connection.

First of all, we will need your complete company profile.

After completing the company profile, you will be entering into a contract with us – completely digitally. Simply click on the link “Platform terms of use” to read the contract. The “Payment services contract” link will redirect you to the contract with Hanseatic Bank to accept customer payments on our platform.

Once you have clicked the button, you’re nearly finished and only need to configure a few settings before you can start selling.

First comes the eligibility check required for all of our marketplace partners. Some of these are verifications required by law:

• Know-Your-Customer (KYC) – verifying business data and identifying the company’s legal representative to prevent money laundering and financing terrorism (EU AML Directive)
• Retailer verification – verifying your tax ID to prevent tax losses due to online sales (BMF publication)
• Credit check

We will also need:

• Information about shipping & returns
• Payment information (B2B)
• Information about you as the merchant on otto.de

The dashboard shows the status of the eligibility check. If you passed and have filled out the other details, you can start adding your items.

To add your items to the otto.de product range, you will need to add them in OTTO Partner Connect. You can either add the items manually using the partner portal or upload all the product details to otto.de using API.
