Selling on bol.com: the complete starter guide 2026

How do you start selling on bol.com?

You open a business seller account, connect your product range, choose between shipping yourself or Fulfilment by bol (LvB), and optimise your product pages and pricing. You pay a fixed monthly fee plus a sales commission per category.

Why bol.com?

With millions of customers, bol is the largest sales platform in the Netherlands and Belgium. You benefit immediately from existing trust and search traffic — ideal for getting started quickly or expanding your reach alongside your own webshop.

The steps in brief

  • Open a business seller account (KvK and VAT required).
  • Set up your product range via a feed or an integration with your webshop.
  • Choose your logistics: ship yourself or use Fulfilment by bol (LvB) for faster delivery.
  • Optimise the titles, images and content of your product pages.
  • Win the “buy button” with a sharp price, stock and good performance.
  • Scale with Sponsored Products (advertising).

What does it cost?

Expect a fixed monthly fee for your seller account plus a commission per sold category. The exact rates vary by product group — bol publishes them in its seller terms.

Bol or your own webshop?

Both. Bol delivers fast reach; your own Webshop delivers higher margins and a direct customer relationship. The smartest strategy combines them.
