Germany’s alternative marketplace for smart merchants. Sell independently. Scale locally.
Hood.de is one of Germany’s largest independent online marketplaces, known for its low seller fees, flexibility, and wide product range — from electronics and homeware to collectibles, fashion, and industrial tools. Unlike heavily branded platforms, Hood.de offers greater seller autonomy, making it ideal for merchants seeking less competition from platform-owned products and more control over their customer relationships.
