OnBuy Accelerates European Rollout With Launch Into 8 New Markets
Executive Summary

OnBuy expanded to 8 new European markets (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Czech Republic, Switzerland), bringing its total to 21 countries after reporting 152% quarterly sales growth in its first 12 markets. UK retailers get immediate access to 35M+ European shoppers with a non-competing, cashback-driven marketplace model.

Our Take

Sellers burned by Amazon Europe's complexity and margin compression have a low-friction alternative with automated tax handling — the first-mover window is open now before category saturation hits. If your Amazon EU conversion rates are stagnating, test OnBuy with your top 20 ASINs before Q4 2026.

What This Means

This fits the broader pattern of marketplace fragmentation challenging Amazon's EU dominance — sellers who diversify channels early capture demand before CPCs on new platforms inflate, reducing dependence on a single platform's fee and policy changes.

Key Takeaways

List your top 20 SKUs by EU margin in your Amazon Brand Analytics or Walmart Seller Center export — if margin is below 15% after fees, test the same listings on OnBuy where cashback drives repeat purchase instead of ad spend.

In the next 30 days, register seller interest on OnBuy and audit your cross-border tax setup — their automated tax engine removes the VAT compliance barrier that stops most sellers from scaling into Eastern Europe.

Bottom Line

OnBuy's 21-country EU network gives margin-squeezed sellers a first-mover diversification play now.

Full Coverage

UK-founded cashback marketplace OnBuy, has accelerated its European expansion, launching eight new markets across Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Czech Republic and Switzerland. The move brings OnBuy’s total European presence to 21 countries, giving UK retailers fast access to millions of additional customers.

The expansion follows strong results from OnBuy’s first 12 European markets, which have delivered 152% quarterly sales growth and a 300% increase in average monthly site visits in the second half of the year.

The performance highlights a clear shift in retailer behaviour across Europe, as brands increasingly favour marketplaces that support, rather than compete with, the businesses that sell on them.

OnBuy’s model, centred on non competition, transparent fees and instantly redeemable cashback on every purchase, has resonated strongly with both customers and sellers. The first phase of expansion saw swift adoption from returning buyers, giving retailers quick traction in new regions. Early indicators from the second wave are strong.

During beta testing, the newly launched markets delivered a 374% quarterly uplift, signalling significant appetite for a marketplace that protects retailer margins while delivering clear value to shoppers. Across Europe, retailers are looking for new ways of doing things.

They’re tired of marketplaces that compete with them, squeeze margins or move goalposts. OnBuy is proving that a different approach works, which is clearly reflected in the growth we’ve experienced. OnBuy is the only marketplace giving customers real cash rewards on every purchase.

It boosts repeat purchases, grows lifetime value and gives sellers a competitive edge from day one, which is something retailers simply don’t get anywhere else. This new phase of expansion brings us closer to a truly pan-European marketplace built on fairness, transparency and growth.

For retailers, it’s a chance to establish themselves early as we continue reshaping the ecommerce landscape. – Cas Paton, CEO and Founder, OnBuy For UK sellers, the expansion offers a fast, low risk route to profitable cross border growth at a time when customer acquisition costs across digital channels remain high.
