For your information, as a seller on our Cdiscount marketplace platform, you are required to register in France and are liable for VAT with the French tax authorities in a number of cases, notably in the following:

  • Your activity is established in France and you send goods to French customers from France and your total annual sales exceed € 82,800 across all sales channels; or
  • Your activity is established in a country of the European Union, other than France; and the total of your annual sales shipped to customers in France exceeds € 35,000; or
  • Your activity is established outside of France, but you have stock in France and ship orders from France.

Payment in several installments (4 times) is offered to customers on the website, including Marketplace orders.
Thus, customers can choose to take advantage of the websites payment facilities for their purchases.
When a customer chooses the method of payment in several installments, the order in question includes the line “”Payment facilities””, which corresponds to the amount of the management fees collected by the website for the management of the payment. The fees applied are as followed:
– The payment facilities are the charges invoiced to the customer. These fees are paid to you at the same time as the product. Then, Cdiscount deducts them at the same time as the commission. They have no financial impact for you.
– The 4X payment fees are the fees invoiced to the seller. They are deducted from your payments at the same time as the commission and appear on the order as a second commission.

The dedicated amount is calculated on your sales flows and takes any debit risk arising either from invoicing inherent to your activity or from customer refunds as part of the after-sales service. The amount can be revised regularly with payments being transferred to your account if the amount is lowered.
