Paint, Wallpaper & Supplies E-Commerce Industry in France

In 2025, France’s Paint, Wallpaper & Supplies e-commerce market generated USD 2.48 billion in revenue. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 1.18% from 2025 to 2029.

This growth reflects rising demand for eco-friendly products and DIY home improvement. French consumers increasingly prefer sustainable paints and customizable décor.

Online platforms are reshaping how people shop for home supplies. Convenience, variety, and digital access are driving this shift in consumer behavior.

PrestaShop Advanced Multi-Vendor Marketplace

PrestaShop Advanced Multi-Vendor Marketplace offers a complete solution to transform any PrestaShop store into a robust online marketplace. It enables vendors to register easily, manage their storefronts, and start selling products with full autonomy.

Admins have flexible control over commission structures, allowing either global rates or vendor-specific settings. This ensures tailored earning models and smooth vendor relationships.

Seller profiles are customizable with logos, banners, addresses, and social links. Admins can oversee, approve, or remove sellers directly from the back office.

Product management features let vendors add standard, pack, and virtual products, apply discounts, and set personalization fields.

Order and transaction tracking is built in, giving vendors insights into sales, earnings, commissions, and pending dues. A dedicated dashboard helps sellers monitor activity across daily, weekly, and monthly views.

Customers can leave ratings and reviews, visible on the vendor’s profile and product pages. Email notifications keep sellers updated about order status, product approvals, and major actions.

Ekits adopted PrestaShop’s Multi-Vendor Marketplace to expand efficiently in France’s growing DIY paint market.

It helped Ekits meet rising consumer demand for eco-friendly, customizable paint solutions while supporting seamless management and quality oversight, making shopping smoother for everyone.
