Hungarian Marketplaces: eMAG, Alza.hu, Árukereső

Published on: 2025-06-10

Hungary's e-commerce market is growing dynamically, with marketplaces playing an increasingly central role in online sales. Hungarian consumers are shifting their product searches from Google directly to marketplace platforms, making multi-marketplace presence essential for sellers who want to capture the full breadth of online demand. Beyond domestic platforms, many Hungarian sellers also leverage Amazon.de to reach the broader German-speaking market from their Hungarian operations.

eMAG – The regional powerhouse

eMAG is one of Central and Eastern Europe's leading marketplaces, operating in Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria. In Hungary, eMAG offers a wide product range spanning electronics, home appliances, fashion, beauty, sporting goods, and more. Seller commissions range from 5% to 18% depending on the product category. The eMAG Genius subscription program gives priority visibility to compliant sellers in search results and category pages. eMAG Fulfillment allows sellers to outsource warehousing, packing, and shipping to eMAG's own logistics centers, which is particularly valuable for meeting Genius delivery speed requirements. The platform also runs major promotional events throughout the year that drive significant traffic spikes.

Alza.hu – Electronics and IT specialist

Originally a Czech electronics retailer, Alza.hu has built a strong presence in the Hungarian market. The platform excels in electronics, IT equipment, office technology, and consumer electronics, though it has been expanding into other categories. Alza offers excellent logistics solutions including the AlzaBox parcel locker network, which is growing rapidly across Hungary. Alza also sells its own private-label products and provides marketplace functionality for third-party sellers in selected categories. The platform's strong brand recognition in tech products makes it an ideal channel for electronics sellers.

Árukereső.hu – Hungary's price comparison leader

Árukereső.hu is Hungary's largest price comparison website, attracting millions of monthly visitors who are actively comparing prices before purchasing. Unlike traditional marketplaces, Árukereső operates on a cost-per-click (CPC) model where merchants pay for each click that directs a shopper to their webshop. Click costs vary by category, typically ranging from HUF 20 to 80. The Megbízható Bolt (Trusted Shop) certification program builds buyer confidence and can significantly improve click-through and conversion rates. The Árukereső TrustIndex rating system helps shoppers identify reliable merchants based on verified customer reviews.

Extreme Digital and additional platforms

Extreme Digital (Edigital) is a strong online retailer in electronics and household appliances with its own marketplace functionality for third-party sellers. Pepita.hu is a leading platform in the baby and children's products segment. For international expansion, Amazon.de serves as an important sales channel for Hungarian merchants, leveraging Hungary's geographic proximity and competitive warehouse costs. Zunapro helps merchants develop and execute effective multi-marketplace strategies, managing all platforms from a single dashboard with centralized inventory, pricing, and order management.
