How Farfetch Works: Its Marketplace and Revenue Model

Farfetch is a luxury shopping marketplace connecting customers with brands and partner boutiques. It is not simply one department store holding every item in a single inventory pool. How shopping and pricing work According to Farfetch’s customer FAQs, prices are set by its brand and boutique partners.

The same item can therefore have different prices depending on the seller and the customer’s destination. Orders from multiple partners can arrive separately. For shoppers, the practical check is the total price for their delivery location, alongside product condition, delivery estimates and applicable return terms.

A listing saved earlier is not a reservation of its price. How the marketplace makes money A marketplace monetizes the connection between sellers and buyers through commercial arrangements such as transaction commissions and services.

This should not be confused with owning every product or earning the entire selling price as revenue. This guide does not claim a universal current commission rate for Farfetch partners. What changed after the original article?…
