Top Marketplaces in Ukraine 2026: A Complete Guide for International Brands

Updated: April 2026 · Reading time: 12 min

Ukraine’s e-commerce market exceeded $8 billion (200+ billion UAH) in 2025 and continues growing 20-25% annually. For international brands looking to enter this market, local marketplaces offer the fastest path to Ukrainian consumers — without building your own website or local marketing team.

This guide covers the 7 most important Ukrainian marketplaces, their commission structures (verified April 2026), entry requirements, and — crucially — how to handle logistics without establishing a local entity. MTP Group acts as your full-service local partner: warehousing, fulfillment, marketplace integration, payment collection, and returns processing.

Why Sell on Ukrainian Marketplaces?

Ukraine offers a unique combination: large consumer base (44 million people), high smartphone penetration, rapidly growing e-commerce, and significantly lower fulfillment costs compared to EU countries. A typical fulfillment operation in Ukraine costs roughly 50% less than equivalent services in Poland or Germany.

Ukrainian consumers are price-sensitive but brand-loyal. Once they find a quality product at a fair price, repeat purchases are common. Cash-on-delivery (COD) remains the dominant payment method (~60% of orders), which means your fulfillment partner must handle payment collection — something MTP Group does automatically through our “Sheriff of Payments” system with real-time Telegram notifications for every incoming payment.

The competitive landscape is less saturated than in Western Europe or the US. Many product categories have room for quality brands. Ukrainian consumers actively search for alternatives to Russian products (since 2022), creating opportunities for European, American, and Asian brands.

Why now is the right time

The Ukrainian e-commerce market has been growing even during the ongoing war — consumers have shifted from offline to online shopping. Many Russian brands have exited the market, creating category gaps. Local marketplaces are actively seeking international sellers to fill these gaps. And fulfillment costs in Ukraine are among the lowest in Europe, allowing you to test the market with minimal risk.

The Big 7: Ukrainian Marketplaces

1. Rozetka — Ukraine’s Amazon

30+ million monthly visits. The dominant marketplace covering all categories. Commission 5-27% (average 15%). Platform fee 120 UAH/month (~$2.70). Supports both FBO (Rozetka warehouses) and FBS (seller ships) models.

For international brands: Rozetka requires a Ukrainian legal entity (FOP or LLC) for registration. MTP Group can assist with the setup process. Once registered, product listing is done via API or XML feed — we handle the logistics side completely.

2. Prom.ua — Lowest Commission

The second-largest marketplace with 100,000+ active sellers. Commission from just 2.1% (Economy mode) to 4.2% (standard). Annual packages from 6,700 UAH (~$152) for 1,000 products. No FBO — seller handles logistics (or uses 3PL like MTP Group). Prom creates a full storefront for your brand with its own URL on their platform.

For international brands: Prom offers the lowest commission among major Ukrainian marketplaces. At 2-4% vs Rozetka’s 15%, the margin difference per order is significant — approximately $1.50 more profit per order on a $12 product. Prom also integrates with Google Shopping, giving your products additional visibility in search results. The downside: less traffic than Rozetka, so you may need to invest in advertising.

3. Kasta — Fashion & Lifestyle

Ukraine’s #1 fashion marketplace with daily flash sales. Commission 3-20% depending on category and price point + 20 UAH (~$0.45)/unit for delivery and returns. No monthly fee — you pay only for actual sales. Payouts arrive the next business day (within 3 days max). New investors (DCH Group) joined in 2025, accelerating platform growth.

For international brands: Kasta is the go-to platform for clothing, shoes, accessories, and beauty products. The flash-sale model drives massive volume during seasonal peaks (Black Friday can bring 5-10x normal orders). However, fashion has 30-40% return rates — your fulfillment partner must handle returns efficiently. MTP Group processes returns within 24 hours: inspection, repackaging, back on shelf.

Important: Kasta requires guaranteed deposit of ~1,000 UAH (~$23) to start. This is your balance for commissions. Once you receive orders and pay commissions from this balance — you’re already earning live revenue. It’s one of the cheapest entry points for serious marketplace selling.

4. Allo — Electronics & Tech

10+ million monthly visits. Allo is Ukraine’s leading electronics marketplace, backed by a retail chain of 300+ physical stores. Commission 5-12% depending on category. The key advantage is omnichannel: buyers can order online and pick up at the nearest Allo store for free. This significantly reduces delivery costs and return rates for electronics.

For international brands: If you sell consumer electronics, smartphones, accessories, or home appliances, Allo gives you access to a tech-savvy audience. The 5-12% commission is competitive for electronics. However, you’ll compete with Allo’s own retail inventory.

5. Epicentr — Home & Construction

One of Ukraine’s largest retailers with 8+ million monthly visitors. Commission 5-25% using a CPS (Cost Per Sale) model — you only pay for completed orders. If a buyer cancels, the commission is automatically refunded to your balance after 14 days. First deposit 1,100 UAH (~$25) which serves as your starting commission balance. Annual platform fee just 100 UAH (~$2.30). Strong in construction materials, furniture, garden supplies, home goods, and tools.

For international brands: Epicentr is the place for home improvement, DIY, garden, and furniture brands. The CPS model minimizes risk — you only pay when you actually sell. Registration is fully online at epicentrk.ua/seller.

6. MAKEUP — Beauty & Cosmetics

Premium beauty marketplace. Commission 10-20%. Only authentic products with certificates. FEFO (First Expired, First Out) control required. Highly engaged female audience 18-45.

For beauty brands: MTP Group provides FEFO-compliant storage for cosmetics and supplements. Our client Elemis has worked with us for 7+ years without a single storage complaint.

7. OLX — Free Start

15+ million monthly visitors. Ukraine’s most popular classifieds platform. C2C format, but thousands of businesses use it for sales. Free basic listings (category limits apply), paid promotion from 40 UAH (~$0.90). OLX Delivery through Nova Poshta provides buyer protection (payment is held until delivery confirmed).

For international brands: OLX is the perfect testing ground. Zero investment to start — no registration fees, no monthly payments, no FOP needed for initial testing. Post a few products, see if there’s demand. Once you validate the market, scale to Rozetka or Prom for professional selling. Think of OLX as your Ukrainian market research tool — free and instant.

International marketplaces accessible from Ukraine

If you’re already selling internationally and want to add Ukraine as a market, or if you’re a Ukrainian brand expanding globally, consider these platforms:

• Amazon (amazon.de, amazon.com): Commission 8-15% + $39.99/month. FBA available. MTP Group can prepare and ship pallets to Amazon EU warehouses from our facility near Kyiv.
• Etsy: 6.5% + $0.20/listing. Perfect for Ukrainian handmade brands (vyshyvankas, ceramics, jewelry). Strong international demand for Ukrainian crafts since 2022.
• eBay: 10-15%. 135+ million global buyers. Good for electronics, collectibles, and niche products.

Understanding Ukrainian Consumer Behavior

Before entering the Ukrainian market, understand how local consumers shop:

• Cash-on-delivery (COD) dominates: ~60% of online orders are paid upon delivery. This means your fulfillment partner must handle payment collection and reconciliation. MTP Group does this automatically through our “Sheriff of Payments” system.
• Nova Poshta is king: 10,000+ pickup locations. Most Ukrainians prefer picking up parcels at Nova Poshta offices rather than home delivery. Next-day delivery to Kyiv, 1-2 days nationwide.
• Price sensitivity: Average order value is $25-40. Consumers compare prices across platforms. Competitive pricing is essential.
• Mobile-first: 65%+ of online purchases happen on smartphones. Your product listings must be mobile-optimized.
• Seasonal peaks: Black Friday (November), New Year (December), March 8 (International Women’s Day), and back-to-school (August-September) are the biggest shopping events. Prepare inventory 2-3 months in advance.
• Trust matters: Ukrainians trust established marketplaces (Rozetka especially) more than unknown brands. Starting on a marketplace gives you instant credibility.
• Anti-Russian sentiment: Since 2022, Ukrainian consumers actively avoid Russian brands and seek alternatives. This creates opportunities for European and American brands in categories like cosmetics, clothing, electronics, and software.
