Zentrada: a unique B2B marketplace
Zentrada stands out as a marketplace dedicated specifically to professionals and resellers. The platform offers more than 420,000 product listings from 450 recognised European suppliers, making sourcing significantly easier.
Main advantages of Zentrada:
- Order consolidation: thanks to its innovative “mix order” system, Zentrada lets you combine orders from different suppliers into a single invoice and one delivery. This offers unique flexibility to small and medium-sized resellers.
- Low minimum order values: with a minimum threshold of just €250, even the smallest retailers can access attractive wholesale prices.
- Enhanced security (TradeSafe Checkout): Zentrada guarantees transaction security. Payments to suppliers are released only after customer approval, preventing any form of fraud.
An ideal solution for Amazon arbitrage
Amazon arbitrage means taking advantage of price differences between marketplaces. Zentrada is particularly popular with Amazon arbitrage sellers, as Arnaud Maton, an arbitrage expert since 2018, points out. Thanks to Zentrada, he has secured reliable sources for high-demand products such as Dove soaps and Tempo tissues. The platform not only enables efficient sourcing but also provides the documents Amazon requires (certificates, CE approvals, etc.).
