Allegro is broadening its footprint by venturing into the Czech and Slovak markets, introducing exciting opportunities for e-commerce sellers already prospering on its Polish platform. This expansion is not just an avenue to boost sales but also a strategy to stay competitive by monitoring regional market dynamics and adapting to cross-border consumer behaviors.

The entry into Slovakia opens the door to nearly 5.5 million potential new customers, with 77% of them having experience purchasing from international e-commerce sites. The Czech Republic presents an even larger opportunity, doubling the customer base and featuring one of the fastest-growing e-commerce sectors in Central and Eastern Europe. The spending habits in the Czech market are promising, with an average e-commerce expenditure of 2,843 CZK (approximately 540 PLN).

Despite the new geographic horizons, Polish sellers can continue to manage their operations through a familiar Polish-language interface on Allegro.cz and Allegro.sk. The platforms facilitate easy preparation and management of sales offers, with built-in tools to help with currency conversion, translation of offers, and customer communication. This seamless integration means sellers can list their products once and sell across multiple markets without the hassle.

Furthermore, Allegro supports cross-border trade by collaborating with local service providers and well-known courier companies to streamline the shipping process to these new markets. This expansion is set to significantly enhance Allegro’s presence and influence in the Central and Eastern European e-commerce landscape.
