What is Farfetch and how does it work for sellers?

Farfetch is the world's leading global platform for the luxury fashion industry, connecting customers in 190+ countries with items from 1,400+ luxury sellers (boutiques and brands). Unlike traditional marketplaces, Farfetch operates on a curated partnership model—you apply to join, and once accepted, Farfetch handles the customer-facing experience while you fulfill orders from your inventory.

What are the requirements to sell on Farfetch?

Farfetch requires: Established luxury retail presence (physical boutique or authorized brand), authentic luxury inventory from recognized designer brands, ability to ship internationally, high-quality product photography meeting their standards, and technology integration capability (API or platform connection). They don't accept individual sellers or resellers—you must be an authorized retailer or brand.

What are Farfetch's commission rates?

Farfetch operates on a commission model typically ranging from 25-33% of the sale price. The exact rate depends on your partnership tier, sales volume, and whether you use their fulfillment services. While higher than Amazon/Walmart, Farfetch provides access to high-value luxury consumers willing to pay premium prices.

How does Farfetch handle fulfillment?

Farfetch offers multiple fulfillment options: Ship from Store (you ship directly to customers), Farfetch Fulfillment (send inventory to their centers), or Browns (their owned boutique network). Most boutique partners use Ship from Store, receiving orders through Farfetch's partner portal and shipping with pre-paid labels.

Can Indian brands/boutiques sell on Farfetch?

Yes, Indian luxury boutiques and designer brands can partner with Farfetch. Requirements include: established luxury retail presence, authentic designer inventory, international shipping capability, and meeting Farfetch's curation standards. Indian designers like Sabyasachi-level brands or multi-brand luxury retailers like Ensemble would be ideal candidates.

How long does Farfetch seller approval take?

Farfetch's onboarding process typically takes 2-4 months due to their rigorous vetting. Steps include: initial application review (2-4 weeks), brand/inventory verification (2-4 weeks), technical integration (2-4 weeks), and content/catalog setup (1-2 weeks). The timeline varies based on your existing infrastructure and inventory documentation.

What's the difference between Farfetch and NET-A-PORTER?

Farfetch is a marketplace connecting customers to independent boutiques and brands (platform model). NET-A-PORTER is an online retailer that buys inventory and resells it (wholesale model). On Farfetch, you retain inventory ownership and set prices. On NET-A-PORTER, they buy from you at wholesale and control retail pricing.

What technology integration does Farfetch require?

Farfetch partners need to integrate via their Partner Portal or API. Options include: direct API integration (for larger partners), Farfetch's partner management platform, or integration through supported e-commerce platforms (Shopify, Magento with Farfetch apps). You'll need to sync inventory, receive orders, and update shipment tracking.
