Services
What we take over.
You own the brand and the stock. K6 sells it through its own marketplace accounts and runs the daily work, under a plan you approve.
The agency model
You keep the brand. We do the work.
Your stock ships to our warehouse in Rotterdam and stays your property at all times; K6 never buys it. We sell it for you, pass the marketplace and third-party costs on one to one, and pay the net amount out to you twice a month.
We run the listings and the advertising within the budget you cap, set prices inside the limits you approve, manage the stock, handle customer service and returns, and file the VAT returns. Marketplace tickets are our problem, not yours. Before anything ships we agree the plan: products, markets, costs and who is responsible for what.
| Stock | Ships to K6 in Rotterdam and stays yours. K6 never buys it. |
|---|---|
| Accounts | K6 sells through its own — no logins on your desk. |
| Marketplace tickets | Our problem, not yours. |
| Payout | The net amount, twice a month, with a monthly statement. |
The commercial model
How K6 earns.
- No retainers
- No hourly billing
- No setup fees
No retainers, no hourly billing, no setup fees. K6 earns a percentage of net sales (sales excluding VAT and returns), so if your products do not sell, we do not earn. Marketplace and third-party costs are passed on one to one, without markup.
Your percentage is in the Brand Review and in the plan we agree in writing before anything ships, with the fixed first term and what happens to stock, listings and open orders if the partnership ends. Listing content, A+ content and a brand store are optional one-off services; that content stays yours. You see sales, costs and stock live, get a specified statement every month, and may audit the settlement.
Governance and exit
The questions careful brands ask.
Handing Europe to one partner is a control decision. These are the four questions every serious brand owner asks in diligence, and our standing answers.
-
Who sets the price?
Prices move every day. The limits they move within do not. The plan records the pricing rules per marketplace, so you can see what changed, why, and what comes next.
-
Who controls the brand?
You do. The plan covers how the brand appears and where, and what is said about the partnership. Nothing about the partnership itself is published without your permission.
-
Whose stock is it?
Yours, at all times. It ships to our warehouse in Rotterdam and from there to the marketplaces' fulfilment centres. K6 plans the shipments, replenishes and reports what is where. K6 never buys your stock: we sell it for you and pay the net amount out to you twice a month.
-
What if we stop?
The end of a partnership is written into the plan, not negotiated on the way out. What happens to remaining stock, to live listings and to open orders is agreed before anything goes live.
The other two ways
Two other ways to work with us.
Nearly every K6 partnership runs as the agency model above. Two other routes exist: one for a supplier with stock to sell, one for a team that runs its own accounts.
-
Selected wholesale
For a supplier or wholesaler with a clear product list and reliable supply.
K6 reviews the products and may buy selected inventory outright. After that we sell it through our own accounts, and no marketplace work stays with you.
-
Consultancy
For a team that runs its own marketplace accounts and wants advice.
Your accounts and your logins, always. K6 tells you what we would do, using the same questions we answer for our own brands. Your stock stays in your own operation.
