Exclusive: Boots shelves launch of marketplace
Boots has shelved plans to launch its own marketplace, Retail Week can reveal.
The UK’s largest health and beauty retailer had previously announced it would be launching a marketplace in spring 2023 as part of its digital transformation post-pandemic, hailing it as an opportunity for third-party brands of any size to list their products on Boots.com.
However, Retail Week has learned that Boots has parked the idea of launching a separate marketplace and instead has rolled it into other ongoing initiatives, such as its dropship programme, which allows third-party brands to directly deliver to customers.
