Dropshipping on Allegro in 2026: Complete Guide

Yes, you can dropship on Allegro in 2026: you sell on a business Allegro account and a wholesaler ships each order straight to the customer. Allegro reaches buyers in Poland, Czechia, Slovakia and Hungary. This guide covers requirements, set-up, costs, delivery pricing, KSeF invoices, returns and competition. GAPLI is a Polish full-dropshipping platform that runs the operational side; GAPLI figures are as of 8 Oct 2026.

Key takeaways

Dropshipping on Allegro requires a registered business and a business Allegro account; you hold no stock, and the wholesaler ships to the customer.
In Q2 2026 Allegro reported 15.6m active buyers in Poland and 5.3m on allegro.cz, allegro.sk and allegro.hu combined.
With GAPLI, opening an account and the Start plan are free (1 store, 1,000 products per store); paid plans cost 9.99–99.99 USD a month.
You pay for an order only after the customer has paid, from the Fulfilment Pool, with the amount after the Allegro commission; you keep 70% of the order profit.
GAPLI eCommerce PSA issues the customer invoice in KSeF after delivery; you invoice only your commission, once a month.
As of 8 Oct 2026 the GAPLI catalogue had 980,891 products available for sale from 161 active partner wholesalers.

Can you dropship on Allegro in 2026?

Yes. Dropshipping on Allegro is ordinary distance selling: the buyer orders on your Allegro account, and a wholesaler packs and ships the parcel directly to them. You hold no stock and buy nothing in advance. The same consumer rules apply as to any online shop, including the 14-day return right counted from delivery.

GAPLI is a Polish full-dropshipping platform: the seller connects an Allegro, Erli or Aderlo account or a WooCommerce or Shopify store, and GAPLI supplies products from partner wholesalers, forwards orders, tracks parcels, issues customer invoices and settles the money. "Full" means that, besides shipping, GAPLI takes over listing, syncing prices and stock, fetching orders and invoicing.

Who does what in one order:

Party	Responsible for
You, the seller	The Allegro account, choosing products, keeping money in the Fulfilment Pool, invoicing your commission
Wholesaler	Holding stock, packing and shipping to the customer, providing the tracking number
GAPLI	Catalogue, listings, price and stock sync, orders, tracking, customer invoices, returns, commission

One point is easy to miss: for the duration of the cooperation, an account connected to GAPLI sells GAPLI's goods. GAPLI is the seller towards the customer, and you act as an intermediary earning commission on each sale. The full split of responsibilities is on How GAPLI works.

How big is Allegro and which countries can you reach?

Allegro, which calls itself Poland's most popular marketplace, now also sells on allegro.cz, allegro.sk and allegro.hu. In Q2 2026 it reported 15.6m active buyers in Poland, 20.9m across the group and 5.3m on its three international marketplaces, with Polish GMV up 12.0% year on year.

Key figures from Allegro's Q2 2026 results (investor presentation, 17 Sep 2026):

Metric (Q2 2026)	Value
Active buyers, Poland	15.6m (+3.1% year on year)
Active buyers, group	20.9m
Active buyers on allegro.cz, allegro.sk, allegro.hu	5.3m
GMV, Polish operations	PLN 18,514m (+12.0% year on year)
GMV growth of the international marketplaces	85% year on year

Allegro opened its first international marketplace in Q2 2023, according to the same presentation. Through Allegro, GAPLI sells to Poland, Czechia, Slovakia and Hungary. Offers listed on Polish Allegro can also appear on the three foreign sites, with prices converted at the NBP rate, and cross-border selling can be switched off per account (GAPLI glossary: cross-border sales).

What do you need to start dropshipping on Allegro?

You need a registered business, a business Allegro account with company data (tax number) and two-step verification switched on, an account in GAPLI with a store, and money in the Fulfilment Pool before the first order. For Allegro alone a virtual store is enough, so no domain or hosting is needed.

Requirement	Why
Registered business	Marketplaces require business accounts, and GAPLI's seller agreement for marketplaces requires a business
Business Allegro account with a tax number	After authorisation GAPLI checks that Allegro returns a tax number; without it the account waits
Verified, unblocked account	A blocked account cannot list offers
Two-step verification on Allegro	Without it authorisation is sometimes rejected
A store in GAPLI	The Allegro account is attached to it; a virtual store is enough
Funds in the Fulfilment Pool	The Pool pays for each order once the buyer has paid on Allegro

No business? Then you cannot sell on Allegro, but you can run an online store in the GAPLI partner programme, in which GAPLI reports your commission on a PIT-11 tax form. Details are in the FAQ.

How do you connect an Allegro account and list the first products?

You connect Allegro through its official OAuth authorisation, so GAPLI never sees your password. Create a GAPLI account and a virtual store, click "Connect Allegro account", log in to Allegro and approve access. GAPLI then sets up the account. The first offers usually go live the same day.

Create a GAPLI account and add a store. In Stores choose "Add store" and pick the virtual engine for Allegro alone.
Connect Allegro. In the Allegro module click "Connect Allegro account", choose the store and continue to Allegro.
Approve access. Log in to Allegro and approve the GAPLI app.
Let GAPLI configure the account. It creates return, complaint and warranty terms and assigns the global shipping rate tables.
Fund the Pool and send products. Top up the Fulfilment Pool, pick products in the catalogue and send them to Allegro.

What to list first: products with an EAN, in stock, in categories you understand. GAPLI matches offers to Allegro product cards by EAN and skips products without one, and it does not list phrases or categories Allegro blocks, or sanctioned goods. Allegro also caps the number of active offers per account. The full sync table is on the Allegro integration page.

How does an Allegro dropshipping order flow from purchase to payout?

The customer pays on Allegro, GAPLI fetches the order and the Fulfilment Pool pays for it with the amount after the Allegro commission. GAPLI forwards the order to the wholesaler, which ships it and returns a tracking number. After delivery GAPLI issues the KSeF invoice, and after the 14-day protection period your commission can be paid out.

The customer buys on your Allegro account and pays.
GAPLI imports the paid order automatically, every 15 minutes by default.
The Fulfilment Pool pays for the order. If Allegro has not reported its commission yet, the Pool takes the full amount and returns the difference once the commission is known, usually within 2–3 days, occasionally up to 3 weeks.
GAPLI forwards the order to the wholesaler holding the goods.
The wholesaler ships the parcel; the tracking number is added to the Allegro order.
After delivery GAPLI issues the invoice in KSeF and attaches its PDF to the Allegro order.
Your commission waits in the e-Wallet for the 14-day customer protection period, then becomes available for payout to your verified bank account.

If the Pool is empty, the order waits and is not sent to the wholesaler. Top it up and the order is paid automatically. The Pool is topped up by bank transfer, from 50 to 50,000 in the market currency per transfer.

What does dropshipping on Allegro cost in 2026?

With GAPLI, opening an account and the Start plan cost nothing; the Start plan includes 1 store with 1,000 products. Paid plans, needed for more stores, cost 9.99–99.99 USD a month, and higher product limits are separate packages. On every order Allegro deducts its commission, and the order profit is split 70% for you and 30% for GAPLI.

The cost components:

Cost	How it works
GAPLI plan	Start 0 USD (1 store); paid plans 9.99–99.99 USD/month; billed in USD via Stripe by GAPLI GLOBAL LTD
Product limit	1,000 per store free; packages 2.99–159.99 USD/month raise it up to 200,000 per store
Allegro commission	Depends on the category and sometimes the price (Allegro fees); calculated on the product price together with buyer-paid delivery (how Allegro calculates commission)
GAPLI share	30% of the order profit

Order profit is the net sale price minus the wholesale cost, operating costs and the marketplace commission. You do not pay the Allegro commission from your own pocket: Allegro deducts it from your payout, and you pass on to GAPLI the amount after that deduction. Over the last 90 days the commission paid out to sellers (Part 2) averaged 9.9% of the amount paid by customers on Allegro, across 2,876 orders. This is an average across all sellers, not a promise (GAPLI database, as of 8 Oct 2026).

A worked example of one PLN 200 order is on the pricing page. If a transaction falls through, the Allegro commission can be claimed back; we explain how in our Allegro commission recovery guide.

How should you handle delivery pricing on Allegro?

Every Allegro offer needs a shipping rate table, and since 22 July 2026 every table must declare its type and dispatch country. Tables that sellers did not convert were converted by Allegro automatically. At GAPLI delivery pricing is set globally and sent to all connected accounts, so you do not maintain tables yourself.

Three things worth knowing as a seller:

Delivery price feeds the commission. Allegro calculates commission on the price including buyer-paid delivery.
Handling time is part of the offer. It is the time between payment and handing the parcel to the carrier. In dropshipping it depends on the wholesaler, which is why GAPLI syncs it to offers automatically.
Tables managed by Allegro are read-only. Shipping rate tables Allegro manages itself under Smart! cannot be edited by any integration.

What exactly changed in 2026, how pre-made and custom tables differ and how to audit several accounts is covered in our guide to Allegro delivery pricing templates.

Who issues invoices, and how does KSeF affect Allegro dropshipping?

You do not invoice customers. GAPLI eCommerce PSA issues the customer invoice in KSeF, Poland's national e-invoicing system, once delivery is confirmed, and attaches it to the Allegro order. You issue one invoice a month for your commission. Plan invoices come from the platform owner, GAPLI GLOBAL LTD.

KSeF became mandatory in stages: from 1 February 2026 for the largest companies, from 1 April 2026 for other businesses, and from 1 January 2027 for the smallest ones with monthly sales up to PLN 10,000 (KSeF implementation stages, Ministry of Finance). For a seller working with GAPLI, the customer-facing invoices are therefore GAPLI's responsibility. Your monthly commission invoice follows your own KSeF obligations, depending on the size of your business.

How do returns work in Allegro dropshipping?

The customer can return the goods within 14 days of delivery: they report the return on Allegro and send the parcel to the return address in the offer. The refund goes through the marketplace and the commission on returned items is cancelled. Returned goods go to GAPLI's Virtual Warehouse and are put back on sale.

The legal frame comes from consumer law: the 14 days run from the moment the consumer receives the goods (UOKiK — deadlines), and the trader must refund the payments no later than 14 days after receiving the consumer's statement, but may wait until the goods are back or proof of dispatch is shown (UOKiK — effects).

What it means for your money in GAPLI:

If the refund is paid from your Allegro account, the Fulfilment Pool gives back the amount it took for the returned items.
Until the returned goods are resold or sent back to the wholesaler, their wholesale cost is frozen in your e-Wallet.
Every seller can sell returned goods, so the hold is often released before your own buyer would have been found.

How do Temu and Amazon change the competition on Allegro?

Both compete for Polish buyers, but on different terms. Amazon has run amazon.pl since March 2021. Low-cost platforms shipping from outside the EU face more regulation: the EU fined Temu €200m under the Digital Services Act in May 2026, and from 1 July 2026 a €3 duty applies to low-value parcels imported into the EU.

The verified facts behind this:

Fact	Source
Amazon launched amazon.pl in Poland on 2 March 2021	Amazon press release
On 28 May 2026 the European Commission fined Temu €200m for failing to assess the risk of illegal products on its marketplace	European Commission
From 1 July 2026 a flat €3 customs duty applies to parcels worth up to €150 imported into the EU, per tariff item, until 1 July 2028	Council of the EU, European Commission guidance
Allegro's Polish GMV grew 12.0% year on year in Q2 2026	Allegro Q2 2026 presentation

For a dropshipper on Allegro the practical conclusion is narrow. The €3 duty applies to goods imported from outside the EU, not to goods shipped to the customer from a warehouse inside the EU, such as a Polish wholesaler's. Competing on the lowest price against platforms shipping from Asia is rarely winnable; fast domestic delivery, a correct handling time and accurate stock are what you can control. More on customs is in our EU customs reform guide.

Should you sell beyond Allegro?

It can make sense once your Allegro account runs smoothly. With GAPLI the same catalogue can feed Erli, Aderlo, WooCommerce and Shopify, all live and included in every plan. eMAG, Empik, TikTok Shop and eBay are in beta, with access not yet open to everyone. Remember that the product limit applies per store.

Channel	Status at GAPLI (8 Oct 2026)	Countries
Allegro	Live	Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary
Erli	Live	Poland
Aderlo	Live	Poland
WooCommerce, Shopify	Live	Your own store
eMAG	Beta	Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary
Empik	Beta	Poland
TikTok Shop	Beta	Poland, United Kingdom
eBay	Beta (not yet for Polish-market sellers)	United Kingdom, Germany

All channels and their scope are listed on the integrations page.

Frequently asked questions

Is dropshipping on Allegro legal?

Yes. It is distance selling under the same consumer rules as any online shop, including the 14-day return right from delivery. With GAPLI the customer invoice and returns are handled by the platform, while you run the Allegro account.

Do I need my own money to start?

Not for the plan, because the Start plan is free and needs no payment card. You do need money in the Fulfilment Pool, because the buyer's payment first lands in your Allegro account and you pay for the order from the Pool. How much depends on the prices of the products you list.

How quickly can my first offers go live?

Usually the same day you connect the account. The most common blockers are an Allegro account without a tax number, two-step verification switched off, an empty Fulfilment Pool and products without an EAN.

When can I take out my commission?

After the order is marked "Fulfilled" and the 14-day customer protection period has passed. Released commission first fills the security buffer (500 PLN per store and 200 PLN per marketplace account on the Polish market), and the rest becomes available for payout to a bank account verified once with a PLN 1 transfer.

Can I sell on allegro.cz, allegro.sk and allegro.hu without extra work?

Through GAPLI, offers from a Polish Allegro account can also appear on the Czech, Slovak and Hungarian sites, with prices converted at the NBP rate. Cross-border selling can be switched off per account.
