The global pet industry has a new digital trading hub. PETADD, a B2B wholesale marketplace for pet product suppliers and retail pet shops, has officially launched in open beta at https://petadd.com. The platform offers free registration and core features, operating on a commission-only model that charges fees only when a deal is successfully completed. This contrasts with traditional wholesale platforms that impose subscription or monthly access costs, which can be prohibitive for smaller businesses.
The launch matters because the pet industry is growing rapidly worldwide, yet B2B trade in the sector remains fragmented and inefficient. A PETADD spokesperson noted that the company built the platform to fix that, describing it as a clean, modern marketplace where pet businesses can find partners, close deals, and scale. By eliminating subscription fees, PETADD lowers the barrier to entry, allowing suppliers and retailers of all sizes to participate without upfront financial risk.
For pet retailers and shop owners, PETADD provides a way to browse and connect with verified wholesale suppliers from the EU, US, and beyond in one place. Suppliers and manufacturers can list their product catalogues and get discovered by thousands of pet shops actively seeking new stock. Built-in messaging tools enable buyers and sellers to negotiate terms, discuss order volumes, and build long-term business relationships without leaving the platform. Integrated payment processing allows orders to be placed and paid for within the platform, reducing friction and eliminating the need for external invoicing tools.
The implications for margins are significant. By cutting out intermediaries and enabling direct connections, both suppliers and retailers can improve their margins and grow their businesses faster. The commission-only model aligns PETADD's revenue with successful transactions, incentivizing the platform to facilitate genuine deals rather than simply collecting access fees. This could lead to more competitive pricing and a more efficient supply chain in the pet products market.
PETADD is currently welcoming pet product suppliers, distributors, and retailers from across Europe and North America to register and list their catalogues. The company is registered in the United Kingdom (Company No. 17312266) and serves businesses across Europe and North America. As the pet industry continues to expand, a free, commission-based marketplace could accelerate B2B trade and foster stronger connections between suppliers and retailers worldwide.
