The Geizhals is one of the biggest comparison engines in Austria and Germany. In addition, it operates in two other European countries and also in an international domain. Currently, you can find over 2 million products and over 13 million visits per month on its Austrian and German domains.
One comparison engine, five options for where to expand
The Geizhals domains .at and .de are the best known, but in addition, sellers have the opportunity to advertise on:
- skinflint.co.uk — An English version that displays offers for UK customers.
- cenowarka.pl — Web mutation for the Polish market.
- geizhals.eu — An international domain that lists all offers regardless of which countries they can be delivered to. It displays items in German, English, or Polish.
Geizhals sorts offers by price
Unlike many other comparison engines, Geizhals does not classify its clients’ offers based on bidding or rating. By default, it sorts them by price. If the price is the same, the shipping time and stock decide what their order is. Only then the store’s customer rating is taken into account.
All its versions give customers the option to sort offers by price, including shipping to a specific country.
On all its sites, customers can filter products by stock and pickup options.
Who can advertise on Geizhals.de and .at?
The main rules for online stores that want to register here are:
- headquarters in the EU
- shipping goods to Austria and Germany
- if the online store is located outside Austria and Germany:
- it must set up its UID for the Austrian or German market
- it must use the local VAT rate for orders to Austria and Germany
- it must have a return address in Austria or Germany, or it must accpet the cost of any return transport itself
