Pepita is the leading, fastest-growing online marketplace in Central Europe. First launched in 2017 in Hungary, Pepita quickly gained popularity in its homeland, along with the opportunity to branch out into other neighboring markets.
Today, besides Hungary, Pepita operates in seven more Central European countries: Romania, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Poland, Germany, Austria, and Croatia. Over 2,500 third-party partner merchants from these locations successfully sell on Pepita.
Pepita positions itself as the family’s webshop where people can buy almost everything in one place. Its huge catalog boasts more than 6 million products across hundreds of popular categories, including home goods, renovation tools, mother & baby items, toys & games, consumer electronics, fashion, office supplies, sports equipment, and so much more.
Even though it’s relatively young, Pepita has already received notable recognition. In 2023, Forbes named Pepita the 3rd largest e-commerce retailer in Hungary and included it in their "Digital Heroes" list for an impressive 56% revenue growth. That same year, Pepita also earned a spot among the top 20 on Deloitte’s Central European "Fast 50 Companies to Watch" list.
Every month, around 2 million people visit the Hungarian Pepita, while another 2 million from all over Central Europe shop on regional Pepitas.

More than 50% of Pepita’s partner retailers upload their items to this marketplace using an XML product feed. Many of them greatly simplify their daily work with this feed by incorporating dedicated product feed software like Mulwi.
Mulwi’s support experts can help you create a perfect Pepita feed for your store, free of charge. Just send us a request with your goals, and we’ll configure everything in our app to match your needs, handling all the technical nuances and following all of Pepita’s requirements.
Planning to sell on multiple regional Pepitas? Mulwi’s got you covered: we can set up a separate localized product feed for each of your target markets, also free of charge.
Once your product feed’s ready, simply email its URL from the Mulwi app to [email protected], and Pepita’s tech team will connect it to your seller account. Over this URL, Mulwi will automatically send an up-to-date file every hour, keeping your products on Pepita in perfect sync with those in your Shopify store. Alternatively, you can upload feeds to your Pepita account manually, but in this case, you won’t benefit from automated updates and will have to resubmit a new file yourself.
After Pepita finishes processing and verifying them, your products will immediately become available to the customers on the marketplace.
So, ready to grow in Central Europe with Pepita? Then install the Mulwi app now and contact our support specialists to get your ideal product feed for Pepita today.
