BigBuy is one of the names that comes up most often whenever dropshipping and wholesale buying in Europe are discussed. It's also a source regularly cited in our own guides on B2B wholesalers for arbitrage. Here's what it actually offers and where it stands on ArbitragePro+ integration.
What is BigBuy?
BigBuy presents itself as a SaaS platform designed to centralize e-commerce operations management: dropshipping, wholesale buying, order fulfillment and multichannel selling, all brought together under a single account. Unlike Qogita or Eany.io, which work as marketplaces aggregating several suppliers, BigBuy is built around its own catalog and its own logistics.
On its website, the company states a catalog of 400,000 references across 24 categories, as well as more than 7 million dropshipping shipments processed since its founding. These figures, as with the other platforms mentioned in this article, come from the company itself.
Product categories available
BigBuy's catalog is generalist, with 24 stated categories covering in particular:
- Home and garden: decor, furniture, gardening
- High-tech and electronics: accessories, small appliances
- Fashion and accessories
- Sport and leisure
- Wellness and beauty
This catalog breadth makes it a versatile source, useful for sellers working several categories in parallel rather than a single niche.
How BigBuy integrates with ArbitragePro+ (as of today)
BigBuy is one of the sources tracked in ArbitragePro+'s supplier registry, but its catalog connection is currently being qualified on the automated import side — unlike Qogita and Eany.io, which are already fully connected with regular imports of several hundred thousand references each. In practice, this means BigBuy does not yet feed the continuous automatic price comparison in the same way as these two sources.
BigBuy offers its own API as well as direct integrations with more than 200 sales channels (Amazon, eBay, Shopify, WooCommerce, and European marketplaces such as Cdiscount, Carrefour, Allegro or Kaufland), making it a technically mature player — the main task on the ArbitragePro+ side is completing the qualification of this connection to bring it to the same level as the two already-active sources.
Advantages of BigBuy
- Wide, generalist catalog: 24 stated categories, useful for multi-category sellers.
- Volume and operational maturity: more than 7 million stated dropshipping shipments, a sign of a proven logistics infrastructure.
- Extensive integration ecosystem: more than 200 directly connectable sales channels, including the main European marketplaces.
- A recognized player in the ecosystem: BigBuy is an established name, cited for a long time in comparisons of B2B wholesalers for arbitrage and dropshipping.
Limitations and points to watch
- ArbitragePro+ connection still being qualified: as of today, BigBuy doesn't have the same level of automation in ArbitragePro+ as Qogita or Eany.io — a manual comparison via its own catalog or API is still needed in the meantime.
- Unaudited figures: the stated catalog and volumes come from the company's own communications.
- Proprietary model: unlike a multi-supplier marketplace, range depth depends entirely on BigBuy for each category, with no alternative supplier within the platform itself.
- Net margin still to calculate yourself: as with any source, a listed BigBuy price is not a net margin — see our margin calculation method to factor in commission, fees and VAT before deciding to buy.

Frequently asked questions about BigBuy
Do you need a registered business to buy on BigBuy? Yes, as with the other wholesalers mentioned in this article, a professional account is required to access wholesale rates. The exact conditions (documents required, any minimums) should be checked directly on BigBuy's website.
Can you use BigBuy for dropshipping without stocking products? That's precisely one of the models BigBuy highlights: the platform states it handles order preparation and shipping for dropshipping, sparing the seller from stocking the product themselves. The exact terms and timelines for this service should be confirmed directly with BigBuy depending on the product categories targeted.
When will BigBuy be fully connected to ArbitragePro+? Qualifying a new source (catalog verification, price reliability and product identifier availability) takes time before reaching the same level of automation as Qogita or Eany.io. In the meantime, BigBuy remains directly accessible through its own catalog or API for anyone who wants to integrate it manually into their sourcing research.
Is BigBuy right for you?
If you work several generalist categories (home, high-tech, fashion) and want a supplier with proven logistics infrastructure and sales integrations, BigBuy remains a reference worth considering — especially if you're comfortable querying its catalog or API directly while its ArbitragePro+ connection is being fully qualified.
