What to expect from OnBuy in the second half of 2026

OnBuy have been a little quiet of late… although they had the huge announcements of the creation of OnCommerce and the pending launch of easyShop. But behind the scenes they’ve been working hard and today we can reveal what’s coming in the second half of 2026 and their plans for 2027.

OnBuy Q4 Launches

Q4 is going to be a busy time for OnBuy with a whole raft of projects due to launch:

easyShop

easyGroup is entering mainstream online retail with the launch of easyShop.com, a new online marketplace set to go live later this year, marking a significant expansion into everyday shopping. easyShop will bring retailers together into a single shopping destination designed for long-term growth, launching initially across 21 European countries.

Comet

OnBuy will rebuild Comet into a powerhouse for consumer electronics, just as it once was – but with a modern, digital-first approach that will deliver incredible value and a seamless shopping experience to customers.

OnCommerce

OnCommerce is a cutting-edge platform that connects sellers to multiple global markets and retail channels through a single account that will power OnBuy, easyShop and Comet. To support early adoption, OnCommerce is offering a limited-time incentive: Sign up and pay for your first month by the 31st July 2026, and get the next 12 months completely subscription free!

Priority Service

Priority Service will launch in Q4 – look out for more announcements on this soon!

Constructor discovery

Constructor is a search and discovery platform designed exclusively for commerce and marketplaces where conversions matter and it’s going to power OnBuy, Comet and easyShop. From search and browse, to AI Shopping Agents and Product Insights Agents, recommendations, collections, offsite discovery, attribute enrichment, and much more, Constructor covers the entire discovery journey.

Retail Media

For the first time, brands and retailers will be able to bid for greater visibility across the OnBuy platforms.

Mobile App

The OnBuy mobile app has been in soft launch testing phase, but it’s due to go live to everyone in time for the peak Christmas shopping period.

USA – 2027

Once the busy Q4 period is over, look out for the announcement that OnBuy will be launching their marketplace in the USA!
