Back Market is a French-founded global online marketplace dedicated exclusively to refurbished consumer electronics — smartphones, laptops, tablets, consoles, watches, audio and home appliances — operating across 17 countries on three regional platforms (EU via backmarket.fr, North America via backmarket.com, Asia-Pacific via backmarket.co.jp). For the ~1,800 professional refurbishers selling on the platform, Back Market publishes a seller-facing REST API (the "Back Market API Guidelines") covering the marketplace taxonomy, product and listing management, order and orderline workflows, BuyBack (trade-in) orders and listings, Backship deliveries and returns, the Care after-sales platform (claims, messages, refunds, item transfers), and Backbox competitive pricing data. The API is documented as an OpenAPI 3.0.3 contract rendered with Stoplight Elements at api.backmarket.dev, authenticated with a Basic token issued from the seller Back Office, and mirrored by preprod environments on every regional platform.
