Centra

Built for Fashion, Direct and Wholesale

Centra is narrower than the general platforms on this list and better for it. Fashion brands sell the same catalogue to consumers and to wholesale buyers with different prices, terms and seasons, and Centra models that natively rather than treating wholesale as an afterthought.

Size and colour variants, drops, pre-orders, market-specific assortments and returns are all first-class. Nordic and European fashion brands are its natural customer base.

Documentation Other Platforms Should Copy

Centra publishes a sub-processor list as a versioned PDF, currently version 12.1 dated January 2026, with an information classification on every page. It names each sub-processor, its headquarters, what it does and the data centre location.

Read that document and the picture is clear rather than reassuring, which is the point. The cloud providers are DigitalOcean, LLC of New York and Amazon Web Services, Inc. of Seattle, both American companies, and both are listed with a data centre location of "EU (default)". Hetzner Online GmbH in Germany handles monitoring and logging. Subsidiaries in Poland and the United Kingdom provide development and support.

So: Swedish company, EU data centres, American cloud providers. The data sits in Europe and is held by companies a US court can order to produce it. Centra has not hidden this; it has published it in a form that let this assessment be written from primary evidence in a few minutes.

A DPA and records of processing activities are published at stable URLs alongside it.

The Judgement

If your requirement is EU data residency with documented processors, Centra meets it comfortably and provably. If your requirement is that no American company can be compelled to produce your data, the cloud layer does not meet it, and no platform on this list that runs on a hyperscaler will.
