What does it cost to access sales-out data from major UK retailers like Matthew Clark?

Matthew Clark charges for sales-out data access, unlike most other major retailers who provide it for free. Based on community experience, pricing has historically been substantial: one member reported it cost £5,000 five years ago, though current rates are unknown.

Matthew Clark no longer sells ad-hoc data. Instead, they require suppliers to become partners in their tiered system: - **Matthew Clark partnership tiers** — Bronze, Silver, or Gold. Each tier grants access to their sales-out platform, but members describe the costs as "eye-watering" at all levels. The exact current pricing for each tier was not specified in discussions.

**Caveat:** This represents a shift from their previous ad-hoc data model, so suppliers should expect to commit to a partnership structure rather than one-off data purchases. Members recommended getting a current quote directly from Matthew Clark, as pricing from 5+ years ago is likely outdated.
