'''Commerce''' ({{IPA|fr|kɔmɛʁs|-|LL-Q150 (fra)-Benoît Prieur-commerce.wav}}) is a station on Line 8 of the Paris Métro under the Rue du Commerce, at the intersection with the Place du Commerce in the 15th arrondissement.
== History == The station was opened on 27 July 1937 as part of the extension of line 8 from La Motte-Picquet - Grenelle to Balard. Avenue Émile Zola on line 10 was also previously called ''Commerce'' until it was changed to its present name on 1 March 1937. Hence, it is the last station to inherit the name of an older station on the network, after Vaugirard on line 12 and Saint-Mandé on line 1.
The ''rue du Commerce'', as its name suggests, is a shopping street in the district of Grenelle. The whole span of the street, from Motte-Picquet to the ''Eglise Saint-Jean-Baptiste'', is occupied by a mix of high-street shopping, amongst which are about 20 national and international brands, and small, typically Parisian food stores and cafés. After major real estate development in the 1990s and early 2000s, the street and surrounding neighborhood have managed to maintain much of their peripheral ''faubourg'' or small-town feel while prospering as one of the major centers for population attraction in the 15th arrondissement.
The station was renovated as part of the "Renouveau du métro" programme by the RATP on 7 April 2008,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Le Renouveau du Métro |url=https://www.symbioz.net/index.php?id=42 |access-date=26 December 2022 |website=www.symbioz.net |language=fr}}</ref> removing the previously installed orange tiling when it was first renovated in 1969 in the ''Mouton-Duvernet'' style, restoring the traditional bevelled white tiling.
There are two Vélib' bicycle stations within the vicinity, one on ''rue Lakanal'' opposite the station, and one on ''rue Violet'' on the far side of Place du Commerce.
In 2019, the station was used by 2,864,592 passengers, making it the 184th busiest of the Métro network out of 302 stations.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Trafic annuel entrant par station du réseau ferré 2019 |url=https://dataratp2.opendatasoft.com/explore/dataset/trafic-annuel-entrant-par-station-du-reseau-ferre-2019/table/?sort=-rang&refine.reseau=M%C3%A9tro |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220121165739/https://dataratp2.opendatasoft.com/explore/dataset/trafic-annuel-entrant-par-station-du-reseau-ferre-2019/table/?sort=-rang&refine.reseau=M%C3%A9tro |archive-date=21 January 2022 |access-date=26 December 2022 |website=dataratp2.opendatasoft.com |language=fr}}</ref>

* '''Note:''' The side platforms are offset.
==== Platforms ==== Due the station being built under rue d'Amsterdam, it is too narrow to accommodate the usual layout of the platforms, where the two side platforms are directly opposite each other. As such, its two side platforms are completely offset from each other, the northern platform for services towards ''Pointe du Lac'' and the southern platform for services towards ''Balard''.<ref name="MI-1">{{Cite book |last=Lamming |first=Clive |title=Métro insolite |publisher=Parigramme |year=2016 |isbn=978-2840969808 |pages=153-154 |language=fr}}</ref><ref name="JT">Jean Tricoire, ''Un siècle de métro en 14 lignes.
