Turn your store into a multi-vendor marketplace
Do you own an existing website and a loyal community and want to find ways to diversify your income? Or do you want to start an e-commerce business without investing in creating your own product line? With WooCommerce’s product vendors, you can instantly transform WooCommerce supported stores into marketplaces with multiple vendors, products, and payment settings.
Allow multiple vendors to sell through your site and in return charge a sales commission to cover the cost of managing the site, while you focus on building a community.
Why use commodity multi-vendor plugins?
- Create a market where you can sell anything. From physical, handmade products to digital downloads like photos, themes, fonts, audio or video, and even our time-based bookings integrated with WooCommerce Bookings.
- Continue to sell your products. Display vendor products for sale next to your own products.
- Set a vendor-specific commission rate. Incense new suppliers to join your market, or reward loyalty or high income with vendor-specific commission rates-while still setting a separate base commission rate in your market.
- Reduce your administrator. Allow suppliers to manage their own products.
- Do not pay commissions for uncompleted orders. Set commissions to be allocated to suppliers only after the order is completed.
- Get a hold of your market with sales reports. Comprehensive understanding of supplier sales, commissions and monthly earnings by supplier.
- Deferred commission payments to calculate returns. In the case of physical product returns, use PayPal Payouts to delay commission payments.
