What is a Multi-Vendor Marketplace?

A multi-vendor marketplace is an e-commerce platform Amazon or eBay where different vendors can sell their own products while keeping control of the sales process.

YITH WooCommerce Multi-Vendor Marketplace

YITH WooCommerce Multi-Vendor Marketplace is an extension Plugin of WooCommerce that lets you create a marketplace website like the well-known eBay.org or Amazon.com online stores. The plugin implements all of the features needed to set up an online store under your own brand featuring multiple vendors.

Create a real eCommerce experience for shoppers with product reviews, questions & answers, and seller reputation tools. Increase sales by reaching more potential customers through cross-selling automatically created suggestions. The vendor has its own dedicated account section in which it can manage its orders and invoices directly from within the marketplace dashboard. They will be able to hide their listings from public visibility if necessary and even change their price list or availability status in real-time if needed. Sellers are also able to submit reviews of the product they have purchased from you and specify whether it was brand new or used goods. Review ratings have a direct influence on the vendor's listing position in the marketplace and significantly increases or decreases how much traffic is directed to each seller's store/account. Sellers can also submit questions and answers about the product they want to sell, which will be visible directly on their store page within the marketplace by default (modifiable) and therefore increase any given vendor's SEO visibility.
