Offer a more convenient way to buy from your online marketplace. With a mobile app for iOS and Android, your customers can browse your marketplace, add products to wish lists and carts, and pay via offline payment method or PayPal Express Checkout.

All the data is synced with your virtual mall: if you change categories, products, users, carts, wish lists, orders, and other data, the changes will affect the app. You are free to customize the look and feel of your application by changing a logo and colors. When the app is ready, we will upload it to Google Play and App Store and keep it up to date.

Make your marketplace catalog look nice, clean, and uniform. With the Common Products for Vendors feature, you can forbid your vendors from creating new products. Enable them to only use listings created and designed by you. In such listings, vendors can only set their prices and quantity. Of course, you are free to allow your vendors to add their products as well.

The Common Products for Vendors function adds a comparison table to a product page. If a product is sold by several vendors, a customer can compare prices and choose the best listing.

Attract more vendors by offering affordable commissions on low-margin products. Popular products such as toys, home care, and non-food goods are sold with a low margin. To attract vendors selling these kinds of products, set a lower commission for low-margin product categories.

On the other hand, you can set a higher commission for high-margin products such as Apple devices and get more income from your vendors.

Take full control over a vendor’s admin panel—enable and disable menus and set privileges. This way you can hide unnecessary menus and interface elements in the vendor panel and leave only those that are frequently used by a vendor.

For example, a vendor selling downloadable products doesn’t need the shipping methods menu. Hide it from the vendor panel to make the interface lighter and clearer.

Motivate your vendors to pay you in time. The Vendor Debt Payout function pairs with Vendor plans and allows you to block the admin panels of those vendors whose debt has reached the limit or who didn’t pay for their plan in time.

You don’t have to deal with your debtors manually sending dozens of messages and making hundreds of calls to recover the debt. They will come to you first. And you will offer them a convenient way to pay their debts.

Feel the pulse of your marketplace. It is impossible to run a successful marketplace without deep analysis based on statistics and reports.

What does Multi-Vendor offer you in terms of statistics? Multi-Vendor is integrated with Google Analytics. This service generates detailed statistics about your website visitors. It gives you rich insights into your website traffic and marketing effectiveness.

Google analytics is the most powerful tool for analysis nowadays. And it’s absolutely free!

Another built-in analysis tool is called “Sales reports”. It gives you detailed statistics on the sales in your marketplace. Statistics may be represented in a form of graphical or tabular charts. For convenience, charts are grouped into separate reports.

Open a global marketplace with storefronts for different countries, vendors, and product categories. With the Multiple storefronts feature, you don’t need to launch several marketplaces from scratch—just open a new storefront with a desired language, currency, vendors, and products, and manage all the storefronts via a single admin panel.

Provide each vendor with a separate admin panel. It will allow your vendors to manage their own settings and products.

Vendor panels include just what vendors need and are allowed to modify in your marketplace. Vendors will not interfere with each other.

In Multi-Vendor your merchants can:

• Manage their orders, products, filters, options, and features
• Add vendor administrators with different access levels to the admin panel
• Add different informational pages, polls, forms, and links
• View vendor account balance
• Set shipping methods and taxes
• Choose currency and language
• Import or export products and orders

Give your vendors more opportunities to boost their sales. Vendors can create their own catalog and cart promotions—offer free shipping, discounts, free products, coupon codes, and access to VIP user groups.

This feature greatly helps boost vendors’ sales and attract more vendors to your virtual shopping center.

Attract vendors from different countries. You are not bound by language limitations. Multi-Vendor includes 26 translations out of the box.

It is not a machine-based but a community-driven translation made by native speakers. Language variables are translated for all sections: storefront, admin, and vendor panels.

Enable you customers to send messages to your vendors. You just can’t know everything about every product in your marketplace. And customers often have questions. Connect your customers with your vendors so that the latter could answer the customer’s questions about a product.

With the Customer-to-Vendor Communication function, customers can send a message to vendors right from the product page. It makes products more attractive for buying and helps to convert visitors into paying customers.

Give your vendors an advanced analytics tool. With Multi-Vendor shopping cart software, your sellers can view detailed statistics on their sales in your marketplace. Like the store administrator, sellers can view graphical or tabular charts.

Besides, vendors can view their account balance to track all payouts and commissions taken by the store administrator. Sellers can also review the income and expenditure statistics: total and per period.

Allow your vendors to create a unique design for their micro-stores. Your vendors’ micro-stores don’t have to look exactly the same. You can enable your vendors to modify colors, fonts, backgrounds, and the layout of their micro-stores.

What if your marketplace is in black and white and one of your vendors sells party stuff? That color scheme doesn’t look like a good fit for party products. By using the built-in design and layout editor, the vendor can easily configure a color scheme and the style of their storefront.
