Do you have an existing site and loyal community and would like to find ways to diversify your revenue? Or would you like to start an eCommerce business without investing in creating your product line? With Product Vendors for WooCommerce you can instantly turn a Woo store into a marketplace with multiple vendors, products and payout settings.
Allow multiple vendors to sell via your site and, in return, take a commission on sales to cover the costs of managing the site while you focus your efforts on building a community.
Vendors can:
Marketplace owners can:
Vendors can register and/or apply by filling out a registration form expressing their interest in selling on your store and they can be accepted and approved on a per application basis.
You can now notify potential vendors when their application has been approved with an email sent directly to their inbox.
Choose from multiple Vendor role settings including Vendor Admin (has access to all vendor settings) and Vendor Manager (limited access, can’t see sales tax or other settings).
Set up one or more WooCommerce users to manage the vendor’s information including profile, email address and logo.
Commissions on sales can be a set amount (ex. $5 on every purchase) or a percentage (ex. 25% of each sale) — you can set this individually per-vendor, per-product, or per-store.
Product vendors have built in Per Product Shipping and the ability to add private notes or notes to customers (e.g. tracking numbers).
Turn your store into a real marketplace by selectively showing each vendor’s, name per product, overall rating, profile photo and profile information.
Payments to vendors can be made, instantly (this is a per-vendor setting only and uses PayPal Payouts*), manually, weekly, bi-weekly and monthly.
