Marketplace setup and seller access

MultiVendorX Pro is a paid edition for creating and managing a multi-vendor marketplace in WordPress with WooCommerce. Multiple vendors can offer physical products, digital downloads, services, rentals, subscriptions, or auction listings through one storefront. Supported marketplace models include retail, niche, booking, rental, subscription, auction, and local online marketplaces. The product is presented as a code-free solution with a setup wizard.

Customizable vendor registration, personalized dashboards, vendor information pages, and vendor archive pages organize seller access. Vendors can manage products, coupons, orders, order tracking, and refunds from their dashboards, while administrators oversee the wider store. A single product can be offered by multiple vendors.

Commission plans and vendor payments

Commission options include product-based, category-based, vendor-based, fixed, percentage, fixed plus percentage per transaction, fixed plus percentage per unit, and membership-based rates. Pro includes customizable vendor membership plans with free, trial, or paid options and configurable fees, rates, and benefits.

Payment options include PayPal, Stripe, bank transfer, cash on delivery, and other payment gateways. Real-time vendor payments are supported through PayPal, Stripe, and Mangopay.

Catalog, shipping, and customer inquiries

Product support includes simple products, with variable and grouped products available in Pro. Vendors can also import and export products. Shipping rates can be set by zone, country, distance, or shipping class; Pro adds rates by weight and per product.

An inquiry cart lets customers send inquiries about multiple products. Live chat and vendor messaging give customers ways to contact sellers before a purchase.
