Marketplace Plugin for WordPress Multisites

I am looking for a marketplace plugin for wordpress and based on a minimum research I thought Dokan and WC Vendors seemed like decent options? WC Vendors says it doesn't support Multisites but Dokan's support agent mentioned that one can't install it on the network but it's allowed for single site installs. I didn't quite get this .. but would appreciate if you could confirm if Dokan does work on multisite installations.. it's fine if it's a per site cost.. that's not the issue.. my concern is if it can be installed..

Going further are there any other plugins/themes that you have experience with and would recommend? Please do advise..

    Thanks for the update.. I was hoping you’d be able to suggest some others out there that are being used by WPMU users and are popular…

    I’ve been able to explore just Dokan and WC Vendors and WC Vendors seem to be an angry lot..:wink:… or atleast a bit pissed off about multisites..:wink:.. Check their Answer in the FAQ section for Multisite Support

    No we do not support WordPress MutliSite for either our Free or Paid plugin. We have no plans to support this feature so please do not ask.

    ha ha!!.. please do not ask.. never heard that line or tone in an FAQ before!!!..:wink:..

    Sorry for your inconvenience. I was nearly sure that Dokan has some kind of MU support. And yes the “please don’t ask” was un-polite, keep wondering at from who came that answer…

    Also yes, Multisites are quite complicated until you’re very sure about what is what, what you’re actually doing, if it’s acutally needed, etcetera. I believe that for Marketplaces, it should be like a standard but sadly it isn’t.

    The use of MU nowadays is quite limited, since it’s safer, easier and less-complicated from pretty much any possible point of view from the DevOps perspective.

    Cheers!

    Hi Alim Bolar

    I see that Fabio already gave you some great suggestions (thanks Fabio Fava !) but I just wanted to add up something not quite related to the question, if you don’t mind :slight_smile:

    I noticed a slight confusion as you wrote:

    Fabio is WPMU DEV Member but not support staff. It’s not uncommon that you’ll get some great suggestions/responses around entire forum here from the Members of our Community. That especially applies to the topics started in “Members” forum and not “Support” forum :slight_smile: That’s perfectly fine but I just wanted to clear that out.

    You can easily recognize whether the response comes from Member or official staff by a small “staff” label next to the post and – on Support Forum – also by a different background color for the post.

    Have a great day!
