Request: MarketPress + Single Site + Multi Vendor like ThemeForest or CodeCanyon

0

Hi,

There is no WordPress E-Commerce Plugin available that supports Multi-Vendor on Single Site installation. Thereby I would like to see some feature in one of the next Marketplace updates.

It should work like marketplaces such Themeforest or Codecanyon:

– User is able to submit (digital) products to a single store front.

– When a new product is submitted, admin needs to verify it.

– All payments are collected by the site owner.

– Site owner is able to export commission payments into a text file for PayPal Mass Payment

– There should be an option to set commission ranges. For example:

0-100 sales: Commission 50%

100 – 200 sales: Commission 70%

200 – 500 sales: Commission 85% …

It’s very important to have it working on a single site wp.

Hope there are some other members that miss the mentioned features.

Best regards,

DanOne

    Hi DanOne,

    Sounds like a good idea really, though it would require quite an extensive restructuring of MarketPress I would think.

    Let’s see what others think of this though, as I know there’s been a couple requests made via email regarding it so I’m guessing there’s some interest in it.

    Any +1s on this?

    Thank you, DanOne, for making this request. I absolutely need this for what I’m doing. My business model relies on it!

    I have an educational site. I want different teachers to offer their own courses right on the site. I want everybody’s courses to show up together when you click on the Courses tab. I’m trying out Marketpress.

    I don’t want each teacher to have their own “school” on my site…kind of like other group e-commerce sites where each user has their own “store”.

    But, I want each teacher to be able to enter in their own paypal address, and for me to pay them all (minus the site’s fee) once a month. It would be nice if these payments were made automatically, but I guess I’m okay with making the payments manually until something better comes along.

    An addition to DanOne’s suggestion:

    User is able to submit (digital) products to a single store front.

    I need to give my teachers the option to make their course a one-time download — so, a digital product like DanOne suggests.

    I also need teachers to be able to offer courses in real life, so I need some date/time fields and an integrated google map.

    And then (this is way more complicated), I want two different options for conducting class online: A live streaming video/screen capture option, and a pre-recorded/written course where each lesson is made available every x days, just like Digital Access Pass, though DAP is 6-8 months from releasing this type of multi-user option.

    Hello all, I would like to know if there is a way to use MarketPress such that:

    1. There its only 1 front store, not 1 for each vendor

    2. Each vendor has a visible profile

    3. Each vendor manage his own products

    I personally bought MarketPress because it says “you can use it to start your own Etsy or Ebay style network of stores… where you take a % on each sale!!!”, but I’ve been having problems using it. Please help!!

    Thanks,

    Charlie

    1. There its only 1 front store, not 1 for each vendor

    That is how WordPress Multisite works, each vendor is going to have their own sub-site/blog no matter what. However you can make one universal storefront by using global short codes on your Main blog’s homepage.

    2. Each vendor has a visible profile

    Use buddypress or make a custom Vendor Profile page and standardize it using New Blog Templates

    3. Each vendor manage his own products

    This is how Marketpress is currently.

    @hpidriver: I think what is desired is: 1 store with multiple providers (vendors) but not individual stores for each vendor. The business model aims to aggregate many “independent” creators operating in 1 site/domain, with the site owner taking a % of sales from each provider/vendor. It permits product grouping across providers/vendors – offering an attractive, integrated and fluid shopping experience for users/consumers, while providing a seamless backend operation for sellers & site operators! This is very distinct from multiple vendors with multiple pages/shops.

    Is this possible? ….And: How to set up? Thanks.

    I am almost done but order placed on product of one vendor is visible to “manage orders” menu of other vendors also.

    Means each vendor can see all orders placed for all vendors. How to fix it?

    I want that One vendor can see orders of it’s products only. How to achieve it ?
