Multi-Vendor Ultimate is the edition for operators running several brands, markets or countries on a single platform. It includes everything from Plus, plus an unlimited number of storefronts, each with its own design and its own payment and shipping methods.
Ultimate also adds warehouses, order fulfillment by the marketplace and a performance boost for heavy traffic. The purchase includes a year of VIP technical support, during which we will help you set the platform up for your business model.
What Multi-Vendor Ultimate adds
Multiple storefronts and ability to adjust their layouts and graphic themes
In Multi-Vendor, one theme is used for entire store. In Multi-Vendor Ultimate, each storefront with vendors has his own layout, which can be modified. It is also possible to set different theme for each storefront, so each of them will be different.
Separate payment and shipping methods for each storefront
This functionality allows you to assign each storefront a different set of shippings and payments. There's no need to define them separately for each vendor - just select them from menu. This functionality is especially useful if vendors are from different countries and some payment/shipping methods are unavailable for them.
Updates
The Multi-Vendor Ultimate license includes one year of access to new versions of the software. Updates add features, fix bugs and keep the platform secure.
1 year of VIP technical support
Purchasing Multi-Vendor Ultimate license gives access to free technical support for 1 year. We'll help you configure the system, install add-ons and adjust it to your needs, so it will fit your requirements.
Also in the Ultimate edition
- Warehouses: product stock kept separately for every warehouse and brick-and-mortar store, with availability shown to customers by location.
- Order fulfillment by the marketplace: vendor plans in which the marketplace handles shipping and keeps the shipping fees.
- Payments by country of the customer, useful when you sell to many markets.
- Performance Booster: full page cache (Varnish) for heavy traffic, requires a server with Varnish.
Everything the Plus edition offers
Mobile app for customers
Give your customers a mobile app similar to the ones they know from large shopping platforms. They can browse your offer, add products to the wishlist and cart and place orders, while every change made in the store appears in the app right away. You can match the app to your brand with colors and a logo, and push notifications let you remind customers about promotions.
Common products
Vendors are often selling the same product, and customer may be surprised if he'll see multiple similar products when searching. You can create a base of common products and share it with vendors, without letting them add their own products. Vendors will be able to set only price, amount and shipping of such products. This way you'll avoid duplicates in your marketplace.
Split order placement
This functionality is a part of an add-on Direct payments to vendors. It allows to place order separately for each vendor. Vendors are creating their own payment methods, and full payment sum is transferred to their account. With this system, it's vendor responsibility to pay you a commission for their orders.
Vendor promotions
Vendors create their own catalog and cart promotions for their products, with discounts, gifts and free shipping. It is a tool that genuinely increases sales on the platform and a strong argument when you recruit new vendors.
Category commissions
Some products have a very low margin. If your store commissions are high, vendors won't sell those products because they won't gain any profit. Category commissions solves this problem - set high commission for high margin products, and low commission for low margin products.
Advanced vendor access restrictions
Remove vendor's access to certain parts of the store, for example the ones that are unused. For example, software key selling vendor does not need shipping methods, so we can hide them. This functionality also adds special group of administrators - Vendors.
Theme editor for vendors
Another tool for vendors, allowing them to modify their micro-store, so it will look different than others. Vendors can change colors, backgrounds and fonts using built-in editor, without need to learn HTML or CSS.
Also in the Plus edition
- Vendor rating based on multiple criteria, which rewards the best vendors and keeps the offer in order.
- Product videos on product pages, which sell better than photos alone.
- PWA for every store, installed from the browser without publishing to app stores.
- llms.txt file, which helps AI assistants understand what your platform offers.
- API access for vendors, convenient for vendors who integrate the platform with their own systems.
