Quick Answer
It's a multi-vendor e-commerce platform that enables multiple sellers to create independent storefronts on your marketplace. It supports bulk pricing, commission management, and advanced search — scaling from 20 to 200+ sellers with $1.2M+ monthly GMV.
- Multi-vendor storefronts: each seller manages their own products and orders
- Automated commissions: configurable rates per seller or category
- Advanced search: faceted search with filters for quick product discovery
- Secure checkout: multiple payment gateways via Stripe
- Seller analytics: dashboards for individual vendor performance
Quick Answer
Commissions are automatically calculated on each sale based on your configured rates. You can set global rates, per-seller rates, or per-category rates. Payouts to sellers are processed automatically through Stripe on your chosen schedule.
- Global rate: default commission for all sellers
- Per-seller rates: negotiate individual rates with top sellers
- Per-category rates: different rates for different product categories
- Automated payouts: scheduled transfers via Stripe
- Transparent reporting: sellers see their earnings and commission breakdowns
