Product Vendors for WooCommerce

Product Vendors for WooCommerce

Product Vendors is a WooCommerce extension that allows you to transform your online store into a multi-vendor marketplace. With this plugin, you can enable multiple vendors to sell their products on your website, and in return, you can earn a commission on their sales. It’s an ideal solution for those looking to diversify their revenue streams or start an eCommerce business without the need to manufacture their own products.

Key Features:

1. Create a Multi-Vendor Marketplace: With Product Vendors, you can turn your WooCommerce-powered store into a full-fledged marketplace where multiple vendors can sell their products. This is perfect for expanding your product offerings and growing your eCommerce business.
2. Support for Various Product Types: Whether you want to sell physical products, hand-made items, digital downloads (like images, themes, fonts, audio, and video), or time-based bookings (with WooCommerce Bookings integration), Product Vendors has you covered.
3. Sell Your Own Products: You can continue to sell your own products alongside those of other vendors. This allows you to maintain your product line while offering a wide variety of products from different sellers.
4. Customizable Commission Rates: You can set specific commission rates for each vendor. This flexibility allows you to incentivize vendors to join your marketplace and reward top-performing sellers with higher commission rates. You can also set a standard commission rate across your marketplace.
5. Vendor Product Management: Product Vendors empowers vendors to manage their own products. Vendors can add, edit, and configure their products, including setting per-product shipping policies. This reduces your administrative workload.
6. Commission on Completed Orders: Commissions are only assigned to vendors when orders are completed. This ensures that vendors are compensated for successful sales and reduces the complexity of managing commissions for canceled or incomplete orders.
7. Sales Reports: You can stay on top of your marketplace’s performance with sales reports. These reports provide insights into vendor sales, commissions, and earnings on a monthly basis.
8. Delayed Commission Payments for Returns: The plugin supports PayPal Mass Payments, which allows you to delay commission payments in the event of returns on physical products. This ensures that commissions are only paid for completed sales.
