What is it?
Your own multi-vendor marketplace
A multivendor WordPress theme with seller sign-up, vendor storefronts, a seller dashboard, split orders, shipping and payouts in one product, not a plugin pile.
Selling only your own products? See the Shop theme.
Make money
Earn on every sale
You never hold stock or pack a parcel. Sellers make and ship, and you earn a commission on every order that goes through your checkout.
Add seller plans, listing fees and featured spots. No monthly fee, no platform cut.
Vendor storefronts for every seller
Every vendor gets a shop page with banner, logo, story and full catalogue. Buyers follow shops and see ratings at a glance. Sellers share their storefront link, sending free traffic to your whole marketplace.
- Branded shop pages
- Follow a shop
- Ratings and sales shown
A vendor dashboard sellers run alone
Sellers run their business from a front-end dashboard, never the WordPress admin. They add products, watch stock, mark orders shipped with tracking and check earnings, so you recruit sellers instead of doing their admin.
- Products and stock
- Orders to ship
- Earnings at a glance
Multi-vendor commission rules
Set a default commission, as a percentage, a fixed amount or both, then override it per category or per seller. It is locked on every order line at the moment of sale, so no spreadsheets.
- Percentage or fixed
- Per category
- Per seller overrides

Explore Our ThemesOne checkout, split orders per seller
Buyers fill one basket from many shops and pay once. The order splits into a sub-order per seller with only their items, shipping and net share, each with its own status and tracking.
- Single payment
- Sub-order per seller
- Separate tracking
Seller payouts and withdrawals
Each completed sale adds to the seller's balance, minus your commission. Funds wait out a holding period you choose so refunds settle first, then the seller requests a withdrawal. Every payout is logged for both sides.
- Running balances
- Holding period
- Withdrawal history
Per-seller shipping rates
Each vendor builds their own shipping profile with zones, first-item and extra-item rates, dispatch times, local pickup and a free-shipping threshold. Checkout adds each seller's shipping separately, so buyers see honest delivery charges.
- Zones and rates
- Extra-item pricing
- Local pickup
Seller plans, listing fees, featured spots
Commission is one income stream. Offer a free starter plan, paid monthly plans with more listings or lower commission, per-listing fees and paid featured spots. Every fee goes to your own account and PremiumPress takes nothing.
- Free and paid plans
- Listing fees
- Paid featured spots
Seller approval and moderation
New vendors apply through a registration form and stay hidden until you approve them. Hold new products for review if you like. Buyer reports land in your queue, where you can hide a listing, pause a shop or remove a seller.
- Application queue
- Product review
- Reports and suspensions
Product and seller reviews
Verified buyers rate the item and the seller separately, so reputation follows the shop. Ratings show on product pages, storefronts and search results. Sellers reply in public and you moderate anything abusive.
- Verified purchases only
- Seller replies
- Admin moderation
Buyer-seller messaging
Buyers message sellers from the product page about sizing, colours or custom orders. Conversations stay on your site, so the sale goes through your checkout, and you have a record if a dispute ever needs settling.
- Ask from the product page
- Custom-order requests
- Admin visibility
Physical products and digital downloads
Sellers list physical goods with stock and shipping, or digital files buyers download straight after payment. Pattern designers and potters trade in one catalogue, so you can build an online marketplace around a whole creative community.
- Stock tracking
- Instant downloads
- Mixed catalogues

Questions
WordPress Marketplace Theme FAQ
The questions we hear most before people buy. Still unsure? Our support team is happy to help.
What is a WordPress marketplace theme?
A WordPress marketplace theme turns one website into a multi-vendor marketplace. Each seller registers, gets a storefront and dashboard, lists products and ships their own orders. You approve sellers, set the rules and take a commission on every sale.
How do I make money from a marketplace website?
Mainly from commission. You take a percentage, a fixed amount or both from each sale. You can add monthly seller plans, listing fees and paid featured spots. The theme is a one-time $99 and PremiumPress takes no cut, so every extra seller and sale improves your margin.
Can I set different commission rates for different sellers or categories?
Yes. A site-wide default applies to everyone, and you can override it per category or per seller. Sellers see the commission deducted on each order line. Rates lock at the moment of sale, so changing a rule later only affects new orders.
How do sellers get paid?
Each seller's share of completed orders builds up as a balance. After the holding period you set, they request a withdrawal. You pay it by bank transfer or PayPal, then mark it paid in both ledgers. A minimum withdrawal amount avoids tiny transfers.
What happens when a buyer orders from three different sellers at once?
The buyer pays once. The order then splits into a sub-order per seller, showing only that seller's items, shipping and net earnings. Each sub-order has its own status and tracking, which the buyer follows from one account. A refund from one seller leaves the rest untouched.
Can sellers sell digital downloads as well as physical products?
Yes. Sellers can list physical products with stock and their own shipping, or digital files such as patterns, fonts and templates that buyers download after payment. One storefront can offer both. Download links stay in the buyer's account, so files can be downloaded again later.
How do I keep poor sellers and unsuitable products off my marketplace?
You approve every seller application, and you can hold new products for review too. Later you can hide a listing, pause a storefront or remove a seller. Verified-buyer ratings show shoppers who is reliable, and buyer reports go straight to your moderation queue.
Do I need WooCommerce or a vendor plugin?
No. Seller registration, storefronts, the vendor dashboard, commission, order splitting and payouts are built into the theme. You avoid stacking a store plugin and multi-vendor add-ons that renew separately and must stay compatible. One product also means one support team for the whole marketplace.
Can I try the marketplace theme before I buy?
Yes. The live demo runs the real theme, so you can browse its designs, seller storefronts and product pages before you buy. Open it from any Live Demo button on this page.
What does it cost, and are there monthly fees?
The price is $99, paid once. It includes 6 months of support and updates, free install and setup with video tutorials, unlimited installs on sites you own and a 14-day money-back guarantee. There is no monthly fee and no platform commission, so every seller fee you charge is yours.
