What a services marketplace needs
What parts make up a services marketplace?
The service order is the hard part, and it is built in.
Vendors list services
Vendors create and manage services from the frontend.
Buyers give requirements
Buyers answer requirement questions after paying.
Work on the order
Chat, shared files, a status tracker and notifications for both sides.
Delivery and ratings
The seller attaches the final file and marks delivery. A vendor's rating syncs to the WooCommerce product review.
How it works
How do we build your marketplace?
Discovery first, then the build on staging.
Discovery call
We learn what you sell, who sells it and which multivendor plugin fits.
Scope
We agree what is built and what is not.
Build on staging
We set up and shape the marketplace on a staging copy.

Honest comparison
A hosted marketplace service or your own WooCommerce marketplace?
Both are fair choices. Pick by what matters most to you.
Hosted marketplace service | Your own WooCommerce marketplace | |
|---|---|---|
| Getting started quickly | Usually the faster start | Slower, you set it up |
| Hosting and updates | The provider looks after them | You or your developer look after them |
| Owning your store and customer data | Held on the provider's platform | In your own store |
| Changing how the checkout and orders work | Limited to what the provider allows | Changeable with code |
| Running products and services side by side | Depends on the provider | Same WooCommerce store |
| Ongoing running cost | A fee to the provider | Your hosting and plugins |
When you do not need us
Do I need custom work to launch?
Maybe not. Many stores can start with the plugin as it is.
