What is a Multi-Vendor Marketplace?
A platform which connects buyer and sellers/vendors at one place is called a marketplace. Traditional eCommerce stores have only shop owner and customers.
But in an online marketplace, there are a couple of other entities –
- Marketplace owner
- Vendors/Suppliers (in case of B2B)
- Customers
- Logistics and warehouse manager (In case of Big marketplaces)
- Shipping provider
There are others as well, like dispute manager (in case of refund and returns).
