OpenCart Marketplace
Multi-vendor marketplace extension for OpenCart with vendor dashboards, commission management, and automated payouts.
Overview
An entrepreneur wanted to build a multi-vendor marketplace similar to Etsy but for local artisans, using OpenCart as the base platform. The main challenge was creating a complete vendor ecosystem within OpenCart's architecture — including separate vendor storefronts, automated commission splitting, and a vendor dashboard that non-technical sellers could use easily.
- Branded vendor storefronts
- Automated commission calculations and payouts
- Multiple payout methods (bank, PayPal)
- Vendor review and rating system
- REST API for mobile app integration
