A Magento Based Multi-Vendor Website

Client Brief

Soldgone approached us with a requirement to develop a complete multi-vendor eCommerce website where multiple vendors could register and sell their products online. The idea was to provide a single digital platform that allows independent sellers to upload, manage, and promote their products, while the website owner earns a commission on every sale. The client wanted a solution that would simplify vendor management, improve product visibility, and offer customers a wide range of product options under one platform.

Our Endeavor

We developed the website using Magento and MySQL to create a powerful eCommerce foundation. Our team began by setting up Magento on the client’s server and installing the theme shared by the client to match their brand preferences. After completing the initial setup, we integrated the multi-vendor extension, allowing multiple vendors to register and list their products directly on the website. The system was designed to automatically calculate and credit commissions to the admin account whenever a vendor’s product was sold.

Once the core structure was in place, our developers worked on improving the overall appearance and user interface of the website. The visual layout, product pages, and navigation flow were refined to provide a smooth experience for both vendors and customers. We also made sure that the theme integration aligned with the design consistency throughout the entire platform. This enhancement helped create a professional look and improved the usability of key features on the website.

To make the platform more flexible, we implemented a unique functionality that allows registered buyers to also sell products without having to go through a separate registration process. This simplified the workflow and encouraged more participation from users who were already active buyers. It helped in building a stronger vendor community and expanded the marketplace reach within a shorter period.

Our team enhanced the vendor dashboard with detailed reporting options. Vendors can now view sales reports, product performance, and transaction details from a single screen. These reports were designed to help them analyze their sales trends and plan their inventory better. The admin section was also upgraded with similar reporting capabilities to keep track of overall business activities and commissions with greater accuracy.

We also focused on improving vendor control over their product listings. New features were added that allow vendors to create, edit, and delete products at their convenience. This gave them the freedom to manage their catalog efficiently without depending on admin support. The updated system provided better transparency between admin and vendors and made product management much more organized.

Our team reviewed each functionality, including vendor registration, product uploads, commission calculation, and checkout flow, to make sure the process was smooth and error-free.
