What is a multivendor marketplace solution?
Before we address a multivendor marketplace solution. Let’s address what a multivendor marketplace is. A multivendor marketplace refers to a shopping mall setup but in a virtual space. That is, an ecommerce platform that allows other vendors to sign up and start selling through it.
At the same time, the shoppers enjoy a wide variety of products. Being an online setup, this multivendor marketplace houses a lot of potential. Especially in catering to as many sellers as possible. Now coming to the solution part of it.
A multivendor marketplace solution refers to
“An online solution or program that helps businesses to build their own marketplace storefront. It speeds up the entire development process and makes adapting to a marketplace model faster and more efficient.”
Also, a service we have been rendering for over a decade.

The growth of Expressgrass
Expressgrass has been in the business for over 30 years now. Who came to us for regional expansion from the UK to the US and worldwide.
Based in the UK, they felt the need to go online in 2008. And set up a Magento store to cater the online selling of artificial grass and its accessories. Being in business for years, they already had everything running. Once online, things only multiplied for them. The selling became more with the Magento store.
Everything seemed right, with a large inventory size and storage. Soon expansion led to connecting this with other sellers who wanted to sell around. But they needed a way to turn their pre-existing website into the marketplace and not lose their target base. Years in the Magento field prompted us to them. And we delivered a high-end extension for the task.
An extension to connect their website. And keep the marketplace for Expressgrass running.
Thus, allowing to sell listings from other sellers as well.

Swissmade’s hassle-free selling boost
A watch marketplace. One of a kind for vendors across the US. Here’s the story of Swissmade.
Swissmade’s CEO, Daniel, channeled his watch passion with the marketplace. That focuses on hyperlocal functions. I.e., buyers get products from local sellers at a minimal delivery cost.
Being a niche marketplace, the challenges were many.
Say;
- Shipping was expensive
- Low population density
- Vendors were not trusting
- Navigation was hefty for buyers.
- Customer retention was difficult.
But Daniel knew that a niche marketplace would always have a loyal customer base. Hence, he came to us (the team at CedCommerce) for the custom solutions.
Where he received:
- Bulk product upload for vendors with the multivendor marketplace solution.
- Vendor messaging for direct interaction with the customer.
- Buyer ratings on products
- Vendor RMA for initiating returns from the buyer.
- Vendor stripe payment for splitting payment between vendors and Daniel.
This led to him enjoying a marketplace he had always dreamt of. Today, Swissmade has good customer support and the loyal base Daniel had been seeking.
