Modules
One platform, every panel you need
Storefront, vendor panel, admin panel, marketing and analytics — all included, all sharing one MySQL database.
Customer Storefront
A fast, SEO-friendly storefront where shoppers browse thousands of products across every vendor, filter by category, and check out in a few taps.
Vendor Panel
Every vendor gets a self-service dashboard to list products, manage orders, track payouts, and respond to customer reviews.
Admin Panel
Approve vendors, configure commissions, manage categories, and moderate the entire marketplace from one central admin console.
Marketing & Coupons
Launch coupon codes, flash sales, and loyalty rewards in minutes, with performance tracking baked right into the same dashboard.
Analytics & Reports
Revenue trends, top vendors, and category breakdowns update in real time, so decisions are backed by data, not guesswork.
Business model
Ways to monetize your marketplace
VendMart ships with the tools to run any combination of these revenue models — mix and match as your marketplace grows.
Order commission
Take a percentage of every vendor sale — set a global rate or negotiate per vendor.
e.g. $50 order × 10% = $5 per sale
Vendor subscriptions
Charge sellers a recurring fee for a storefront and access to your marketplace audience.
e.g. $29/month per active vendor
Featured listings
Let vendors pay to feature products or their store in premium placement on the storefront.
e.g. $15 per product, per week
Transaction fees
Add a small processing fee at checkout, layered on top of payment gateway costs.
e.g. 1.5% platform fee per order
Integrations
Works with the tools you already use
Payment gateways and a standard, well-supported hosting stack — no proprietary lock-in.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
VendMart is a self-hosted, multi-vendor ecommerce CMS built entirely in PHP Laravel. It includes a customer storefront, a seller panel, an admin panel, and mobile apps, so you can launch a fully functioning ecommerce website without building it from scratch.
No. VendMart runs out of the box after a standard Laravel installation, and every day-to-day task — adding vendors, products, coupons, or pages — is handled through the admin panel. Developers can still extend it, since it's plain, well-documented Laravel code.
Yes. Disable vendor registration in the admin panel and VendMart works as a standard single-vendor ecommerce website, with the same storefront and marketing tools.
VendMart needs PHP 8.2 or newer, MySQL 8 (or MariaDB), and Composer/Node for building assets — the same stack as any modern Laravel application. It runs comfortably on shared, VPS, or cloud hosting.
Stripe, PayPal, and Razorpay ship enabled by default, alongside cash on delivery. Additional gateways can be added through VendMart's payment driver system.
Yes — every page ships with clean, descriptive URLs, editable meta titles and descriptions, Open Graph tags, structured data, and an auto-generated sitemap, so your ecommerce website is indexable from day one.
Every plan includes the full source code, so you're never locked into a hosted platform. Support and update windows vary by plan — see the pricing page for exact terms, and extend anytime.
Yes — use the "Live Demo" links in the navigation to explore the storefront, vendor panel, and admin panel with sample data before you commit.
