Admin panel

One console for the whole marketplace

The admin panel is where you run the business. You decide who can sell, how much you earn from each sale, how products are organized and how each delivery area is served. Everything the vendors, customers and riders do flows back into the same place, so you can see how the marketplace is performing without stitching reports together.

What you can manage

• Vendors: review and approve who joins the marketplace, and manage them afterwards.
• Commissions: set the rate you take, globally and with per-vendor overrides.
• Categories: keep the catalog organized so shoppers can find things.
• Zones: control which areas are served.
• Dashboards and analytics: see orders and revenue as they happen.

Available in every plan

The admin panel is part of every license, Starter included. The Starter plan supports up to 25 active vendors; Business and Agency remove that limit.

Run it as one store or many

If you want a standard single-vendor store instead of a marketplace, disable vendor registration in the admin panel and VendMart works as one store with the same storefront and marketing tools.

Good habits for running a marketplace

Review new vendors before they go live, keep categories tidy so shoppers can browse without effort, and revisit your commission rate as the marketplace matures. Start with a rate that vendors find fair, and change it deliberately rather than often, because vendors plan their pricing around it.

How it works

1. 1 Sign in to the admin panel after installation.
2. 2 Set up categories and delivery zones.
3. 3 Configure your commission rate.
4. 4 Approve the first vendors and check their products.
5. 5 Watch the dashboards as orders start to arrive.
