One platform. Lower costs. Fast launch.

One all-in-one platform covering multiple niches, business models, and monetization strategies.

Feature 01

What a marketplace actually needs, built into the core

A multi-vendor engine with real cart and checkout, plus the levers a marketplace pulls every week — catalog, orders, vendor ranking and monetization. Already wired, configurable per business.

A catalog that is the backbone of the marketplace

Multi-vendor catalog, shared search, vendor-managed listings, moderation pipeline. The category tree is one of the highest-leverage things on the platform — you don’t want to hand-roll it.

  • Nested categories, SEO-aware URLs
  • Ready-made category structure with properties and filters included — adapt it to your niche
  • Flexible, macro-driven SEO settings for search and listing pages
  • Two-step pre-moderation: vendor accounts approved before they sell, listings approved before they publish — both configurable
  • Product variants with their own price and stock under one parent listing
  • Per-category custom fields — typed fields that auto-build search filters, no code
  • Sphinx-powered search with category, geo, and custom-field facets
  • Bulk import (XML native, CSV/YML/REST via add-ons)

A cart that understands multi-vendor orders

Buyers fill one cart from many vendors. The platform splits the order correctly at checkout and tracks each vendor’s fulfillment separately.

  • Stock-aware: quantity validated against each vendor’s inventory
  • A comment to each vendor with their order
  • 60-day cart persistence — buyers return to a saved basket
  • Favorites built in, recently-viewed and similar-listings blocks via add-ons — buyers build shortlists and get pulled back to them
  • Saved-search subscriptions and price-drop alerts via add-ons — buyers get pulled back when new matches appear or a watched price falls
  • Guest checkout with one-step contact capture
  • Only live listings can enter the cart

Order management, for you and for every vendor

Every order flows through statuses the platform understands. Vendors see their share, you see the whole picture, and buyers get notifications at every step.

  • Status pipeline with custom statuses
  • Per-order balance and commission tracked for every vendor
  • Notifications on order events (email, push, SMS, WhatsApp, Telegram)
  • Built-in messaging center: buyers and vendors message inside the order or in direct dialogs. Everything lands in one center with folders and read status, visible to the admin. Deals stay on your platform
  • Full status-change history per order

Reviews that travel across vendor, product, and the buyer

Reviews settle into a vendor’s aggregate rating and count. Pre-moderation with a configurable auto-approve threshold and registered-user gating.

  • Three review targets: vendor, product, and buyer — separate aggregates, separate moderation queues
  • Aggregate rating and review count surfaced on every vendor and product page
  • Vendor-side responses to reviews
  • Multi-criteria scoring add-on — rate on the axes your category needs (delivery, quality, communication)
  • Vendor edit window with timestamped changes (“Edited by vendor [date]”)
  • Buyer follow-up after a vendor response (“Did the vendor solve the problem?”)

The admin panel — the place you actually work

Rebuilt for operators who run the business day-to-day. Less clicking, more seeing — everything you need stays inside the panel.

  • Operator dashboard with counters for vendors, listings, users, and events that need moderator attention
  • Single admin account today — staff sub-roles mapped to how your team actually divides the work
  • Permission levels ready for operators, moderators, and support
  • Counters & Codes — Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Yandex Metrika in one place, no theme edits
  • Ready-made content blocks via theme and add-ons

Monetization, wired in from day one

Commission per transaction, vendor subscription plans, featured placement add-ons — the levers marketplaces actually use. Turn them on when the numbers say to, not when an engineer has time.

  • Commission targets: default, per-vendor, per-subscription-plan, per-user, per-listing — flat or %
  • Vendor subscription plans — listing limits, commission overrides, paid-service quotas, all per tier
  • Seller-paid promotion services: refresh, highlight, pin-to-top, plus bundles — vendors buy them themselves
  • Banner inventory you sell — positions, schedules, multilingual, click-tracked
  • Vendor balance, commissions and balance limits tracked per order
  • 20+ payment gateways as standard add-ons, including invoice-payment for offline confirmation
  • Plus a shelf of add-on levers when you want them: pay-per-contact, premium and urgent placement, a referral program, and Make-an-offer so buyers can counter with a price

You own the platform. You subscribe to the team

Your service period is a renewable plan for the team and upkeep, not rent for software you already own.

Buy once and it’s yours

What you own

  • The platform licensePerpetual. Every point of commission you charge stays with you. No transaction fees, no cut of your sales, no percentage of the volume you grow into. There is no subscription on the software. The license covers one live domain and its subdomains.
  • The codeTransferred to your server, source included. The platform is built for you and your developers to extend. The proven engine core stays sealed, which is what lets upgrades land cleanly without breaking the part that runs your business.
Renewable

What you subscribe to

  • Platform updatesNew features and version upgrades as they ship.
  • SupportOur team in your account, the same one you had through the trial.

When the service period ends, updates and support stop. Your platform keeps running.

Is a marketplace the right platform for you?

Both a marketplace and a classifieds board connect buyers and sellers. The line between them is where the money moves — and the platform you start on either handles that or it doesn’t.

A marketplace is the commerce layer: cart, payment, fulfillment, commission. Transactions happen on the platform, and so does the monetization. A classifieds board stops earlier, at the introduction, and earns from promotion and lead flow.

This platform is built for the first case: revenue from the transaction itself, not from advertising next to it. If you only need listings and lead flow, the Classifieds platform is the lighter, lower-cost fit.

Own the code, or rent the platform?

No. Most day-to-day work is handled through the convenient admin panel and our support during your active service period: custom features, light integrations, data imports, design changes, SEO. Your own developers are optional — if you have a team, they can extend the platform alongside our support.

We install the platform on your server within about 3 business days of payment and server setup. From there, most marketplaces go live in a few weeks of configuration (branding, categories, payments, translations), not engineering — the platform is production-ready from day one. Heavier custom builds take longer.

Self-hosted, on your own dedicated server or VPS (not shared hosting). No transaction fees, no vendor lock-in — your software keeps running whether or not you renew the service period.

You buy the platform license once and own it outright. A renewable service period keeps updates and support flowing. There's no SaaS subscription on the software itself, and no cut of your sales. Pricing depends on which platform you run: a classifieds site costs less than a full marketplace.

Yes — you get access to the platform code, with only a small, closed core. The rest is open to extend. We recommend custom changes as add-ons (our module system): edit the core directly and you can only take updates as manual archives, but keep it untouched and version upgrades stay clean and automatic. Our support team is on hand for architecture questions.

Yes. You own the license outright, so the platform is yours to keep, sell, or move. If you sell the business, the license transfers to the new owner. Change your domain or server and it moves with you. We handle the changeover with you.
