Does anyone know if Shopify allows a customer to customer type marketplace? Something similar to Vinted’s business model where customer can sell their own items, but also purchase items from other customers
I have seen a multi vendor marketplace add on, however I’m not sure users will be able to purchase items if set up as a “supplier”
Hello,
I am also interested in this topic. Is there a way to create a kind of escrow account with a Shopify merchant account?
In the same cart, a buyer orders and pays:
for item 1, the payment is on hold, the payment is released the seller after the buyer receives the item 1. (C2C marketplace)
for a item 2, the payment is sent to the merchant account. (standard ecommerce journey)
Thanks
Also interested in this option. Lots of multi-vendor options available, but they’re all b2c focussed like Amazon. I’m looking to create a c2c marketplace like ebay, vinted etc. User has one account that allows them to buy & sell.
While I’m not 100% sure about the specific add-on you mentioned… I can assure you that Shopify is a highly versatile platform that offers a wide range of features and options for online businesses. They do have a multi-vendor marketplace add-on called Marketplace that might be worth exploring further.
If you’re looking for more customization and control over your marketplace, working with an online marketplace development company could be a fantastic solution. They can help tailor the platform to your unique needs and ensure a seamless customer experience.
I recommend this plugin called Shipturtle. I have used it for my client’s clothing store.
The C2C functionality is an add-on feature which can be purchased for around $50. All you need is an active Shopify website and a subscription to ShipTurtle’s basic plan. Find Shipturtle here. https://apps.shopify.com/shipturtle
Users on my website can now be both suppliers and buyers.
