I want to build b2b website for vendors who can use their login to maange their products. I should be able to manage the entire vendor system as well.
I want a b2c website connected to the products in the b2b website for customers to purchase. I need delivery options added to the sales.
Does shopify provide all these without custom coding or can anybody help me with this build?
Hey pal @shopify321 !
To answer you directly: No, Shopify does not provide the B2B vendor portal you described with its native features, but you can build this entire system easily without custom coding by using a specific app.
Shopify handles your B2C website and your delivery options perfectly right out of the box.
For the B2B vendor portal, you will need to install a “Multi-Vendor Marketplace” app from the Shopify App Store. These apps are designed to do exactly what you need: they create a separate login for your vendors, allow them to upload and manage their own products, and then automatically sync those products to your main B2C store for customers to buy.
Hope this helps!
Yes, I’m thinking of using Webkul. It seems to have the right b2b multi-vendor and b2c management as well. Except for door-dash which I have to custom code and ask webkul cc to help out, I think it should work.
Looking to do something similar too! Can you share how it goes? if you end up using Webkul
So, after extensive research on different vendor models like Webkul, Shipturtle, etc, we developed our own vendor model as most of the features requested by our client didn’t fit in the existing ones. If anybody is interested, feel free to reach out to us on https://shopify.infiniteagenci.com/ I will be happy to share insight on it.
No, Shopify does not provide this out of the box natively. However, you can achieve it without custom coding by using specialized apps from the Shopify App Store.
