How to Make A Multi Vendor eCommerce Marketplace Website in WordPress (like Amazon & Flipkart)

Hi guys .

Today , we're going to see how you can create a multi vendor e-commerce website .

Let's say you want to create an e-commerce website where you want to allow other sellers to sell products on your website , you can do that by watching this video .

So after watching this video , you'll be able to create a multi vendor website like this with any silicon visitor on your site and get a dashboard like this where they can add their own products and these products will appear on your site like this .

And anyone who is visiting your site can order these products online by making the payment and then get the product delivered from the seller .

The sellers will be able to view their earnings with their own dashboard .

You can also get a commission for that sale .

So this is brand rule set learners and let's start creating a multi vendor ecommerce website .

So to create a multi vendor ecommerce website , we are going to do four parts .

The first part is to launch a website .

Now , this is where you get a new website live on the internet .

So to launch your website , we're going to do two steps .

The first step is to choose your website's name .

Now to choose the name , just click the link below this video and it will take you to this page .

Now , enter the name you want in this box .

I'm going to enter next casuals dot com and click check availability .

Now , here you can see that the name is available .

So once you choose your name , you can go to the next step , which is to get this domain name .

And hosting domain is the name of your website , which people have to enter here to visit your website .

And hosting is the place where your website's files are stored , like your website's images and files .

So to get your hosting and this domain just scroll down this page and click get hosting and it will take you to this page .

This is the place where we are going to get our hosting and domain .

And as you can see our domain is still available .

So let's click add to cart and click , continue .

Not here .

It will ask us to choose a hosting plan now , hosting is needed so that your website is visible on the internet and can be accessed by anyone .

And as you can see here , hosting provides the space to store your website on the internet .

So based on the number of websites you're going to build , you can choose a plan here .

I want to build one website .

So I'm going to choose this plan and it will take you to this page here .

You need to choose how long you want to have the hosting .

I'm going to select 12 months and click continue .

Now , here you can see that we're getting our domain which is next casuals dot com for free and are hosting for 12 months .

Now , both of these are valid for one year , which means once we complete this purchase , our site will be live on the internet for one year .

So to get a dominant hosting , let's pull up these details .

And here choose the payment method you want , then enter your details and click order .

Now , so now we have successfully placed the order .

Now , if we click here , you can see that we have successfully got our domain and hosting .

So once you've got your domain and hosting , your website should be live on the internet .

So to check that let's open a new tab now , free type next casuals dot com and press enter .

You can see that we have a brand new website on the name which we selected .

Now , sometimes it might take a few minutes for the domain to become active on the internet .

So if you're not seeing this , try refreshing after 10 minutes and you will see it .

Ok .

So now we have successfully launched our website on the internet .

Once you have launched your site , let's go to part two of this tutorial , which is to start building a e-commerce site .

Now , instead of building a e-commerce site from scratch , we are going to import a sample e-commerce site and then we are going to edit it to make our own site .

So this is going to speed up the process .

So to input the sample side , we are going to do two steps .

The first step is to log into our website .

So to log on to your website , all you have to do is just type slash WP hyphen admin after your site's address .

Now , if you press enter , it will take you to the login page of your website .

Not to log in , you need to enter the user name and password , which was sent to your email .

So to get the user name and password , let's go to our inbox and here you can see the email from webspace kit which has our log in details .

So let's open it .

And here you can see the user name and password for logging into our site .

So first let's copy this user name and paste it here , no copy of the password and paste it here .

Ok .

So now if you click log in , you can see that we've successfully logged into our website and this is known as our Wordpress dashboard .

This is the place but you can control your website and make any kind of change you want .

Ok , we can now go to step two of importing the sample side which is to install a theme in wordpress .

So we're going to install a theme called Astra , which is going to let us import the sample e commerce site .

So to install the team , just go to appearance and click themes .

Now click add new and then search for a team called Astra and you'll get this theme which is going to help us import the sample side .

So to install the theme , just click install and then click , activate .

So now we've installed the Astra theme next tempo , the sample side , click get started and it will take you to this page .

Now , once you reach this page , just select element or which will make it easier for you to at the site in the future .

So let's select that .

And now it will take you to this page where you can see different designs which you can apply to your site .

Now , as we are going to build an e-commerce site , let's click here and then select view commers and you will find different types of e-commerce side designs .

So now just select the design which you like .

I'm going to choose this one now to input this design into your site , just click , input complete side and then click skip .

And now the entire e commerce design will be imported into your site .

OK .

Now the sample side has been imported .

Now , let's see how our site looks .

Now , if you go to the tab , you can see this is our site was before it was almost empty .

Now , if we click refresh , you can see that we have got the entire ecommerce design into a site .

Now , this is a fully working e commerce site .

So now we have successfully imported our sample e-commerce site .

Ok .

So once we've imported the sample side , we can now go to part three , which is to set up part two .

No store is the place where your customers can see your products and then purchase them .

So let's go to our now to set up a store .

We are going to do four steps .

The first step is to change your currency here .

You can see that we are the default currency .

Now to change this to your currency , let's go to your dashboard and then go to Woocommerce , click settings .

Now to change your currency , just scroll down this page and here you will find the currency option .

So to choose your currency , just click here and enter the currency using which you want to sell your products .

I'm going to search for ruby , then select it and click save changes .

Now , if you go to our product page and click the fresh , you can see that our product price is now shown in rupees .

So now we have successfully changed our currency .

Next , let's try buying this product from our website .

Let's click on the product .

Now , if you click add to card and click , proceed to check out , you can see that it says no payment methods are available .

So in order to allow your customers to pay for your products , you need to set up your payment method .

So next , let's go to step two of setting up our store , which is to set up your payment method .

Once you set up your payment method , you will be able to receive payments directly to your bank account .

When someone purchases your product .

Now we are going to use the Stripe payment method on our site .

So to add Stripe to your website , you need to install a stripe plug in on your side .

So install the plug in .

Let's go to our workers dashboard .

Now go to plugins and click add new .

Now search for a plug-in called Stripe for Woocommerce and you will get this plug in now to install this plug in .

Let's click install and then click activate .

So now we have installed this type plug in .

Once you've installed the plug in next , you need to connect your website with stripe .

So to connect it just go to settings here , you can see test mode is active for Stripe .

So let's click here and change it to life and click , save changes .

Now to connect your site with stripe , click connect and it will take you to Stripe no matter your email and click next .

Can I give you a password for your Stripe account and click next .

Now you need to fill up a few details about yourself .

So let's fill up these details and click next here .

You need to enter your bank details , but you won't receive your payments and click next .

Now , when someone purchases a product from your side , that money will be sent to this account .

Once you've added all the details , you can take it here , then click done and it will take you to your dashboard here .

You can see that your Stripe account is now connected to your website .

So let's click save changes .

Now , we have successfully connected our Stripe account with our website once you have connected Stripe with your website .

Now if you go back to our page and click the first , you can see that we now have the payment option on our site .

So now we have successfully set up the payment method and your customers can buy products from your website .

Ok ?

So now if you go to us to , you can see that we have these sample products here .

Next , let's go to step three , which is to delete these sample products .

So to delete them , let's go to our dashboard , then click products and here you can see all the sample products not to delete the sample products .

Just click here and then click here .

So select move to trash and click apply .

So we've deleted all the sample products .

And now if you go to a store and click refresh , you can see that all the products have been removed once you have removed all the sample products .

Next , let's go to the final step of setting up a store which is to add your own product .

Now , if you don't want to add any products of your own and only want the other sellers product on your site , you can skip this step .

So to add your own product , just go back to your product page and look at you .

So to add a new product , all you have to do is just enter the product name , its price and some details about the product .

OK .

So once you've added these details , you can now add your product team mates .

So to add the image , just click set product image and then drag an image from your computer and drop it here .

And as you can see the image has been added .

So now we have added all the details about the product .

Now , do I put it to our website ?

Let's click publish .

And now if you go back to us two page and click the first , you can see that we have a product .

So this is how you can add your own product to your website .

Next , let's try buying this product from our site .

So just like a customer would do , let's click add to card and click , proceeded to check out and fill up these details .

So if they enter the card details and click place order , you can see that the payment has been made and the order has been placed .

Ok .

So this is how a customer can buy a product from your side once the customers purchase the product .

So now if you go to Iron Works , you can see that we have received two emails .

The first email is from wordpress .

The second email is from stripe .

So if you open the first email from wordpress , you can see that we have all the details about the order .

So we have the name of the product which the customer has ordered and their address know if you go back and open a second email , you can see that Stripe confirms that you have received a payment .

So once you get this email , you can go ahead and deliver the product to your customer .

Now , if you want to know how to deliver products to your customers , you can watch this video .

So now we have created a fully working e-commerce website where you can sell any product you want .

Once you have created a e-commerce website , we can now go to the final part of this tutorial which is to make the site into a multi ecommerce website .

Once you do this , you will be able to allow other sellers to sell their products on this site .

So to allow other sellers to sell products on your site , we are going to do four steps .

The first step is to install the multi vendor plug in on our website .

So to install the plug-in , let's go to our dashboard , go to plugins and click add new the source for a plug-in called Doan .

And you will get this plug in .

This is the plug in which is going to help us make our site into a multi vendor website .

So to install this plug in , let's click install and then click activate .

So now we have successfully installed the plug-in .

Once you have installed the plug-in , we can go to step two , which is to set up this plug in .

So to set up the plug in , just click here and it will take you to this page .

Now , click continue .

Now on sites like Amazon and flip card , anyone can become a seller and sell their products and whenever a sale happens on their side , a percentage of it is taken by the website owner which is Amazon or Flip Cart .

So in the same way , when you let sellers to sell their product on your side , you will be able to earn a commission from their sales .

So here you need to enter the percentage of commission that you want to receive for each sale .

So I'm going to enter 10 .

Now , when a customer purchases any product from your vendor , 10% of the sale amount will be shared with you as the commission .

Ok .

So here you need to choose whether you want to allow the vendor to change the status of the orders or not .

So to allow the vendors to change the order status , let's enable this option .

Once you have entered these details , click continue .

And here you need to select the payment method which you want to use to send the money to your vendors .

Now , when a customer purchases a product from your vendor , that money will be sent to your stripe account .

And now you are in charge of sending the money to the vendor .

So here you need to choose which method you want to use to send the money to your vendors after they have made sales .

So I'm going to use bank transfer .

So let's enable that .

Now , whenever you receive an order on your site , by default , its status will be set as processing and once the vendor has shipped the product , they can change the status to completed .

Ok .

Now , here you can select at which order status your vendor can ask for a withdrawal for the sales they made .

Now , if you want your vendors to send a withdrawal request , only after they have delivered the product to the customer , just select completed .

So now only when the order is marked as complete , they will be able to send the withdrawal request once you have selected these click continue .

And now we have successfully completed setting up the multi vendor plug in .

Now , if you click here , it will take you to your worker's dashboard and as you can see we have got a new section called Doke where you can see the details of the sales and vendors .

And also you will be able to see your commissions or earnings here .

So once you set up the multi vendor plug in , we can now go to step three of making your multi vendor website , which is to add a vendor registration form on your site .

No , for vendors , it's our website and goes to account , you can see that they do not have any form to register on your site .

So all our vendors to register on your website , we are going to add a registration form like this on our side .

So to add the registration form , let's go to our wordpress dashboard .

Now go to Woocommerce , click settings and go to accounts and privacy .

Now to add the registration form to your site , just enable this option and then click save changes .

Now if you go back to our website and click refresh , you can see that we now have the registration form on our site .

Once you've added the registration form .

Next , let's see how a product seller can register on your website and become a vendor .

Let's say someone wants to register on your site .

All they have to do is just select the vendor option and then fill up these details .

Now , if they just start , it will take them to the vendor set up wizard which will let them choose their settings for selling products on your site .

So as a vendor would do , let's set this up .

So now if you click here , it will ask us to enter the details of our two .

So let's fill up these details and click continue next here to ask your vendor to enter their bank details .

Now , if your vendors from India , they can enter the ifse code here .

These details are needed so that you can send the sale amount to your vendors .

Once they have entered their bank details , they will click continue .

And now the vendor is successfully registered on your website and they can start adding their products .

This is how a seller can register to your e-commerce website once they are registered on your site .

Now , if they click go to your store dashboard , it will take them to the vendor dashboard .

This is the place where your vendors can see the sales and earnings they have made after your commission .

And if they go here , they will be able to add their products on your website .

Now , if they go here , they can see the number of orders they have received .

Ok .

Now if you see here , we have a message saying account is not yet enabled for selling , which means your venda cannot start selling their products now .

So in order to allow your vendors to sell their products on your site , first , you need to approve them .

So next , let's see how you can approve the vendor's request .

Once the learner has registered on your site , you will receive an email to your admin inbox .

So now if you go to our inbox , you can see that we have got an email about the new vendors registration .

So let's open the mail and here you can see the details of the vendor now to approve this vendor , just click here and it will take you to your dashboard .

Now scroll down .

So here by default , your vendor does not have the access to add products on your website , not to allow the vendors to add products on your site .

Just enable this option .

And now we have given access for the vendor to add their products on our side .

Now , if a vendor tries to add a product on your side , it will not be directly added on your side .

The product will be under pending and you need to approve it manually .

Now , instead of approving each product manually , if you want to directly publish the vendors product on your side , you can enable this option once you have enabled this option , click update .

So now we have successfully accepted the vendor's request and approved them to sell products on our website .

Ok .

Once you approve their account , your vendor can now start adding their products on your site .

So next , so let's go to step four where we see how your vendors can add their products to your website .

So to add their product first , they need to log in to their dashboard .

So to log in , let's go to our website .

Now click account here .

They need to enter the login details which they have selected while creating their account .

So let's enter the login details and click log in .

So now we are logged in into the vendor's dashboard .

Now to add the products , all you have to do is just click products and then click add new product .

Now here enter the name of the product and then enter its prize .

Now to add the product images , they can click here and then drag an image from their computer and drop it here and select the product category and add a small description about the product here .

Once they have added the product details , if they click create , you can see that the product has been added here and now the vendors product will be published on your website .

So to check that , let's go to our product page here .

You can see that this is the product which we have added before .

No free click of the fresh .

You can see that we now have the product which was added by the vendor .

So this is how your vendor can add products on your website .

And now anyone who is visiting your website can buy this product .

So next , let's try buying this product from a site like a customer .

Let's look at to God .

Now , here you can see that we have the name of the vendor under the product name .

So let's click , proceed to checkout and fill up these details .

So if they enter the card details and click place order , you can see that the order has been placed and this money will be sent to your Stripe account .

Ok .

Once the order has been placed , the vendor will receive an email about this order .

Now , if you go to the vendor's inbox , you can see that they have received the mail about the order .

And if you open it , we can get all the details about the order here .

We have the name of the product and the customer's address .

So now the vendor can ship the product to the customer after receiving an order , the vendor can also view it from their dashboard .

Now , if they go back to their dashboard and click orders , you can see that we have got the same order here .

Ok .

So now you know how vendors can be notified about new orders .

Next , let's see how your vendor can update the order status after they ship the item .

Let's say the vendor has delivered the product to the customer .

Once it is shipped , they can change the order status from here .

Now , if they click here , the order status has been changed to completed .

Now , if you go to a customer's inbox , you can see that they have received an email about the order completion .

Ok .

Once the vendor has completed the order , they can now request for the withdrawal loan from you .

Now , as the money was sent to your stripe account , you need to make the payments to the vendors for the sales they receive .

Next .

Let's see how your vendor can request for the money after they complete the order .

So to request for the money , all they have to do is just click withdraw .

Now , once the commission amount is given to the admin , the vendors can check their remaining balance here .

Now to withdraw the money , just enter the amount here , then click submit request .

Once they submit the request , you will receive an email about the request to your inbox .

So if you go to your inbox and open the email , you can see the request from your vendor .

Once you have got this request now to approve your vendor's request , just click here and it will take you to this page where you can see the vendor's bank details .

So you can now send the money to your vendor using these details .

Once you have sent the money , just click here to approve the request and the vendor will receive an email about the approval .

So if you go to your vendors inbox , you can see that they have received the mail about the order .

And if you open it , they received the mail about the approval .

So this is how your vendor can request for payment and get paid for their sales .

Now , if the vendor goes to their dashboard , they can see their earnings from Europe once you have sent the money to your vendor .

Now , if you go to your wordpress dashboard and click ton , you can see the earnings from the vendor .

This is how you can know the commission that you receive from all the product sales .

So now you know how a vendor can sell their products on your website .

Now , let's say you want to disable a vendor from your site .

How can you do that ?

Now , if you want to disable a vendor from your site , just click vendors here .

You can see the list of vendors who are active on your site .

Let's say you want to remove this vendor , just click here to disable them and the vendors products will be removed from your website .
