Features for Vendors

Vendor stores

Vendor stores are a major part of any marketplace. A store is the focal point of a Vendor’s presence on the marketplace and must showcase the Vendor’s brand, their products and services, their ratings and reviews and their service providers in order to develop trust and drive conversion.

UC Marketplace Marketplace’s flexible Vendor Store design and capability suite delivers on these requirements and more, with beautifully designed stores that can be customized to suit the nature and requirements of your marketplace.

Stores offer different themes to cover service or product type marketplaces.

Vendors get their own stores, a store is linked to a specific vendor business

Vendors can create multiple locations, offices or warehouses under their account

Vendors can sell products, offer services and take enquiries (depending on the marketplace configuration)

Beautiful store layouts include product catalog, service offerings, overview, location details, opening hours and selling policies

Vendors have full control over their store information

Store management

Vendors have full control over their store and can publish business, location and contact information on their store. Vendors can also add logos and change the background banners of their store to highlight specific service or product offerings.

Vendors can create products to sell or services that can be purchased or booked

In services marketplaces, vendors can create professional service providers with calendars to accept bookings or appointments

Vendors get secure access to the admin application with controlled roles (roles are controlled by Marketplace owners)

Vendors can see only their orders within the system (split order)

All vendor earnings, sales data, orders etc. are automatically split and processed by UC Marketplace Marketplace

Order fulfillment

We believe that a powerful marketplace platform must also be easy for Vendors to use. UC Marketplace Marketplace offers a comprehensive management interface for Vendors to receive orders and fulfill their orders with complete control over the pick-and-pack process.

Vendors can print out pick-and-pack slips and can choose to ship individual items within an order or the full order simultaneously.

Each time a change is made to the order, such as when it is ready for shipping and shipped, customers receive notifications, keeping them informed of the fulfillment process.

Vendors will receive email notifications when they receive an order

Orders are automatically split per vendor, so each vendor only sees their portion of the overall order

Drop shipping support, each vendor ships only their component of the order

Orders can be fulfilled independently – i.e. each vendor’s part of the order is tracked independently

Customer receives notification each time a product within the overall order is shipped

Marketing and promotions

UC Marketplace Marketplace brings the power of Magento 2 and its comprehensive promotions and marketing capabilities to a marketplace format. Every vendor on the platform has access to create customized discount and promotional codes that can be triggered automatically based on what a customer purchases, or by inserting a coupon code.

UC Marketplace Marketplace is one of a handful of marketplace platforms to support multiple coupons at checkout, a vital feature that enables individual vendors to offer coupon codes to customers that can be stacked for bigger basket sizes and greater discounts.

Vendor Sub-Vendor

Vendors often require the ability to create multiple users within their account to assist in the administration of their stores on the marketplace such as Product Management, Order Management, Finance Management, Sales Personnel to respond to quote requests etc.

The Sub-Vendor Account enables Marketplace Owners to define specific features that are available to each Sub-Vendor User Role to create customized Vendor User Roles for the marketplace.

Vendors can then create Sub-Vendors under their account for these specific roles.

The Sub-Vendor feature is now a default feature in UC Marketplace V2 and V4.

Marketplace Owners can create multiple unique Sub-Vendor User Roles

Vendors can create Sub-Vendor accounts under their Vendor Store account

Sub Vendors can login and manage specific aspects of the Vendor Marketplace Store relevant to them – including product management, quote responses, finance management etc.
