VendMart ships with the tools to run any combination of these revenue models — mix and match as your marketplace grows.
Take a percentage of every vendor sale — set a global rate or negotiate per vendor.
e.g. $50 order × 10% = $5 per sale
Charge sellers a recurring fee for a storefront and access to your marketplace audience.
e.g. $29/month per active vendor
Let vendors pay to feature products or their store in premium placement on the storefront.
e.g. $15 per product, per week
Add a small processing fee at checkout, layered on top of payment gateway costs.
e.g. 1.5% platform fee per order
Payment gateways and a standard, well-supported hosting stack — no proprietary lock-in.
