The first step is to define understand kinds of uses who will be accessing the marketplace and their restrictions in the system.

MARKETPLACE ADMIN

SELLERS

Sellers are the registered users of the marketplace who wish to sell their products on the portal. The sellers are responsible for uploading the products, managing their inventories, images, description and processing the orders placed by the buyers.

B2C MultiVendor Marketplace Setup

The starting point of setting a successful b2c multivendor marketplace ecommerce store is to provide information about your marketplace business and prepare it for the niche you wish to target.

Marketplace Profile Setup

The system allows the marketplace’s admin to create a profile of the portal by filling in the required details like name of the company, complete address, GSTIN number, email address and other details which will be displayed on the invoices.

Category Creation (Root/Main/Sub)

The system allows the admin to create categories & sub-categories thru his back-end panel under which the products are uploaded by the Vendor. The system allows the admin to create 3 levels of categories i.e. Root, Main & Sub.

The category structure tree is displayed in the admin panel with the root categories at the top followed by the main & sub-categories. The admin can create as many additional Main & Sub-categories as needed under the root category.

While creating a new category, the admin needs to define the category name, URL, Category Banner Image & Icon, Commission associate with that category and other required information.

Category Specific Commission Percentage Setup

The admin thru his panel has an option to define commission percentage against every category created in the system. While creating a category, the admin can define the commission percentage which will be charged from the seller upon a successful order placed for the products belonging to that category. The commission percentage can vary according to different product categories and can be modified at any instance of time thru the admin panel.

Seller Specific Commissions Percentage for Categories

The system allows the admin to define both category specific commission percentage as well as seller specific commission percentages.

The admin while approving a seller registration form is allowed to define commission against that seller for every category listed in the system. In case the admin does not define any commission against a seller, the global commission/category specific commission will be applicable for that seller by default.

Email Templates

The system includes pre-created email templates for the default emails which are to be sent to the buyer automatically thru the system upon every operations that happens in the system

The admin thru his panel can see the list of all the email templates available in the system. The content of every template can be modified by the admin at any instance of time.

Besides, the default email templates include the marketplace’s logo and other store information.

Static Content Page Manager

The admin using the static content page manager section can define the sorting order, unique URL of the pages and can even toggle to display/hide the pages from the buyer & seller sections of the website.

Coupon & Discount Code Engine

Using the Coupon & Discount Code Engine Promotions admin can set a full store promotion that will allow him to offer first purchase discounts, free shipping discounts and flat percentage based discounts on all the items of the website.

Product Attribute Creation (Price Dependent)

Product attributes are additional characteristics of a product such as Colour, Brand, Size, Gender etc. This module allows the admin to create attributes and then define the values against the created attribute.

These attributes once associated with a product are displayed on the website homepage and can be used by the buyer to filer the relevant products during his search.

During the product uploading process, the seller can associate these attributes against a product. Once these price defining attributes are associated with a product, the system allows the seller to define the varying price of the product based on those values of the attribute.

For e.g. if the seller is uploading a Shirt with multiple sizes i.e. S, M & L. While adding the product prices, the seller will have an option to define varying price of the Shirt based on the sizes i.e. every size might have a different price.

Product Type & Attribute Association

Product types are groups of products which share the same set of attributes.

The admin thru his panel has an option to create product types from his panel and associate a group of attributes with the same. This helps the vendor during the product uploading process i.e. as the vendor selects the product type while uploading a product, he is displayed only the relevant set of attributes which are associated with the selected product type.

Custom Attribute Creation

This module allows the marketplace admin to create custom attributes from his panel. These attributes can be used by the vendors during the process of product uploading.

While uploading a product, the vendor associates the attributes with the product and these attributes are then displayed on the website front on the category listing page as well as on the product details page.

Admin thru his panel can Add/Delete/Modify the custom attributes at any point of time.

Product Based Coupon Codes

The system allows the admin to create coupon codes which can be used by the buyers during the checkout process. The discount coupons can offer a fixed monetary value or percentage discount. The admin while creating a discount coupon can associate the same with a specific product/products which is pre-listed on the portal.

For e.g. If the admin wishes to offer a discount of 10% on a specific pair of shoes, he can create a coupon code with 10% discount value and associate the same with the pair of shoe upon which the discount is to be offered. The coupon code thus will be restricted for the same pair of shoes and the buyer will not be able to use that coupon code on any other product.

Theme Customizations

This module allows the admin to add/edit/modify the static images of the portal like the homepage banner images. Admin using this functionality can add new images or delete existing static banner images. Also the admin can display/hide or manage the sorting order of the images which are already uploaded in the panel.

Coupon Code Splash

This module allows the admin to create a coupon-code splash which pop-ups on the website’s homepage as the buyer lands on the website.

While creating a coupon code splash, the admin defines an images and a pre-created coupon code which is to be displayed on the pop-up window. Along with the this, the admin also defines a time (in sec) after which the pop-up window will splash on the homepage.

This modules allows the admin to inform/showcase latest offers to the buyers to boost sales and increase the revenues.

3rd party Live Chat Functionality

The system is pre-integrated with 3rd party Live Chat modules like Zopim, Olark, Tawk.to, ZohoSales IQ. They have free plans with single chat agent which you can subscribe to and can use on the website.

We are pre-integrated with almost each payment gateway operational in India and we also assist our clients in signing up with payment gateway providers. Supported payment gateway include EBS, PayU, Citrus, Zaakpay, PayPal, CCAvenue, ICICI PaySeal, HDFC Gateway, RazorPay etc.

Server Output Caching

With this process the full source code of the web-pages i.e. the HTML and the scripts that the server sends to the browser for rendering are stored in the output cache. So, when a visitor views a page, the server caches the output code in the applications memory and the same page can be viewed by the visitor using the cached output until the cache expires.

This eventually increases the page performance & speed.

Free CDN Network Supported (via Cloudflare)

A Content Delivery Network (CDN) shortens the path which an information has to travel between the server and the end user. A CDN is a network of servers, rather than a single server, with locations in multiple geographic locations. When a user accesses a website, information is pulled from the server location closest to them. This results in a faster flow of data and quick loading of website’s images, videos & content.

We provide a free CDN Network support via Cloudflare.com.

Special Character Support in Bulk Import

During the product’s bulk uploading process using CSV files, the system supports the upload of special characters which are included in the product’s title, description and other fields.

GST Ready

This Sitemap allows a webmaster to inform Google about URL’s of the website that are available for crawling. This allows search engines to crawl the site more efficiently and to find URLs that may be isolated from rest of the site's content.

Canonical URL for Products/Categories/Static Pages

Canonical URL’s are important from an SEO point of view. Canonical URL’s are the search engine friendly URLs that represents the master copy of a page.

The system automatically creates Canonical URL’s of the products, categories and the static content pages as and when a new page is created by the admin.
