What a marketplace adds to Odoo eCommerce
Standard Odoo eCommerce sells your own products. A marketplace lets other sellers list products on your website, ship their own orders and pay you a commission on every sale, just like Daraz or Amazon on a smaller scale.
The building blocks
- Seller signup with documents and approval
- Seller dashboard to manage products, stock and orders
- Orders split per seller, each with its own shipping and tracking
- Commission rules per seller or category
- Seller wallet, waiting period for returns and payouts
- Public shop pages and reviews from verified buyers
How the money flows
The customer pays you for the whole cart. Each seller's share, minus your commission, goes into their wallet and becomes available after the return period. Sellers request a payout, you transfer the money and record the reference.
Tips for launching
- Start with 5 to 10 trusted sellers in one category
- Keep product approval on at the beginning
- Publish clear seller terms and a return policy
- Promote seller shop pages to bring traffic
