One merchant per shop
Products, customers, orders, Stripe settings and administration belong to the shop operating that storefront.
Marketplace or individual shop?
Choose software for the selling model you actually operate.
A multi-vendor marketplace recruits several independent sellers, splits responsibilities and often routes money between parties. A single-merchant shop sells one business’s catalogue under one brand.
Multiple administrators
A shop owner can invite administrators to help manage the same merchant business.
Multiple fulfilment routes
Products can use stock locations and fulfilment-provider settings without turning suppliers into marketplace vendors.
What real multi-vendor software must handle
Marketplace systems typically need seller onboarding, commissions, split payments, vendor-level permissions, individual statements, disputes and seller payouts. Those are different requirements from running one retailer’s online shop.
What Vilarina handles instead
Vilarina focuses on one merchant’s catalogue, variants, personalisation, inventory, delivery, customers, payments and orders. Team members can administer the shop, and fulfilment partners can receive relevant order information.
Do not force the wrong platform
If independent vendors must log in, manage their own catalogues and receive split payouts, choose dedicated marketplace software. If one business owns the products and customer relationship, Vilarina may be the simpler fit.
