Frequently asked questions

Find answers to your questions about multi-vendor marketplaces and our platform features.
What is a multi vendor marketplace?

A multi vendor marketplace is an ecommerce website that allows many sellers to list and sell products in one storefront. Each vendor manages their own products, inventory, and fulfillment. Customers can shop across sellers and check out in a single order. This model is used by large marketplaces like Amazon and Etsy, but is also growing in niche industries.

How is a multi vendor marketplace different from a regular ecommerce site?

A regular ecommerce site sells products from one company. A multi vendor marketplace connects buyers with multiple independent sellers. As the marketplace operator, you don’t hold inventory. You run the platform. Sellers handle their own stock and shipping. You provide the tools they need to succeed. This model gives you more reach, more product variety, and more growth potential with less overhead. A good multi vendor ecommerce platform like Nautical Commerce makes this setup easy to manage.

Do I need to hire developers to build a marketplace with Nautical Commerce?

No. Nautical is a no-code multi vendor marketplace platform built to remove technical barriers. You don’t need a development team or months of setup time. Our multi vendor marketplace platform includes everything you need to launch fast: a storefront builder, seller tools, payment integrations, order tracking, and more. If your business grows and you want deeper customization, Nautical supports headless capabilities, too.

How does Nautical Commerce support my sellers?

Sellers are the backbone of every successful multi vendor marketplace. That’s why Nautical makes it easy for them to get started and stay active in your marketplace. Sellers can sign up, upload products in bulk, and track performance through their own portal. You can automate payouts, set custom commission rules, and give sellers clear updates on orders and earnings. With a marketplace platform like Nautical, seller management is built in from day one. You can grow supply without adding complexity.

Can customers buy from more than one seller in one order? 

Yes. Nautical’s multi vendor checkout lets buyers add products from different sellers into a single cart and complete one transaction. There’s no need to split orders or go through checkout multiple times. This feature increases conversion and improves the buyer experience. It’s a must-have for any modern multi vendor ecommerce store.

What payment tools does Nautical support?

Nautical connects with trusted payment providers like Stripe, PayPal, and Trolley to help you manage commissions, payouts, and vendor earnings. You can set custom fees, handle split payments, and track transactions from your dashboard. Our payment orchestration platform lets you take advantage of multiple payment options to make the checkout
