Request a demoIf your goal is to give visibility to artisans, niche creators, or local shops you admire and want to support, you should not be held back by complex software or endless technical challenges.
With Garnet, you can launch a simple, intuitive marketplace similar to Etsy, with easy onboarding for both vendors and customers.
Our platform handles the infrastructure, integrations, and setup with dedicated support and help from our team, so you can focus on what truly matters: building strong relationships with your vendors and serving your community of buyers.
One of the biggest competitive advantages of a marketplace is the ability to give sellers visibility they could never achieve alone. This is especially true for artisans and small local shops whose reach rarely extends beyond their hometown.
Etsy is the perfect example: a platform that shines a light on independent creators while offering a great experience for both buyers and sellers.
At Garnet, we have already launched multiple Etsy-clone online marketplaces.
We can also do it for you.

Support is provided by the Garnet team itself. When assistance is needed, marketplace operators interact with people who understand both the operational realities of running a marketplace and the technical structure of the platform.
Help is available through documentation, in-app messaging, and direct communication to help users manage setup, migrations, and day-to-day questions.
Garnet relies on established third-party providers for payment processing and transaction security. Customer payments are handled through Shopify's checkout, while vendor payouts are managed via Stripe, PayPal, or bank transfers.
This separation ensures that financial operations remain compliant and secure without adding operational overhead for the marketplace.
The platform is maintained and updated by Garnet's technical team. This includes system reliability, performance monitoring, and ongoing feature development.
Marketplace operators do not need to manage hosting, updates, or maintenance tasks, making the platform easy to run, even with a small team, and allowing them to focus on seller acquisition, customer experience, and business growth.
For teams looking to validate a marketplace concept or launch quickly with limited upfront investment, combining Shopify with a multi-vendor marketplace application is an effective approach.
It avoids the cost and complexity of custom development while still providing a scalable foundation that can grow alongside the business.

Garnet is constantly improving their offering, releasing new features and their customer service is some of the best we have received.
Garnet was a breath of fresh air after struggling to get Webkul and other marketplace technologies set up. Garnet is incredibly easy to use for both me as the store owner and my vendors. It's getting new features nearly every week and constantly improving. So glad I found this app!
Garnet Marketplace is a new app but Francois is constantly updating and improving features. His customer service and integration support is next level. He responds to emails quickly and works closely with you to ensure the app is meeting your specific needs. The app is much simpler to set up and easier to navigate (for both ourselves and our vendors) than other marketplace apps we had trialled.
Garnet has been the easiest way to implement a multi-vendor marketplace into my Shopify store. Other marketplace apps like Webkul seemed so daunting to use, but with Garnet, the integration worked seamlessly with my store collections. My vendors have been able to easily track their sales with the user interface, and there was no code involved for getting the app up and running.
Having explored various multi-vendor marketplace solutions, ranging from Dokan to Shopify Multi-vendor, I can confidently say that none surpasses the excellence of Garnet. Garnet simplifies the vendor account setup, product addition, and payment process, creating a user-friendly environment that incentivizes vendors to join your platform. What sets Garnet apart is not only its exceptional...

I had a chat with Paul and François about opening a marketplace and they were available immediately to answer all my questions and even set up a call to talk. Great service!
We tried several multi-vendor apps (Webkul etc) before finding Garnet. Most of the multivendor apps are so difficult for sellers to set up their accounts and list their items. Garnet marketplace is very easy to use as a business owner I wanted the seller UX to be straightforward and easy - and this is what Garnet provides. Francois and Paul are both amazing and helped me set up my market place within 24 hours and have been so supportive.
Ich habe Garnet genutzt und muss sagen, dass es eine super App ist! Das Team, der Support und alles, was dazugehört, sind klasse. Die App bietet viele Möglichkeiten, die im Vergleich zu vielen anderen Anbietern, bei denen alles 0815 ist, wirklich herausstechen. Paul hat mir sehr geholfen zu verstehen, wie die App funktioniert, und bei Fragen per E-Mail kam auch immer prompt eine Antwort mit einer Lösung oder einem Lösungsvorschlag.
We've been using Garnet Marketplace for just over a year, it is the most intuitive tool of its kind. Their team has been incredibly supportive from day one, helping us transform our store into a fully functional multi-vendor marketplace. Francois has been outstanding — quick to respond to any issues, open to feedback, and always willing to implement solutions that meet our needs.
Francois was amazing. He was able to help us with the configuration swiftly. And the app runs like silk now for us. Great add on for anyone seeking to sell others products like a mini Amazon.
Garnet multivendor marketplace has been everything I need it to be. I've tried other apps like WebKul and ShipTurtle, and I wasn't particularly impressed. Garnet values you, is constantly coming out with new features, has great support, and is pretty straight-forward.
Garnet always understand our needs as budding market places and approachable. Quick response time as well.
Great platform, founders are super communicative and willing to help.

Very good customer service, they really listen to you and help you where it's needed. Recommend their app for any marketplaces out there and it's very fast to get up and running.
Unschlagbarer und herzlicher Support. Die beiden Gründer machen gemeinsam den Support und sind offen für jegliche Art von Fragen. Die App ist meiner Meinung nach die fortschrittlichste und derzeit beste Lösung für einen Online Marktplatz im europäischen Raum und darüber hinaus. Und sie werden immer besser. Weiter so!
