Launch in days, not months
Custom marketplace development runs into five or six figures and months of work. With Garnet, the vendor layer installs onto your existing Shopify store, so a working marketplace can be live in days.
Marketplace software for multi-vendor stores
Turn your Shopify store into a multi-vendor marketplace. Onboard sellers, sync their products, split payments, and pay out automatically.
What is marketplace software?
Marketplace software runs an online marketplace where many independent vendors list and sell through one storefront. It handles the parts a single-store platform does not: vendor accounts, product sync, order splitting, commissions, and payouts. Garnet adds all of this to Shopify, so you launch a working multi-vendor marketplace in days instead of building from scratch.
One distinction first, because the search results mix two things. This page is about software to build your own marketplace, not software-procurement marketplaces like AWS Marketplace where you buy other companies' apps. If you want to run the marketplace and take a commission on every sale, you are in the right place.
Garnet Marketplace, a Shopify multi-vendor marketplace app, powers live marketplaces in more than 60 countries, including MadeIt in Australia and TheBradery. You keep Shopify's checkout and theme; Garnet supplies the vendor layer on top.
What marketplace software has to do
A regular ecommerce platform sells your own stock. Marketplace software adds the vendor side. Here is what that means in practice, and where Garnet handles it.
| Marketplace job | Plain Shopify | Shopify + Garnet |
|---|---|---|
| Vendor onboarding and accounts | Not included | Self-serve sign-up, approval, and per-vendor dashboards |
| Product and inventory sync | Manual, one store only | Vendors sync from Shopify, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, CSV, or API |
| Order splitting | Single fulfilment | One customer order splits to the right vendors automatically |
| Commissions and payouts | Not included | Percentage or fixed fees, automated payouts via Stripe, PayPal, Mollie |
| Hosting and maintenance | You manage it | Handled by Garnet and Shopify, no servers to run |

Marketplace software questions
Choosing a platform to run a multi-vendor marketplace? Here are the answers operators ask us most.
Ask a Question-
01
What is the best marketplace software for a Shopify store?
If you already run Shopify, the best marketplace software is a multi-vendor app that adds vendor accounts, product sync, order splitting, commissions, and payouts on top of your existing checkout. Garnet, Shipturtle, and Webkul are the main options. Garnet and Shipturtle sync vendors who run their own stores.
-
02
What is the difference between ecommerce and marketplace software?
An ecommerce platform sells your own inventory from one seller. Ecommerce marketplace software lets many independent vendors list on the same storefront, then routes each order, tracks per-vendor stock, takes a commission, and pays sellers out. Garnet turns a single-vendor Shopify store into that multi-vendor marketplace.
-
03
Do I need to build marketplace software from scratch?
No. A custom build costs five or six figures and months of development plus ongoing maintenance. A marketplace platform software layer like Garnet installs onto Shopify and gives you the same vendor features in days, with hosting and updates handled for you.
-
04
How much does marketplace software cost?
Hosted marketplace apps run from roughly $15 to $300 per month, while custom builds and self-hosted licenses cost far more upfront. Garnet starts on the Shopify App Store with a free trial; managed plans are priced by product volume or revenue share. See the pricing page for details.
-
05
Can vendors sync products from their own online stores?
Yes. Vendors connect an existing Shopify, WooCommerce, or PrestaShop store, upload a CSV, or use the API, and their products and stock stay in sync with your marketplace automatically. This is the integration most competing marketplace solutions do not provide.
-
06
Can I white-label the marketplace with my own brand?
Yes. You can run a fully white-labeled marketplace where vendors and customers only see your name, logo, colors, and domain, with no mention of Garnet anywhere on the platform.
