CS-Cart Multi-Vendor

Yes, CS-Cart Multi-Vendor includes a feature that allows each approved vendor to design and manage their own independent storefront within the main marketplace. Vendors can apply unique themes, banners, and product layouts while still utilizing the central checkout system. This creates an experience similar to platforms like Etsy or Amazon, where individual brands have distinct pages.

When a customer purchases items from multiple vendors in one order, the payment is initially collected by the marketplace administrator. The admin can then use the built-in payout system to distribute the funds to the respective vendors via PayPal or Stripe, minus the marketplace commission. This ensures the platform owner maintains control over refunds and financial disputes.

Yes, the platform supports over 70 pre-integrated payment gateways out of the box, including Stripe, PayPal, Authorize.net, and regional options like Mollie. For marketplaces, it also supports adaptive payment solutions that can automatically split payments between the platform and the vendor at the time of checkout. Developers can also integrate custom APIs if a specific local gateway is required.
