description Dokan Overview

Dokan is a multi-vendor e-commerce plugin designed specifically for WordPress, enabling users to transform a standard WooCommerce store into a marketplace. It allows multiple independent vendors to create accounts, list their own products, and manage their inventory and orders from dedicated frontend dashboards. The marketplace administrator retains control over the platform layout, vendor approvals, and commission rates on each sale. It is widely used by entrepreneurs looking to build scalable online marketplaces.

help Dokan FAQ

Does Dokan require WooCommerce?

Yes. Dokan is a WordPress marketplace plugin that turns a WooCommerce store into a multi-vendor marketplace, so WooCommerce is part of its normal setup.

What can vendors manage inside a Dokan marketplace?

Vendors can create products, manage inventory, process orders, configure shipping, and view earnings from their own dashboard. The administrator can manage vendors, commissions, and marketplace-wide settings from WordPress.

Can Dokan automatically calculate marketplace commissions?

Dokan supports commission rules that can be applied when vendors make sales. The administrator can use those rules to retain a marketplace share while the vendor receives the remaining earnings.

How is Dokan different from running a normal single-seller WooCommerce store?

A standard WooCommerce store usually has one seller, while Dokan adds separate vendor accounts, storefronts, dashboards, and order responsibilities. It is designed for an Amazon-style or eBay-style marketplace structure rather than a single catalog owner. [Dokan](https://dokan.co/wordpress/)
