Running a marketplace is a completely different ball game from running a single store. Litekart's Multi-Vendor plugin gives you vendor onboarding, commission management, individual vendor dashboards, and payout controls - all built in from day one. You don't need to wire up separate tools or write custom code.
Enabling it takes about 60 seconds. Here's exactly how.
How to enable Multi-Vendor
Sign in to your Litekart account and land on your admin dashboard at admin.litekart.in/dash. If you don't have an account yet, signing up is free.
Look for the Plugins option in your left navigation panel - it sits near the bottom alongside Shipping, Payment Methods, and Webhooks.
Inside the Plugins page, use the search bar to find "Multi Vendor". You'll see the plugin card - hit the Activate button on the right and you're done.
Once activated, do a quick page refresh. Litekart re-registers the plugin's routes and menu items on reload - this is what makes the new options appear in your sidebar.
Head to the Users section in the sidebar. You should now see Vendors, Teams, and Groups as sub-items. That's your confirmation the plugin is live and working.
Vendors, Teams and Groups appear under Users once the plugin is active.
What you unlock
Activating Multi-Vendor isn't just flipping a switch - it opens up a whole layer of the platform that was sitting there waiting. Here's what becomes available:
Sellers apply, you approve. Manage their profiles and storefronts from one place.
Set platform-wide or per-vendor commission rates. You decide what cut you take.
Process vendor payouts on your schedule - automated or manual, your call.
Each vendor gets their own panel to manage products, view orders, and track earnings.
💡 Good to know: The Multi-Vendor plugin is non-destructive. If you ever deactivate it, your existing products and orders are untouched. Vendor data is preserved too - nothing gets deleted.
That's your marketplace - ready in under a minute
Most platforms charge a premium tier or require a separate SaaS tool to run a multi-vendor setup. With Litekart, it's a plugin activation away. From there you can onboard your first vendor, set your commission rate, and go live - all from the same admin panel you already know.
