The Magento Multi-Vendor Marketplace Extension is a solution that converts your Magento eCommerce store into an online multi-vendor marketplace site. Just like a physical Shopping mall or marketplace where you can invite sellers to open their shop and sell their products. In return to it, you have the option to take commission from the sellers as the rent for the online space you would provide them in your complex (marketplace site).
Marketplace ad-dons on the other hand, are those extensions which add new features and functionalities to the Magento marketplace extension. These features add new opportunities for the marketplace admin and sellers to manage various aspects of the whole marketplace. There are ad-dons for SEO improvement, Conversion Rate Optimization, Product Management, Helpdesk management and much more.
Here in this article, we are going to enlist 3 such marketplace ad-dons that can help you make a strong relationship with your sellers. These extensions provide some extended accessibility options that make the operation of the marketplace shop easier for the sellers. By using these ad-dons, the marketplace admin can create an improved UX for the sellers/merchants/vendors and encourage more sellers to come and register a shop account on the marketplace.
Any seller who wishes to register on a marketplace would first of all want to know if he is doing business with a responsible business on the other side. Not having a seller support system is a clear sign of chances for negligence in seller grievance handling by the marketplace admin. No seller would want to open a shop in a marketplace where they can’t even register their query or complaint if needed.
In this situation a marketplace site can always provide the desired support to its sellers with a seller support system on board. The Marketplace Contact Admin ad-don is one such seller support system that would be liked by your onboard sellers.
It allows a seller to create a query or complaint ticket with the marketplace admin right from the seller dashboard.
Allows admin to check the complaint and queries from all the sellers and reply back repetitively.
The seller or admin might not be logged for the whole time to instantly see the tickets and replies. That’s why, along with the messages on the marketplace interface, the ad-don also sends an email to the seller and admin whenever a new message is received.
This ad-don could be a great extension for the marketplace. With better user experience and seamless seller support, you will have a USP on your marketplace site that will attract more and more Merchants to do business with you.
When we look at the eCommerce competition level in 2017, keeping the sales rate at desired level is a complex task. When everyone in eCommerce market is busy recovering their abandoned carts, new sales generation seems to be a mega task.
However, if you are not able to complete this mega task and keep your marketplace’s conversion rate optimal, you would hardly attract any new seller to your site. Moreover, there are chances that the onboard merchants would also pull their hands back.
In this situation, you need to keep your customers happy by providing every possible facility that can be imagined on an eCommerce store as of now. Happy customers mean more sales, more sales mean happy sellers.
The option for easy returns is one such facility which every eCommerce customer looks out for. You will hardly find an eCommerce customer making a purchase without reading the products return policy of the store. That’s where you need a return management ad-don on your marketplace.
With easy return facility through the ad-don, you can allow your customers to place a return, refund or replacement request directly to the concerned sellers.
The admin and sellers both get notified on a new return request. The sellers can process the return request and can approve/disapprove it based on the marketplace’s return policies.
Now based on your return policies you can use this ad-don to create an ultimate shopping experience on your marketplace. Of course, the customers will like the return and refund facility. Such facilities to the customers can help generate more sells and a good name for your website in the market.
Who doesn’t like the speedy refund management of Amazon on failed for undelivered orders? Despite, I had an undelivered order experience due to courier boy’s mistake, I was happy to place a re-order with Amazon because they refunded me for the undelivered order so fast.
That’s how even a bad shopping experience cannot stop your customers to trust you if you have a recovery plan like easy refund and returns.
Whether you have a run a marketplace site or an inventory based eCommerce store, customer experience is one such thing that will decide the fate of your business. But you cannot expect your website to provide even a decent customer experience when you cannot fulfill the orders on time.
On a marketplace, the failure to fulfill an order on time can happen due to many reasons:
Product was out of stock
Courier service’s mistake
Seller didn’t dispatch the order or time etc.
Whatever be the reason for the failure in product delivery or order fulfillment, the bad name is going to stick on your marketplace; not on the seller. So it’s your job to make sure that sellers are dispatching the orders on time.
Now, that’s a hectic task. Not always but sometimes there might come a situation for a seller when he/she might not be available to fulfill an order received for his product. The reason could be anything:
The seller might have gone on a holiday and he might not have anyone else deployed to manage the marketplace shop till then. The reasons for the holiday could be numerous- recreational or unavoidable circumstances.
In such situation, when the seller would not be available to fulfill the orders, it’s a sure thing that you will lose some happy customers due to this.
How to avoid this?
The Marketplace Seller Vacation Mode Ad-don is the answer. Behind explanation of all these situations, my main aim was to introduce this ad-don as a big problem solver, and it efficiently does that.
This ad-don allows a seller to turn on the vacation mode before going for any such holidays. In this situation:
All the product listing from the particular seller will get hidden from the customers. That is, the customers will not see the products of this seller on the marketplace until he is back from the holiday.
The seller can set an automatic timer to turn off the vacation mode, or can manually do it when he is back from the holiday.
The marketplace admin sees the list of all the sellers who have turned on their vacation mode.
The admin can choose to approve or disapprove a seller’s vacation mode request. That means, the sellers cannot turn on the vacation mode until the admin allows them.
So, admin is still the boss, sellers cannot just go on the vacation every now or then.
Over to you
So, these three features on any marketplace site are definitely the conversion booster and saver as well. The Magento Multi-Vendor Marketplace Extension is backed by many such ad-dons like these. You can have a free demo of both the Admin panel and Front-end interface. Have a tour of the extension as see how it can help you launch a marketplace business of your own.

The idea of using super page checkout is more convincing than the traditional idea where the customers have to be jumped from page to page filling out all the details. The e-sellers can help the customer complete their transaction with minimal effort. Even though the number of fields remains almost the same, the shoppers can view the length of the form left to be filled. This provides them a psychological motivation to complete the transaction.
There are dozens of articles on the topics like “Should you choose a one-page checkout?” “Pros and Cons of One Page Checkout” and so one. Most of these articles effectively address the drawbacks, but it seems like we have been promoting these drawbacks like they are there forever and cannot be taken down anyhow.
Let’s face the truth, every new introduction has some cons for sure. Gradually, with the development and research, these cons fade away for sure.
In this blog, I am going to address 3 such cons of a one-page checkout which we eliminated from our Magento one page checkout extension and also the PrestaShop One page checkout module. Most of these cons were never there in our checkout extension, as we took care of them while in the development and testing phase itself.
One page checkout fixed drawbacks
1. So much of details on a single page? It will be congested
Most of the checkout pages, when introduced in the past, had this problem. It was really a massive task to adjust everything from a multi-page checkout on a single page.
The most problematic challenge was to fit all those checkout elements on a single page and it should provide a full view of the whole checkout page as well. Moreover, all the checkout elements like login, delivery address form, billing address form, payment options, shipping options, and cart review should not overlap with each other, and neither they should overlap on themselves. A lot of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Ajax were needed to be handled to keep the design all fine with the default as well as the third party Magento themes. But we intended to keep them as lesser as possible for faster page loading.
This is what we came up with:
A lot of HTML, CSS, JS, and Ajax were tweaked by our designers to fit all the elements neatly and clearly on a single page and also to keep the page loading time optimal. Moreover, thanks to our designers, after all these, there was sufficient space left to add the Social login option using Facebook and Google+ on our checkout page.
2. The form on the page are congested with no white-spaces and proper label usage
While designing the forms, the main aspects that we were looking for were:
Keeping the forms compact
All the necessary fields should be there
Fields should have proper white-spaces
Labels should not confuse the users
Admin should be able to choose which form field he wants to show on the page to customers.
Labels
Labels were coming out as a major concern here. If we would keep the labels by the side of the respective fields, the horizontal length of the form would give a very less space for the other sections on the page.
We also thought about a form design where we would skip the labels and use Placeholders in place of them. Something like this:
But, there was a problem in that. For considerably long forms like Billing and Address forms, if customer once filled the detail, and the later stage if he would want to re-check them, he would get confused about what actually are these details. Since the placeholder vanishes away as you type in, and there is no label as well, there always remains a confusion if my details are right or wrong.
We didn’t want your customers to get into such confusion and forget the main goal of making a purchase, that’s why we drop the idea. Otherwise, it could have saved a lot of space as well.
Finally, we decided to not to compromise with the user experience anyhow and we adopted the label placement above the fields as shown in this image:
It saved the horizontal space that we needed for other elements and also helped in one another feature which has been discussed below.
The necessary fields
After dealing with the label placement, the last thing in the forms that gave us a nightmare was to include every necessary field in the form. Problem is, the term necessary is quite relative here. A form field which is necessary for one store owner might be of no use to the other.
For example, the VAT number, and Company Name is a necessary field of a store owner who has a B2B selling business. All of your European business clients would also need this field for making the purchases on your store. On the other hand, a store owner who directly sells to the individual consumers would have no use of the fields like VAT Number and Company Name.
How we handled it?
It was a time to open our checkout extension a bit and give the store owners some easy yet crucial development access. We add a feature in our module, using which the admin can easily enable, disable, add, and delete a field from the checkout form. That too, without editing the code. All this can be done from the backend itself.
So, if any of the fields is not usable for a store owner, he can simply hide it with a simple click and save. No need to go through the complex Magento or PrestaShop codes to do this now.
3. Frequent page reload on cart update
Those multi-page checkouts have a dedicated page for editing the shopping carts. It was a challenge for us to include the shopping cart on the checkout page. Customers would frequently update the cart by increasing or decreasing the product counts, removing a product from the cart and so one.
All these requests required a page reload to update all the checkout details and information according to the latest cart status. If a product has been removed from the cart, we needed to update the total cost, cart product quantity, shipping methods and so on with it.
It would have become so irritating for the customers if the checkout page would reload every now and then. This challenge is faced by every one-page checkout development. However, we managed to fix it with the Ajax based shopping cart and form update request.
Now, with Ajax shopping cart and updates, if a customer changes anything in the cart, all the dependent details would get automatically updated without reloading the whole checkout page. Even the customer can apply a coupon code to the cart and page would validate the coupon without being reloaded.
This is how we solved these issues in our checkout extension. You can have a free demo to experience all these features of the extension. Free Demo one page checkout Magento and PrestaShop and OpenCart.
This functionality can be added to a Prestashop site with the help of Prestashop one page super checkout addon. The same extensions are available for Magento, Opencart and other eCommerce platforms as well. Whether you go for the Prestashop addon, Magento extension or OpenCart plugin, it enables the customers to complete their transaction and make the product purchase on the same page. It is one of the best features for reducing the exit rate at the checkout page. The customers are annoyed if they are redirected to lengthy checkout process in order to complete the purchasing. Thus, one-page checkout makes sure that the customers can complete the purchase by filing up all the necessary details in one single page and provides the customers with an easy approach to complete the purchase.

The time has come when no one can deny the role of eCommerce websites in making the life of customers easier. Additionally, eCommerce has provided loads of opportunities for business owners for reaching out even to the remotest places on the planet. B2B eCommerce is one such opportunity provided by the eCommerce world. Although B2B eCommerce market is quite new, it has a very promising future as estimated by the experts. Forrester said in 2009 that B2B eCommerce will grow its value as twice the value of the B2C market, and that’s a huge share.
Since B2B market is having a very promising future, it’s a fact that competition in this segment is also toughest. So, the first question that comes to our mind in this situation is regarding choosing the best eCommerce platform for facilitating a hassle-free B2B business in long run.
The modus operand of B2B and B2C are quite different from each other
Magento B2B eCommerce
B2B websites are quite different from regular eCommerce sites and they possess quite complex functionalities for facilitating a hassle free system in long run. If not chosen wisely, it will certainly be a great challenge to shift to any other solution as it involves a large number of direct participants at all levels- Business to Business level as well as Business to Customers level.
Magento was originally originated a B2C platform. Gradually, it was evolved to fulfill the B2B functionalities. Later, the Magento platform acquired even the most complex B2B features that make it a perfect tool to even compete against B2B specific platforms. Let’s take out some very important features of Magento for B2B and find out how it is a wise choice for B2B websites.
Magento fits in the B2B model because of multiple reasons
Extensive Flexibility for customization
Magento possesses a very high affinity for the customizable features. Being an Open source platform and built on very popular PHP programming language, it has a wide base of Magento professionals who can work to customize it in many ways. This affinity and strong base of Magento experts make Magento a perfect option for B2B specific developments.
Magento B2B is comparatively economical than other B2B platforms
Magento is comparatively less expensive when it comes to leveraging its implementation cost and Enterprise license. Other enterprise-level B2B solutions like IBM and Oracle come out as far more expensive than Magento for B2B solutions. Moreover, due to a massive base of Magento developers, freelancers, and Magento development companies Magento provides a good bargain power to the Magento services seekers.
Large number of already developed Magento B2B solutions
Now, it’s known that Magento is a master of a huge community of users, developers, freelancers and business owners, third party Magento developers are always ready with pre-developed solutions to make the customization quick, and less expensive. For example, Magento multi-vendor marketplace extension is a third party Magento extension that converts a Magento store into a marketplace site. This is a perfect example to explain that most of the advanced B2B features can be achieved in Magento without going for customization services. You can always find most of the Magento extensions and install them to extend the functionalities in minutes.
Complex pricing system of B2B market
The B2B market also consists of the wholesalers and manufacturing companies who require a more complex and advanced pricing system. The pricing system includes individual and group discounts, location and tire-oriented rates, prices based on sales volume etc. This massive flexibility in pricing system cannot be handled by a simple eCommerce platform. Therefore Magento for B2b fits the best here as it provides a wide flexibility to decide the pricing based on all these factors. It is a perfect platform to handle the business from Wholesale and Manufacturer market.
Order fulfillment in B2B websites
Magento possesses a very robust order management system which allows the admin to track every order in a single view. Clicking on each individual orders show a detailed information including order status, payment information, pending payment details, pending order details, processed orders and much more. The invoicing system is also highly flexible and you can send invoices to your customers from the back end order management interface itself. On, the whole Magento for B2B gives you the control and flexibility to showcase a very strong and error free B2B experience to your customers.
Anyway, the nearest future is looking forward to growing exponentially in terms of B2B eCommerce business. For this, you will need a tool by your side that will support your business in a long run. Magento for B2B is a solution that is worth paying attention to.
