Description
Storefold lets other sellers open their own store inside your WooCommerce shop. Sellers apply, you approve them, and they manage their products and orders from a clean dashboard on the front of your site. Customers check out once; every seller receives only their part of the order and you keep a commission.
Everything is explained inside the plugin: each setting has a short description and a link to the built-in Help and docs screen.
For marketplace owners
- Vendor applications with manual or automatic approval, optional seller terms checkbox, and spam protection.
- Add vendors yourself, approve, suspend, reject or delete them one by one or in bulk.
- Automatic order splitting: one checkout for the customer, one sub-order per vendor with its share of shipping. Parent and sub-order statuses stay in sync.
- Commission as a percentage, a fixed amount per item, or both, with a live example while you type.
- Choose whether shipping and tax go to you or to the vendor.
- Earnings become available when the order is completed or paid, and refunds take the matching amount back automatically.
- An append-only ledger for every vendor with manual balance adjustments.
- Withdrawals by PayPal or bank transfer with a minimum amount.
- Commissions screen with filters and CSV export.
- Marketplace overview with monthly numbers, a “needs your attention” list and health checks.
- Five marketplace emails registered as WooCommerce emails, with editable text, placeholders and previews.
- “Sold by” labels on product pages, shop listings, cart, checkout (classic and block) and orders.
- Vendor column in the Products list.
- Announcements to all vendors.
- Setup wizard and full built-in documentation.
- HPOS (custom order tables) and Cart and Checkout block compatible.
For vendors
- A step-by-step application form that creates the account at the same time.
- A responsive dashboard that adapts to any theme: overview with setup checklist, products, orders, coupons, earnings, payouts, announcements and settings.
- Simple and variable products with per-variation price, sale price, SKU and stock, gallery images and downloadable files.
- Orders with status updates and shipping tracking shown to the customer.
- Coupons limited to their own products.
- Earnings download: vendors export their own sales and earnings as a CSV file, with an optional date range.
- Store page at /store/store-name/ with banner, logo, policies, products and reviews.
- Vacation mode with a custom message.
Privacy and security
- Vendors never see wp-admin and only see their own media uploads.
- Every form uses nonces and capability checks; every database query is prepared.
- Vendor data is included in the WordPress personal data export and erase tools.

-
No. The customer pays once and sees one order. Vendor sub-orders are created in the background and hidden from the customer account.
-
How does a vendor get paid?
-
The vendor requests a withdrawal from their dashboard. You send the money by PayPal or bank transfer and mark the request as paid under Storefold, Withdrawals.
-
What happens on a refund?
-
Refund from the vendor order in WooCommerce as usual. The vendor earning for the refunded items is reversed in their ledger automatically.
-
Can I change the look of the vendor pages?
-
Yes. Copy any file from the plugin
templatesfolder toyourtheme/storefold/and edit the copy. -
Where do I edit the emails?
-
Under WooCommerce, Settings, Emails. Each marketplace email has editable subject, heading and body text with placeholders.
-
Can vendors use wp-admin?
-
No. Vendors work from the Vendor Dashboard page on the front of the site.
-
Is it compatible with High-Performance Order Storage?
-
Yes. All order access uses the WooCommerce CRUD layer.

Can vendors export their sales?
