The multi-vendor edition of WebGenie Shopping Cart will allow different vendors to sell online through a single, secure online store. Each vendor has own separate products, orders, shipping options and more.
While a normal shopping cart sends the order to one destination, the multi vendor shopping cart can distinguish between the items belonging to different vendors and dispatch the orders and shipping details separately to the respective vendors. The customers will not even know that they have been to three separate stores.
Entrepreneur's opportunity
The multi vendor store is an entrepreneur's opportunity.
Even if you do not have your own merchandize to sell,
setting up a multi vendor shopping cart and signing up
merchants will help create a "virtual mall". The
participating merchants benefit in the low cost of setting
up and administering the store while the store administrator
gets a commission or rent. With a wide variety of products,
the multi vendor store can attract more visitors than each
separate store can on its own.
