" class="cvx-preview-img image-reveal">Vendora is a complete multi-vendor marketplace plugin for Easy Digital Downloads. It transforms your EDD-powered WordPress store into a fully featured digital marketplace where multiple vendors can register, list products, track earnings, and request payouts — all from a dedicated frontend dashboard. If you are looking to build a multi-vendor marketplace without monthly SaaS fees or per-transaction cuts, Vendora gives you full ownership for a Yearly price of $49.
What Vendora Does
Easy Digital Downloads is the most trusted platform for selling digital products on WordPress. Vendora extends it with a complete vendor ecosystem — giving each seller their own storefront, dashboard, commission tracking, and automatic payouts via PayPal or Stripe. Built by the team at Teconce, Vendora is the missing multi-vendor marketplace layer for EDD-powered stores. No SaaS fees. No per-transaction cuts. Full ownership.
Multi-Vendor Marketplace Features
Everything your digital marketplace needs — out of the box, no expensive add-ons required.
Vendor Registration & Approval
Accept vendor applications manually or set auto-approval. New registrations go through a customizable registration form built with the drag-and-drop Registration Form Builder.
Frontend Vendor Dashboard
Vendors manage everything from the frontend — products, orders, earnings, withdrawals, reviews, support tickets, and settings — without needing wp-admin access.
Flexible Commission System
Set a global commission rate, then override it per product, per vendor, or automatically via tiered rules based on total sales volume. Commission priority order:
- Per-product rate
- Per-vendor rate
- Tier-based rate
- Global default
Commission Tiers
Create tiers with a minimum sales threshold and a corresponding rate. A daily background job automatically upgrades vendors to the right tier as their sales grow.
Earnings Hold Period
Newly earned commissions are held for a configurable number of days (default: 7) to cover potential refunds. An hourly cron job releases earnings to “Withdrawable” status when the hold period ends.
Automatic Payouts — PayPal & Stripe
Approve a withdrawal and Vendora fires the payout automatically. No manual transfers needed.
Vendor Storefronts
Each vendor gets a public store page with banner, logo, bio, social links, product listings, ratings, achievement badges, and a real-time chat bubble.
Ratings & Reviews
Customers rate vendors on their store pages. Ratings are displayed on the storefront and inside the vendor dashboard.
Achievement Badges
Reward top vendors automatically or manually with custom badges displayed on their dashboard and public storefront.
Real-Time Vendor Chat
A floating chat widget on vendor store pages lets customers message vendors instantly. Vendors manage all conversations from the Messages tab in their dashboard.
Referral Program
Each vendor gets a unique referral link. When a referred person joins as a new vendor, the referrer earns a bonus commission on that vendor’s first sale.
Dispute Management
Vendors can challenge commissions they believe are incorrect. Admins review, add resolution notes, and close disputes with one click. Both parties are notified automatically.
Support Ticket System
Vendors submit help requests directly from their dashboard. Admins manage all tickets from the Vendora admin area — no third-party helpdesk required.
Admin Analytics
Visual marketplace-wide reports: total revenue over time, commission breakdowns, top-selling vendors, and sales trends — powered by Chart.js and loaded via AJAX.
Product Form Builder
Drag and drop to customize which fields vendors see when creating products — title, description, price, version, demo URL, file upload, categories, tags, and more.
Webhooks & REST API
Push events to Zapier, Slack, or custom apps via webhooks. Full REST API available under vendora/v1/ for products, orders, earnings, and withdrawals.
Multi-Vendor Marketplace Payment Gateways
Vendora supports two automatic payout methods so your multi-vendor marketplace pays vendors without any manual work from you.
PayPal Payouts
Uses the PayPal Payouts API v1. Funds are sent directly to the vendor’s PayPal email address — no OAuth required from the vendor side. Supports 25+ currencies. Full sandbox mode for safe testing before going live. PayPal Payouts API Docs →
Stripe Connect
Uses Stripe Connect Standard/Express with transfers via the Stripe API. Funds appear in the vendor’s Stripe dashboard instantly (subject to their bank payout schedule). Supports 135+ currencies. Full test mode support. Stripe Connect Docs →
Scheduled Auto-Payouts
Under Vendora → Settings → Withdrawals, configure weekly or monthly auto-processing. Vendora will automatically approve and pay all pending withdrawal requests on schedule — no admin action needed.

Modular Architecture — Enable Only What You Need
