WooCommerce Product Vendors
WooCommerce Product Vendors adds marketplace workflows to a WooCommerce store. Store owners can approve vendors, assign products, control commission rules, and choose manual or supported PayPal payout processes. It suits stores that want vendors to manage products while the owner retains control of checkout and marketplace settings.

Overview
This extension is designed for a store owner who wants multiple sellers operating through one WooCommerce checkout rather than separate storefronts. Existing products can be assigned to vendors, while approved vendors can manage products through the WordPress administration area. Vendor pages and selected vendor details can be shown alongside normal shop content, giving shoppers context about who is selling an item. The main operational trade-off is central control. Customer payments continue through the store’s payment gateways, and commissions are calculated according to store-, vendor-, or product-level rules. Payouts can be handled manually, while automated schedules depend on PayPal Payouts and the required account approval. Before launch, test vendor permissions, product approval, shipping behavior, refunds, customer-data access, and payout timing on staging. The documentation also identifies limits around frontend product submission, vendor product import/export, booking resources, and refund tracking, so the extension is better suited to a marketplace with a defined administrative process than a completely hands-off platform.
Assign existing products to vendors and allow approved vendors to add or edit products through the WordPress administration area.
