Hi,
There is no WordPress E-Commerce Plugin available that supports Multi-Vendor on Single Site installation. Thereby I would like to see some feature in one of the next Marketplace updates.
It should work like marketplaces such Themeforest or Codecanyon:
- User is able to submit (digital) products to a single store front.
- When a new product is submitted, admin needs to verify it.
- All payments are collected by the site owner.
- Site owner is able to export commission payments into a text file for PayPal Mass Payment
- There should be an option to set commission ranges. For example:
0-100 sales: Commission 50%
100 - 200 sales: Commission 70%
200 - 500 sales: Commission 85% ...
It's very important to have it working on a single site wp.
Hope there are some other members that miss the mentioned features.

Hi DanOne,
Sounds like a good idea really, though it would require quite an extensive restructuring of MarketPress I would think.
Let's see what others think of this though, as I know there's been a couple requests made via email regarding it so I'm guessing there's some interest in it.

Thank you, DanOne, for making this request. I absolutely need this for what I'm doing. My business model relies on it!
I have an educational site. I want different teachers to offer their own courses right on the site. I want everybody's courses to show up together when you click on the Courses tab. I'm trying out Marketpress.
I don't want each teacher to have their own "school" on my site...kind of like other group e-commerce sites where each user has their own "store".
But, I want each teacher to be able to enter in their own paypal address, and for me to pay them all (minus the site's fee) once a month. It would be nice if these payments were made automatically, but I guess I'm okay with making the payments manually until something better comes along.
An addition to DanOne's suggestion:
User is able to submit (digital) products to a single store front.
I need to give my teachers the option to make their course a one-time download -- so, a digital product like DanOne suggests.
I also need teachers to be able to offer courses in real life, so I need some date/time fields and an integrated google map.
And then (this is way more complicated), I want two different options for conducting class online: A live streaming video/screen capture option, and a pre-recorded/written course where each lesson is made available every x days, just like Digital Access Pass, though DAP is 6-8 months from releasing this type of multi-user option.

Hello all, I would like to know if there is a way to use MarketPress such that:
1. There its only 1 front store, not 1 for each vendor
2. Each vendor has a visible profile
3. Each vendor manage his own products
I personally bought MarketPress because it says "you can use it to start your own Etsy or Ebay style network of stores... where you take a % on each sale!!!", but I've been having problems using it. Please help!!
1. There its only 1 front store, not 1 for each vendor
That is how Wordpress Multisite works, each vendor is going to have their own sub-site/blog no matter what. However you can make one universal storefront by using global short codes on your Main blog's homepage.
2. Each vendor has a visible profile
Use buddypress or make a custom Vendor Profile page and standardize it using New Blog Templates

i love this idea, and would also like the COdecanyon / themeforest clone to be setup. We are providing marketplaces to adult webmasters models, and so on; this would be ideal.

@hpidriver: I think what is desired is: 1 store with multiple providers (vendors) but not individual stores for each vendor. The business model aims to aggregate many "independent" creators operating in 1 site/domain, with the site owner taking a % of sales from each provider/vendor. It permits product grouping across providers/vendors - offering an attractive, integrated and fluid shopping experience for users/consumers, while providing a seamless backend operation for sellers & site operators! This is very distinct from multiple vendors with multiple pages/shops.

Any +1s on this?

I think it should be as plugin instead of putting the function into that theme.

This is how Marketpress is currently.

Is this possible? ....And: How to set up? Thanks.
