Description
Multivendor Marketplace for SAP Commerce Cloud is an SAP Commerce Cloud connector that turns one store into a multi seller marketplace.
Sellers create their own shops and list products. The admin adds sellers and tracks their sales.
The connector works with B2B and B2C Accelerator Storefronts. Admin and sellers each get a dedicated panel.
Commission can be global, or set for each seller, category, or product. PayPal handles seller payouts.
Products can be uploaded through CSV files by both sides. Invoices and event based emails come with the connector.
Additionally, if you want a marketplace on another platform, then check Magento 2 Multi Vendor Marketplace Extension.
Highlighted Features of Multivendor Marketplace for SAP Commerce Cloud
Dedicated Seller Panels
Every seller gets a separate panel to manage products, orders, and sales, with analytics for the admin as well.
Four Commission Types
Set commission by product, category, seller, or globally, using percentage, fixed, or mixed formulas.
B2B and B2C Support
The connector is configured for both B2B and B2C Accelerator Storefronts on SAP Commerce Cloud.
Product Approval Control
Approve seller products by hand or use auto approval, and allow or block product add and delete.
Order Reminder Emails
After a customer places an order, the admin can remind the vendor and an email goes out automatically.
PayPal Seller Payouts
Vendors are paid through the PayPal gateway in the app. Admin and seller both need a Business PayPal account.
Why Do We Need Multivendor Marketplace for SAP Commerce Cloud?
Multivendor Marketplace for SAP Commerce Cloud adds the seller accounts, commissions, and payouts that a marketplace needs.
Without it, an owner has to build each of these by hand.
Custom marketplace work adds development cost, upkeep, and complexity. Tracking sellers and orders in separate places wastes time.
The connector adds seller shops, product approval, commission rules, tax and shipping splits, and PayPal payouts. One dashboard manages them all.
Only the admin can log in from the backend, so sellers never receive backend access. This keeps access rights simple to manage.
Also, if you build on a headless stack, you can check our Commercetools Multi Vendor Marketplace Integration.
Multivendor Marketplace for SAP Commerce Cloud Use Cases
-
Launch a B2C Marketplace
A retailer opens its B2C Accelerator Storefront to outside sellers and earns commission on each sale.
-
Run a B2B Supplier Marketplace
A B2B store invites suppliers to list products, and the admin approves each listing before it goes live.
-
Onboard Sellers in Bulk
Many sellers join at once through a CSV file instead of one account at a time. The CSV file carries the seller details in one upload.
-
Test Commission Models
Marketplace owners try percentage, fixed, or mixed commission by seller, category, or product. Each model shows a different margin for the store.
-
Chase Late Order Fulfilment
A reminder goes to vendors who have not yet fulfilled an order placed by a customer.
Admin Dashboard and Analytics
The Admin Dashboard shows the state of the marketplace on one screen. Sellers, recent orders, and sales are visible without opening other pages.
- View the total number of sellers in the marketplace.
- Check recent orders with their fulfilment status.
- Review order details from the dashboard.
- Track total sales across all sellers.
- Open in depth analytics for the whole marketplace.
- Log in from the backend as the only authorised user.
Seller Management
Seller Management is where the seller base is built and controlled. Sellers come in through a CSV file, and the admin sets what each one may do.
Stores that onboard many vendors or sell plans to them use this screen often.

- Proportion Between Admin and Seller: the charge is shared proportionally by the admin and the seller.
- Apply the same three options to tax and to shipping cost.
