Customer Reviews
| Extension Works Perfectly
I used CreativeMinds Marketplace Extension for Magento® to build our multi vendor store corporategift.com, the extension works perfectly and the support and communication was really amazing, highly recommended! |
- Fantastic, unbelievable across all fronts
We implemented, tested, and did a code review for every single B2B solution on the market before selecting CreativeMinds’ Multi-Vendor Marketplace. CreativeMinds checked all of the boxes. It’s been fantastic, unbelievable across all fronts. Not only for delivering according to our requirements, but also on occasion spotting some requirement or consequence of a change that we missed during our own scoping and prototyping.”
- Great!
A comprehensive Magento extension such as this is a big investment. In the case of CMinds' Marketplace, it was worth every penny.

Frequently Asked Questions
Please check the user guide to learn more about this extension.
What's the difference between this extension and CM Front-End Uploader?
The M2 Front-End Uploader extension gives each vendor a dashboard to manage products and orders.
This extension includes all Front-End Uploader functionality and more features to manage vendors, such as membership option, vendor scheduled payments and dropshipping.
Can the Marketplace administrator control which products to publish on his/her online store or online marketplace shop?
Absolutely. The Marketplace administrator can determine which suppliers can be trusted to freely upload products and which suppliers require admin moderation and approval.
The built-in notifications system will notify you whenever a new uploaded product requires moderation and approval and will also notify suppliers when their product has been approved, moderated or dismissed.
Is there an automated marketplace system for delivering payments to suppliers?
Not in the standard plan. The extension includes an admin billing system that lets you track pending payments to vendors, but the actual payment is done manually based on the agreed fee.
If you’re interested in integrating an automated PayPal payments module for paying vendors, please check this module:
What is the admin fee for selling supplier products?
The admin can determine a default fee for all supplier sales, or create a custom fee for each supplier based on mutual agreement.
