Shopify is a great platform for online sellers as it offers a very user-friendly interface to set up your eCommerce store. With its self-hosting services, your store is live the moment it is set up after initial configurations.
But conventionally, it doesn't support the multi-vendor marketplace setup, if we compare it with other popular eCommerce stores like amazon and ebay.
Does that mean you can't host multi-vendor eCommerce stores on the Shopify platform? The answer is, fortunately, no - with the help of custom app development services offered by cartcoders, you can. And, being open-source, supporting this additional development makes shopify one of the best multi-vendor e-Commerce platforms available currently.
