We basically provide two versions of Multi-Vendor:

• No-Code: a cloud-based marketplace platform hosted on our servers. You don't have to bother about your own hosting. You just sign up and get a marketplace platform deployed in the cloud.
  
• On-Premises: a self-hosted marketplace platform which is installed on your own server. You need hosting for this

For On-Premises, we provide the Amazon Cloud Hosting service with 24/7 monitoring. We will install the CS-Cart multi vendor marketplace platform for you, make all configurations of the server, and support the server with no extra cost. The pricing for this service starts from $69 per month.

But you're free to use the server of any hosting provider of your choice to build your marketplace on. Just make sure your hosting plans are compatible with CS-Cart marketplace platform system requirements.

To build a custom marketplace, contact our partners. Take a look at the list of developers in our Marketplace. Please contact them to get a quote for a multi vendor marketplace platform modification service.

If you have an in-house development team, you can build custom eCommerce business functionality yourselves—the CS-Cart is a source-available software. You can integrate third-party services including multiple payment gateways for secure payment processing.

CS-Cart is a subscription-based software. Whether you're getting No-Code hosted in the cloud, or On-Premises hosted on your server, the license is renewable. With No-Code, you can buy either a monthly or an annual subscription. With On-Premises, annual subscription only.

No more obligatory fees are included. You don't need to pay extra for customer care and upgrades—all these are included in the product subscription.

Regarding the hosting for On-Premises: it's up to you to choose the service provider, just make sure the hosting meets the eCommerce marketplace platform requirements so that you could build a multi vendor marketplace with fast loading times.

While your product subscription is active, you have free access to the support. The level of support depends on your subscription—the more advanced the plan, the more support features you get. Take a look at the support levels below.

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee, so there are no risks for you. If within 30 days from the moment of purchase you realize that the CS-Cart digital marketplace platform is not what you are looking for and you don't want to build a marketplace on it, you can get a full refund.

We designed CS-Cart to be a standalone marketplace platform in the first place. It guarantees stability, hassle-free configuration, and the uniformity of the marketplace you build.

But it is still possible to integrate the CS-Cart backend with your existing frontend thanks to open code. CS-Cart also has a powerful API support for this purpose. In this case, you'll need to hire developers to build this kind of an integration. You can not only integrate the Multi Vendor marketplace solution backend with the existing frontend but also connect any third-party service.

You can't enter the license number into the demo, but it is possible to transfer data from your online demo to a live marketplace.

A personal marketplace demo works for 15 days for demonstration purposes only. If necessary, you can export products, categories, features, and other data from the demo to your live marketplace.

Sure, you can do it on special terms. Usually, it is quite simple to move to a more advanced edition of our multi vendor software but there could be important nuances in some cases. Please contact us for details.

There are several ways to draw income on your marketplace with the CS-Cart platform once you build it.

Here are some of the most obvious:

• Get commissions for every transaction on your digital marketplace: a vendor sells a product → you get a commission for this sale.
  
• Set a fixed monthly fee for selling products on your marketplace: you can do it via built-in vendor plans.
  
• You can advertise your digital marketplace vendors and increase their sales, which leads to more income.
  
• Set a fee for additional marketplace functionality. For example, setting up an exclusive vendor online store design or an additional dedicated storefront for a vendor (in Ultimate only).

You can choose any of these options or set all of them at once. One of the most effective tactics for attracting sellers is to offer each seller a dedicated vendor store where they can manage their orders, catalog, promotions, payment and shipping options, and design.
