About this plugin
Storefold lets other sellers open their own store inside your WooCommerce shop. Sellers apply, you approve them, and they manage their products and orders from a clean dashboard on the front of your site. Customers check out once; every seller receives only their part of the order and you keep a commission.

Everything is explained inside the plugin: each setting has a short description and a link to the built-in Help and docs screen.
For marketplace owners
- Vendor applications with manual or automatic approval, optional seller terms checkbox, and spam protection.
- Add vendors yourself, approve, suspend, reject or delete them one by one or in bulk.
- Automatic order splitting: one checkout for the customer, one sub-order per vendor with its items, coupon discounts, its share of shipping and its tax. Parent and sub-order statuses stay in sync, stock is reduced once, the customer gets one set of WooCommerce emails, and WooCommerce Analytics counts the order once.
- Commission as a percentage, a fixed amount per item, or both, with a live example while you type.
- Choose whether shipping and tax go to you or to the vendor.
- Earnings become available when the order is completed or paid. Refunds on the customer’s order (items, shipping, tax or an amount) take the matching amount back from each vendor automatically, and refunds started on a vendor order go back through the customer’s payment method.
- An append-only ledger for every vendor with manual balance adjustments.
- Withdrawals by PayPal or bank transfer with a minimum amount. A payout can never be paid twice.
- Commissions screen with filters and CSV export.
- Marketplace overview with monthly numbers, a “needs your attention” list and health checks.
- Ten marketplace emails registered as WooCommerce emails, with editable subject, heading and body text, placeholders and previews: new application, approval, rejection, suspension, new vendor order (sent once the order is paid), product waiting for review, product approved, payout requested, payout sent and payout declined.
- “Sold by” labels on product pages, shop listings, cart, checkout (classic and block) and orders.
- Vendor column and an “All vendors” filter in the Products list.
- Announcements to all vendors.
- Store reviews with optional approval before they appear, hide, delete and reported reviews, Verified buyer labels and public replies from the seller.
- Setup wizard and full built-in documentation.
- HPOS (custom order tables) and Cart and Checkout block compatible.
For vendors
- A step-by-step application form that creates the account at the same time.
- A responsive dashboard that adapts to any theme: overview with setup checklist, products, orders, coupons, earnings, payouts, announcements, reviews and settings.
- Simple and variable products with per-variation price, sale price, SKU and stock, gallery images and downloadable files (stored in WooCommerce’s protected folder).
- Orders with status updates, shipping tracking and notes shown to the customer.
- Coupons limited to their own products.
- Earnings download: vendors export their own sales and earnings as a CSV file, with an optional date range.
- Store page at /store/store-name/ with banner, logo, policies, products and reviews.
- Vacation mode with a custom message, shown on the store page and the product page.
Privacy and security
- Vendors never see wp-admin and only see their own media uploads, also through the REST API.
- Every form uses nonces and capability checks; every database query is prepared.
- Vendor data and store reviews are included in the WordPress personal data export and erase tools.
External services
This plugin does not connect to any external service.
