A multi-vendor marketplace carries more weight than a single store. There are more products, vendor store pages, vendor-specific shipping and more plugins. On a standard theme, every one of those pages is built by WordPress on each visit.
Dokan, built by weDevs, runs on more than 40,000 marketplaces. weLabs is part of weDevs, so our headless work is built by the team closest to the plugin.
01What moves to the new storefront
- Home, category and search pages
- Product pages
- Vendor store pages
- Cart and checkout pages
02What stays in Dokan
Everything your vendors and your admin team use stays where it is: vendor dashboards, product management, orders, commissions and payouts. Vendors keep using the dashboard they know, and nothing needs to be exported or re-imported.
03How long it takes
After an audit confirms your setup is supported, a headless Dokan storefront typically launches in 1–2 weeks. The audit checks your Dokan modules, payment gateways and any custom vendor features.
04Who it suits
It suits marketplaces where shoppers browse many products and vendors before buying, such as fashion, beauty, electronics and home & living. If your marketplace is still finding its first vendors, the standard Dokan theme is usually the better starting point.
