What we build with Dokan
Everything your marketplace needs to launch and grow
We plan the vendor journey, the buyer journey and the money flow first — then build a marketplace that is simple for vendors and fast for customers.
Marketplace setup from scratch
Dokan Lite or Pro installed and configured properly: store pages, vendor registration, product rules, emails and a clean, branded design.
Vendor onboarding & verification
Smooth vendor sign-up, approval workflows, store setup wizards and verification so you only accept the sellers you want.
Commissions & vendor payouts
Flexible commission rules and payouts with Stripe Connect, PayPal or manual withdrawals — set up correctly and tested end to end.
Vendor shipping & tax rules
Per-vendor shipping zones, rates and policies, plus tax settings that match how your marketplace actually sells.
Custom vendor dashboard
Extra fields, custom product forms, simplified menus and dashboard tweaks so vendors can manage their store without support tickets.
Vendor subscriptions & plans
Charge vendors a monthly or yearly fee, limit products per plan and run a membership-style marketplace business model.
Bookings, auctions & more
Extend your marketplace with bookings, auctions and other product types using Dokan Pro modules and WooCommerce extensions.
Integrations & custom features
Custom plugins, REST API work and third-party integrations (shipping, CRM, ERP, email) built specifically for your marketplace.
Speed, security & scaling
Caching, image optimisation, database tuning and hardening so the marketplace stays fast as vendors and products grow.

We fix, improve and support existing marketplaces
Many of our Dokan projects start with an existing marketplace that is slow, buggy or hard for vendors to use. We audit it, fix the urgent problems first and then improve it step by step — without rebuilding everything.
- Bug fixes & plugin conflicts — broken vendor dashboards, checkout errors and update issues.
- Payout problems — Stripe Connect, PayPal and withdrawal issues traced and fixed.
- Slow marketplace — speed audits and Core Web Vitals improvements.
- Migrations — move from WCFM or another platform to Dokan with your vendors and products.
- Ongoing support — monthly care plans for updates, backups and small features.

FAQ
Dokan questions, answered
Do I need Dokan Pro, or is Dokan Lite enough?
It depends on your business model. Dokan Lite covers vendor stores, commissions and basic withdrawals. Dokan Pro adds features like vendor shipping, subscriptions, refunds, reports and extra modules. We recommend the smallest setup that does the job.
Dokan or WCFM — which should I choose?
Both are solid WooCommerce marketplace plugins and we work with both. We compare them against your requirements (payouts, vendor features, budget) during discovery and recommend the best fit.
Can you customise the vendor dashboard?
Yes. We add custom fields, change product forms, hide unnecessary menus, add new dashboard pages and build custom features through hooks and custom plugins — without editing core files.
Which payment methods work for vendor payouts?
Common setups include Stripe Connect, PayPal and manual withdrawals (bank transfer). We help you choose based on your country, your vendors’ countries and your commission model.
How long does a Dokan marketplace take?
A typical marketplace takes 4–8 weeks depending on vendor features, payment setup and integrations. Smaller fixes and improvements can start within a few days.
Can you take over an existing marketplace?
Yes. We start with an audit, fix the most urgent issues first and then continue with improvements or ongoing support.
