I’m looking for complex and advanced marketplace woocommerce theme in the market that could achieve all of the following:
- dokan multi vendor support (optional)
- able to sell both physical and downloadable products with proper integration
- can sell products for free
- selling digital goods such as courses, ebook, templates etc
- service/booking type marketplace
- micro job marketplace like Fiverr
- can make business directory/listing like yelp
- job board marketplace
It’s basically an all in one platform in one theme.
You won’t get close to this out of the box on a stock marketplace.
To achieve all that done properly and functioning together would be a complex build and easily tens of thousands of $ and require significant setup, resource, maintenance, hosting, security and management investment.
Is there anything or platform that come close to it, regardless of the price?
I can’t think of anything that would try and mix and match that much functionality.
I imagine that to set it up would be better done as a suite of individual services (a bit like envato marketplaces, envato studio, envato elements etc), as this would allow much greater control over each area form a resource, technical and business/legal point.
Aside from the tens-hundreds of thousand to build it up, there would be astronomical legal costs (especially if it functioned internationally) and to run it all properly would need a sizeable team of staff and easy thousands of a month in basic maintenance let alone if there was anything unexpected that ended up needing to be fixed.
