OpenMarketplace is a lightweight marketplace platform with framework capabilities, easy to use and extend by tech teams. Built upon the popular web stack such as PHP, Symfony framework and Sylius eCommerce.
As BitBag, we have been working on multiple MVM projects in the past decade. Since we are fans of open-source vendors and there was no soliton in this space yet, we decided to create one to offer a better USP to our clients and give something back to the community.
The solution is free, hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/BitBagCommerce
The demo can be accessed at demo.open-marketplace.io.
Nice php script :)
Im glad that it doesnt require heavy stacks with docker, Nodejs, postgres etc.
But one thing I wonder or could not find in the repository, how you manage the payment processes? In the demo store I see visa and paypal, and how is it managed?
If a user is buying from 2 vendors, do the money go to the platform owner and he has to pay out manually to the vendors? This payment splitting is quite complicated, especially regarding the taxes
@petrkirpeit, indeed the payment split is a complicated process. We are already in contact with a few PSPs to introduce it in the next versions. We will probably implement an abstraction layer to handle it that will be ready to connect to 3rd party payment services. For now, the split needs to be handled manually. Since the process is quite complicated and case-dependent anyways, we see that many merchants opt to do it this way in the MVP version.
