Multi-store Extension for a Cosmetic Business

Project Goal

Multi-store websites are gaining significant popularity due to their enhanced capabilities of driving a huge audience for your store. These websites let you create multiple stores using a single website. Our client was also running a similar wholesale multi-store website for his cosmetic business.

His website was a B2B platform where vendors can create stores to promote the products on cost per sale basis. Though he already has multi-store functionality, there were some shortcomings that he wanted us to overcome.

Our goal was to create a custom multi-store plugin for his Magento 2 website while accommodating a long list of custom features. The client was also looking to establish an affiliate business using the referral program based on commission per sale.

Solution

Super Admin Dashboard to Add Products

Unlike most extensions that are used by Multi-vendor stores, our goal was to provide complete control of adding and managing the products exclusively for the client. The vendors can now only import the products to display them on their websites.

We customized every product field to match the expectations of the store owner. Our team also developed a custom dashboard to add, delete or modify the products and details concerning them.

As the client was facing issues managing the vendors working with his B2B store, we provided a separate feature to manage them efficiently. By using the custom option as demonstrated in the image, it became fairly easy for the client to manage the vendors now.

We developed a custom dashboard for vendors enabling them to do a lot more than just export the product feeds for their websites. We provided them an option to customize the product labels to offer a more personalized experience to users in their store.

We also made sure that clients can access the details of every vendor easily with just a few clicks. For that, we provided an option of a separate vendor dashboard where all necessary information about the vendors can be displayed to the client.

The vendors can now check all details using a centralized dashboard. We provided them to view customers, orders, and transactions by affiliates. He can also see the commission he earns along with the payment status using his vendor dashboard.

We provided an option to add coupons so that vendors can use promotions to scale up their sales. Now the vendor can log in to his account and click on the coupon section to add discount codes and promos within seconds.

As per the requirements shared by the client, we enabled the vendors to use a commission-based referral program. The vendors can generate unique links and set the profit share level for every user who generates sales using that link.

The client’s multi-store was offering only a single membership plan to the vendors. It was restricting him from getting more partners due to his inability to address different needs. We provided separate membership plans to the vendor so that they can choose them as per their scalability needs.
