The owner of a multi vendor eCommerce marketplace invites sellers/wholesalers/distributors to sell their products & services to buyers using the website as a platform. Admin duties of the marketplace are the prerogative of the owner. Hence possible revenue streams from a marketplace, for the owner are through product commissions, subscription fees, PPC, and Affiliates. Yo!Kart B2B supports all these revenue streams.

• The marketplace owner can earn through portal commissions by any of the following methods:
  • Category + Seller + Product Combination
  • Seller + Product Combination
  • Category + Product Combination
  • Product Level
  • Category + Seller Combination
  • Seller Level
  • Category Level
  • Site Level

Portal Commissions are manageable at the admin level and are available in the admin dashboard under System Settings>Commission Settings. Commissions can be applied at 4 levels. These levels are Site<Category<Seller<Product. The commission setting at a lower level overrides the commission settings above it.

For example, the Product Level Commission over-rides the Seller/Category/Site level setting, similarly, Seller Level setting over-rides the Category/Site Level setting and the Category level setting over-rides the Site level setting.

• Subscription fee can be charged from the sellers on the marketplace. The admin can set up subscription packages available in the admin dashboard under System Settings>Subscription Packages Management. The subscription module in Yo!Kart B2B features the following:
  • Sellers pay a recurring subscription fee to list products on the marketplace. The fee will be according to preset subscription packages, set by the admin.
  • The sellers can select amongst the packages available on the marketplace.
  • The admin can edit/update the subscription packages, as and when needed.
    
• Pay Per Click (PPC). The sellers can sponsor the website banners. The media for the banners will be chosen by the sellers. The size and location of the banners can be edited and the sponsorship charges can be set according to these parameters. The advertisers can be charged based on the number of clicks on the advertised banners.
