How can I create a digital goods marketplace for creators like Creative Market or UI8 using Shopify?

Hi everyone,

I have a creator audience who want to sell their products alongside mine on my website. How can I create such a marketplace using Shopify and set up commissions? Is there a plugin for that?

    There are lots of ways to do this but I would create a marketplace on Softr.io
    It's simple and you can use the stripe integration to collect payments.

    Maybe keep your Shopify site but have a call to action or a link that lets visitors know they can explore other products.

    You could also upload all their products to your page and somehow calculate a fee for sales that happen on your site.

    Another option is to be an affiliate to other creatives. You can be the entry point to their site but they would have to create an affiliate link for you to have on your site.

    I would do the marketplace myself if I were you because it can be a lot more lucrative and you sell it down the line if it becomes hard to manage.

    Just my thoughts and I hope that helps!

      Thanks for the reply, my main thing is the payment amount all the publishers, i need to take commissions and process to payment to them. Not sure how to do that with Shopify.
