Choose your path
These are reading paths, not storefront types. Every vendor can use all four product types.
Guides are public. Your dashboard is not.
These pages need no login. Checklist progress stays in your browser. Google Analytics is not enabled in this build. To actually create listings, change settings or see orders, you need an approved vendor account on the marketplace.
Open your vendor dashboard (sign-in required) or apply to sell. Property owners can also see the property application page.
All vendors can create Simple, Variable, Booking and Subscription products in Add Product. Optional tools such as download delivery, shipping labels and payout integrations depend on marketplace configuration.
