Multi-Vendor plugins such as WC Vendors, Dokan, and WC Marketplace, can be used to transform your WordPress website into an eCommerce marketplace where thousands of vendors sell products.
A few weeks ago I showed you the best solutions for creating a WordPress marketplace in my article “How to Create a Multi-Vendor WordPress Marketplace“. I highly recommend checking that article out if you want to know more about creating a multi-vendor website.
What I would like to do in this article is share with you high quality WordPress themes that integrate with multi-vendor plugins. These designs were created for WooCommerce, which is no surprise given most multi-vendor WordPress plugins build upon the popular eCommerce solution. Most designs come packaged with premium plugins such as Slider Revolution and WPBakery Page Builder.
Please be aware that whilst the designs shared below have been created with multi-vendor plugins in mind, most WooCommerce WordPress themes can be used as the basis for a multi-vendor marketplace.

Final Thoughts
One of the most important factors in developing a profitable multi-vendor marketplace is using a high quality professional design. Multi-vendor marketplaces can be extremely profitable so it is important to select the right design.
During my research for this article I came across a few WordPress designs that work with WooCommerce and multi-vendor plugins, but do not heavily promote the functionality. This includes the directory listing theme Wyzi, the multipurpose medical design Medican, and the directory theme Inventory. The digital marketplace theme Restored MarketPlace is worth checking out.
If you are looking for a free WooCommerce theme that supports multi-vendor plugins, you should check out Best Commerce, Easy Commerce, OceanWP, Shopper, and
Bento. These designs have not been designed specifically for multi-vendor WordPress plugins, but should work well with them.
