title: Build a Multi-Vendor Marketplace
description: Marketplace capabilities are part of Spree core — sellers, order splitting, commissions and payouts, without a separate extension.
---

This guide covers the open-source core.

Spree brings multi-vendor marketplace support into the open-source core: sellers as first-class records, orders split per seller at completion, a commission engine, and a payout ledger with pluggable payout providers.

## What you will build

- **Sellers** — onboard sellers with an operator-configured requirements checklist, review submissions, and approve them for selling.
- **Order splitting** — a customer checks out once; completion produces per-seller orders grouped under one purchase.
- **Commissions** — the platform's cut computed per seller, with EU commission taxation handled.
- **Payouts** — a transfer and payout ledger, with Stripe Connect payouts (Express onboarding, on-fulfillment transfers) shipping in the open-source monorepo.
- **Seller operations** — sellers work through their own dedicated API surface, scoped so a seller only ever sees their own trade.

## Outline

1. Enable marketplace capabilities and configure the store
2. Define seller onboarding requirements
3. Invite and approve sellers
4. Assign catalog to sellers and take a multi-seller order through checkout
