Multi -vendor marketplace is a net store that can be sold, purchased, and trades, as well as a regular EC site. Simply put, it is a store like Mercari, Amazon and Rakuten.

Even if you do not build an online store to sell products, you can exhibit it simply by registering a vendor in the marketplace.
