Honest comparison, no bitching, no less biased!
We have nothing against Dokan. They were the pioneers of WordPress based online marketplace solution and did great for the WP community. Though the demand was (still is) constantly increasing and this gap gave birth to other players, including us.
Initially, we started with WCFM, a frontend manager for WooCommerce and added support for all the major multi vendor plugins (WC Vendors, WC Marketplace, and Dokan) gradually. During this period we made aware of this huge demand-supply gap by our users, which inspire us to later develop WC Multivendor Marketplace (aka WCFM Marketplace).
WCFM Marketplace has been a huge hit since the day of its release i.e. 15th August 2018 (Independence Day of India). Some of our achievements in this less than 300 days span are (till the writing of this post) –
- Powering 30000+ online marketplaces
- 822,687+ lifetime download
- More than 91% 5-STAR reviews (Based on 329 reviews)
- Migration from other solutions is our 2nd highest source of users, just after new marketplace installations.
- Ranked in the top 50 in Shopping cart software category and won two prestigious awards in popularity and usability.
So without further ado let’s jump right into the comparison between WCFM Marketplace and Dokan. Aim of this post is to clear some doubt and misinformation about both the product and may help you decide which one is more suitable for your awesome marketplace.
