Dokan turns WordPress and WooCommerce into a multivendor marketplace, giving vendors storefronts and administrators controls for commissions. The admin dashboard covers vendor, order, commission, and report management. Vendor tools include shipping, earnings, product variations, store customization, withdrawals, order handling, and tracking. Customers can use advanced or location-based search, follow vendor updates, request returns, and inquire about products directly. Dokan describes marketplace uses spanning physical and digital goods, bookings, rentals, wholesale, and creator stores. Payment modules include Stripe Connect, Stripe Express, PayPal Marketplace, and MANGOPAY; other listed integrations include Printful, Elementor, Rank Math SEO, and WooCommerce Bookings. Installation runs through the WordPress admin plugin interface, with a setup wizard to guide configuration. The free Lite plan allows unlimited vendors and uses WordPress.org support. Annual paid plans are listed from $149/yr. Dokan is not compatible with WordPress multisite, though its FAQ says it may be used on a single subsite within a multisite installation.
