An online multi-vendor marketplace is a platform where various merchants from different locations sell their items or products under a roof. The owner of the marketplace handles the transactions work, whereas inventory is managed by the sellers. Taobao is the most popular online marketplace in the world, followed by Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Airbnb, etc. All these online stores work on different business models but the one common thing among them is that they are all multi-Vendor marketplaces. Starting an e-commerce marketplace is not a walk in the park.
