Mercato is Xusmo’s built-in multi-vendor WooCommerce engine. 76 PHP modules, 8 database tables, 40+ REST endpoints — fully included, no licensing fees.
Customers shop across every vendor in a single cart. Mercato splits the revenue and pays each vendor their share automatically.
A seller applies to your marketplace. You review and approve from wp-admin or via the REST API.
Approved vendors manage their own catalogue, pricing, shipping rules, and coupons from their dashboard.
A customer adds products from multiple vendors to one cart and checks out in a single WooCommerce order.
Mercato records the commission, credits each vendor's wallet, and queues their withdrawal — automatically.
Mercato ships as a single WordPress plugin. Activate it, and all 16 modules below are live — no upsell, no module store.
Registration, profiles, custom storefronts, staff sub-accounts, and vacation mode. Each vendor is fully self-contained.

Twilio and Vonage support for vendor lifecycle events — approvals, orders, withdrawals, verifications.
Marketplace plugins are add-ons layered on top of WordPress. Mercato is designed alongside your site from day one — same database, same theme, no version drift.
No tiers, no module store, no annual renewals. Every feature ships with every Xusmo site — vendor dashboards, auctions, table-rate shipping, analytics, all of it.
Mercato shares your site's theme tokens, user table, and media library. Vendor storefronts look like your site, not a foreign UI bolted on.
When Xusmo ships an update, Mercato updates too. No separate plugin changelog to track, no compatibility breakage between a plugin and your theme.
