There are several ways to draw income on your marketplace with the CS-Cart platform once you build it.
Here are some of the most obvious:
Get commissions for every transaction on your digital marketplace: a vendor sells a product → you get a commission for this sale.
Set a fixed monthly fee for selling products on your marketplace: you can do it via built-in vendor plans.
You can advertise your digital marketplace vendors and increase their sales, which leads to more income.
Set a fee for additional marketplace platform functionality. For example, setting up an exclusive vendor store design or an additional dedicated storefront for a vendor (in Ultimate only).
You can choose any of these options or set all of them at once.
