Which is the best multivendor platform for Wordpress (Woocommerce)

    I have a multivendor marketplace and I reviewed WCFM & Dokan but not WCMP (not even sure what that is). Mind you this was about 4ish years ago. For me, I liked the WCFM feature set.

    What I really like about WCFM is the price is fair, they have been fairly responsive with the few support requests I've had, and I've found no bugs (everything just works as advertised). The messaging between you and your vendors or customers and vendors seems to work well. The orders system is solid and sales/stock reports are great. I've added plugins to do things such as rewards, sales and so on but usually those are on the woocommerce side of things. No incompatibility issues that I ran across.

    However, even though it's been working great all these years, the customizability per store isn't as flexible as I thought. Everything looks really basic design-wise. As well, I discovered that because mine is international, setting up shipping has been a nightmare. To be fair, I think no matter what platform you choose, shipping can be a pain if you're doing it yourself.
