Built on Shopify.
Built for marketplace operators who actually ship orders every day.
PuppetVendors turns a Shopify store into a working multi-vendor marketplace or consignment shop without forcing operators off the Shopify admin they already know. Over 1,000 merchants run on PuppetVendors today, from physical consignment shops and artist co-ops to digital goods marketplaces and 1,000-vendor enterprise platforms. The team has processed $10M+ in vendor payouts and handles 10M+ backend requests a month, so the infrastructure is battle-tested at scale.
Where PuppetVendors fits
Consignment shops and vendor malls - Built-in support for physical consignment, in-store POS vendor assignment via a custom Shopify POS extension, and granular ownership and margin reporting that consignment operators actually need.
Curated marketplaces and creator platforms - Vendor portals under your own brand, modular permissions per vendor, and product approval workflows that keep quality high without slowing onboarding.
Digital goods marketplaces - Native support for eBooks, music, digital art, and downloadable products alongside physical inventory, with no awkward workarounds.
What operators get out of the box
A white-labeled vendor portal where vendors manage their own products, orders, fulfillment, and payouts. Automated commission splits and payouts through Stripe and PayPal. Real-time order routing and inventory sync built on Shopify webhooks, not polling. Live shipping rates and label printing through Shippo and ShipStation. Granular per-vendor permissions covering fulfillment, inventory, edits, and pricing. Modular add-ons so operators only pay for the features they actually use.
Why operators pick PuppetVendors
Truly Shopify-native - built as a Shopify app from day one, not a separate platform bolted onto Shopify. No second admin to learn, no data sync headaches.
Strong on consignment - most multi-vendor apps treat consignment as an afterthought. PuppetVendors treats it as a first-class use case, with reporting, payouts, and POS workflows designed for it.
Transparent, predictable pricing - five clear tiers from $49 (Launch) to $599 (Enterprise), with custom plans for high-volume operators. No revenue share, no usage gotchas.
Operator-led roadmap — features ship based on what real merchants ask for, not what looks good in a deck.
