This guide covers the open-source core. Spree brings multi-vendor marketplace support into the open-source core: sellers as first-class records, orders split per seller at completion, a commission engine, and a payout ledger with pluggable payout providers.

​
What you will build

  • Sellers — onboard sellers with an operator-configured requirements checklist, review submissions, and approve them for selling.
  • Order splitting — a customer checks out once; completion produces per-seller orders grouped under one purchase.
  • Commissions — the platform’s cut computed per seller, with EU commission taxation handled.
  • Payouts — a transfer and payout ledger, with Stripe Connect payouts (Express onboarding, on-fulfillment transfers) shipping in the open-source monorepo.
  • Seller operations — sellers work through their own dedicated API surface, scoped so a seller only ever sees their own trade.
