Marketplace plugins - Dokan, WCFM and WC Vendors

Reign is ready for the three multi-vendor plugins built on top of WooCommerce: Dokan, WCFM and WC Vendors. Install one and the styling turns on. Nothing to buy from us for it.

As with the LMS plugins, the depth differs. Two ship real template overrides for vendor storefronts, one is CSS only. All three build on WooCommerce, so the WooCommerce integration is worth reading alongside this page - a vendor’s individual products still go through Reign’s WooCommerce product templates.

Dokan

The deepest of the three. Reign ships template overrides for the vendor storefront: the store page itself, the store header, the store sidebar, the vendor’s product listing and its loop, the store’s table of contents, reviews, and the vendor biography block. Reign also adds a body class on Dokan’s product-edit screen so a vendor editing their own listing gets a layout suited to that screen rather than the general single-product layout. A dedicated stylesheet covers the rest - dashboard widgets, product forms, order screens.

WC Vendors

Also ships real template overrides: a modern store header and the vendor product listing loop. Reign replaces its own default page header with this custom store header on a vendor’s public store page, builds the vendor’s address and store URL from their profile fields, and styles everything else through a dedicated stylesheet. The store header only replaces Reign’s default page header on the vendor’s own store page - every other page on the site keeps the normal page header behavior.

WCFM

Styled with CSS only - no template overrides. Reign detects WCFM’s own pages, its shortcodes (store list, vendor registration, store hours and the rest of its front-end shortcode set), and loads a dedicated stylesheet only where WCFM is actually in use, so the extra CSS doesn’t ship on pages that don’t need it. Because WCFM builds on WooCommerce too, a vendor’s product pages and the shop archive still render through Reign’s WooCommerce templates - WCFM’s own layer is the store, dashboard and vendor-facing screens on top of that.

Checking what is active

Reign Settings > Integrations shows which of the three Reign has detected on your site, and confirms readiness for the others before you install them.

An alternative: WP Sell Services

If you haven’t committed to a marketplace plugin yet and your use case is simpler than a full multi-vendor store, Wbcom also builds WP Sell Services, a free option worth comparing before you install a heavier marketplace plugin.

If you have a Reign add-on installed

reign-dokan-addon, reign-wcfm-addon and reign-wc-vendors-addon are all still current products. See Reign add-ons for what that means for an existing site.
