Custom Marketplace BigCommerce Theme
Supplier storefronts, buyer price lists and bulk vendor imports
A marketplace that sells to businesses lives or dies on the catalog: fifty local producers sending spreadsheets in fifty formats, buyers filtering by vendor and pack size and a caterer who expects a different price than a corner shop. BigCommerce handles the catalog side well, with bulk imports, brand pages that work as supplier storefronts, faceted search and customer groups with their own price lists. Foxco builds a custom marketplace BigCommerce theme with a vendor directory, shop-by-supplier pages, a seller application and buyer accounts sorted by business type. It runs $999, installed on your BigCommerce store and configured. Multi-vendor tools from the BigCommerce app marketplace can be connected as a custom project.
Dozens of suppliers and one catalog buyers trust.

Marketplace theme questions
Is this a marketplace template?
No. Foxco starts from its BigCommerce framework for marketplaces and builds it out with your brand, your suppliers and the buyer and seller pages the market runs on.
What's the timeline?
Most marketplace themes launch in 7-10 days once we have your logo, photos and content. Rush jobs depend on our bandwidth.
Can vendors manage their own listings and get paid out automatically?
Vendor portals and split payouts come from multi-vendor apps in the BigCommerce app marketplace and their features vary. Choosing, connecting and styling one can be scoped as a custom project; the $999 theme covers the storefront, supplier pages and buyer accounts.
Can restaurants and retailers see different prices?
Yes. Each buyer type sits in a customer group with its own price list, so a caterer and a corner shop each see their rate after signing in. Your BigCommerce plan and any paid apps are billed by BigCommerce and the app makers, separate from the $999.
Fifty spreadsheets in fifty formats is where most business marketplaces stall, long before buyers ever see a product. The theme is built so the catalog stays orderly as suppliers join and a buyer can still find one producer's olive oil among a few thousand listings.
Suppliers with a real storefront
Each supplier becomes a BigCommerce brand with its own page: a profile, photos, location, story and every product they sell. The vendor directory lists them all with filters for region and category, which gives smaller producers the same footing as the big names and gives buyers a reason to browse beyond their usual order.
One catalog from many sources
Bulk imports bring each supplier's products in from a spreadsheet mapped to your fields, so pack size, origin and lead time land in the same place every time. Faceted filters turn those fields into a sidebar buyers use constantly. Foxco sets up the import template suppliers fill out, which saves a lot of cleanup down the road.
Buyers sorted by how they buy
Restaurants, retailers and institutions each sign in to a customer group with their own price list and quantity breaks. A seller application handles new suppliers who want in. Reorders from past purchases make the weekly order a two-minute job for the kitchen manager who has better things to do.
Every supplier easy to find and easy to buy from.
