Editor's Note: This is one of our PR posts from 2014. We just updated it including all major releases under v1. At that time Dokan was a marketplace theme for WooCommerce, later we launched it as a standalone multivendor plugin to build any type of marketplace in the WordPress ecosystem. Now Dokan is the best multivendor plugin with 60k+ active marketplaces worldwide. Check the latest version of Dokan. Thanks!
