A marketplace needs more than product listings
Bring sellers, moderation, digital delivery and marketplace accounting into one WooCommerce workflow.
Regal Marketplace is designed for operators selling third-party WordPress plugins and themes through their own WooCommerce site. It adds the marketplace-specific layers WooCommerce does not provide on its own: seller applications, product and release moderation, private release storage, customer entitlements, seller earnings and marketplace operations.
1
Control seller onboarding
Approve seller applications, maintain seller profiles and give approved sellers a dedicated dashboard for products, releases, sales and account activity.
2
Moderate what gets published
Review submitted products and release updates before they become public, with stored reviewer decisions and seller notifications.
3
Keep commerce auditable
Record marketplace sales, commissions, seller earnings, holds and payout activity alongside WooCommerce orders and customer entitlements.
The problem
WooCommerce handles checkout, but not the full marketplace lifecycle.
A digital marketplace also needs seller approval, secure release handling, moderation, customer licences, download entitlements, marketplace reviews, seller earnings and payout operations. Building those as disconnected tools makes the operator workflow harder to govern and audit.
The Regal IT approach
Add a marketplace layer around WooCommerce instead of replacing it.
- Publish a server-rendered catalogue with product pages, seller profiles, search and filters.
- Guide approved sellers through product drafts, submissions and moderated release updates.
- Keep protected releases in private Cloudflare R2 storage and serve authorised customer downloads.
- Use WooCommerce orders for marketplace accounting while Stripe Connect orchestrates seller onboarding and payouts.
Core features
Everything needed around the workflow this plugin is designed to solve.
Public marketplace catalogue
Publish searchable product listings, product pages and seller profiles with product-type and category filters, marketplace imagery and WooCommerce purchase links.
Seller applications & dashboard
Accept seller applications, approve accounts and give sellers routed dashboard areas for profiles, products, releases, sales, coupons, messages and marketplace activity.
Product & release moderation
Review new products and release updates before publication, preserve the live release while updates are reviewed and notify sellers of moderation decisions.
Secure releases & customer downloads
Store protected archives privately, scan submitted ZIP files, enforce customer entitlement checks and provide account downloads, release notes and licence certificates.
Commissions, earnings & payouts
Allocate marketplace commissions, maintain an auditable seller ledger, hold earnings until available and orchestrate Stripe Connect onboarding, webhooks and payouts.
Marketplace trust & engagement
Support verified-purchaser reviews with seller replies, buyer-seller messages, favourites, refund requests, listing reports, engagement analytics and seller-controlled SEO metadata.
