DEV3 Bazario is a WordPress theme for multi-vendor marketplaces: sites where many independent sellers share one cart. The home page opens with a slim slideshow of seller stories and a big search card that overlaps its bottom edge (products or stores, a category and a keyword). A "Meet the makers" rail of storefront cards sits below it, and every product shows who sold it.

There is no public live demo. Watch the video tour at the top of this page, or step through the screenshots at desktop, tablet and phone sizes.

Built for marketplaces

  • Meet the makers. A horizontal rail of storefront cards: cover photo, overlapping avatar, category, rating, location, product count and a Visit store button. It scrolls with scroll-snap without JavaScript; arrow buttons, drag and keyboard scrolling are added on top.
  • Store pages. Stores are a post type with a cover, avatar, tagline, location, rating, sales line, selling-since year, response time, policies, gallery and reviews. A store page shows its own products, the story, policy cards and reviews.
  • Stores directory. Filter by keyword, location, category and minimum rating. Filters are plain links, so they work without JavaScript and every view has a shareable URL.
  • Sold by. A global WooCommerce attribute, Seller, links a product to its store. Product cards show "by Store", the product page shows a seller box (avatar, rating, response time, Visit store) and "More from this store", and the shop has a store filter strip.
  • Become a seller. Benefits, three seller plans with a monthly and yearly toggle, a plain fee table, a fee calculator (price and commission to what the seller keeps) and an application form that is stored and emailed.
  • Seller help. A seller-guide post type with categories and search, a seller FAQ and a buyer-protection page.

Compatible with Dokan and WCFM

The theme ships compatible styling for the vendor plugins Dokan and WCFM: store pages, store lists, dashboard menus and sold-by labels pick up the Bazario look when either plugin is active. The demo does not install them and the theme works without them; it does not call their APIs. A class map is in the documentation. Plugin names are used as text only.

Edit everything

  • Every demo page is built with the Elementor plugin (the free version works). The DEV3 widget category adds widgets for the Photo Hero, search card, store rail and store grid, product grid, category showcase, pricing, calculator, counters, FAQ, docs, testimonials and request forms.
  • The theme also adds block-editor twins and 28 block patterns: seller-story hero, search band, category pills, makers intro, store highlights, seller spotlight, become-a-seller banner, benefits, steps, fees table, plans, buyer protection, deal banner, FAQs, store policies, journal, about, contact, newsletter and more.
  • Customizer: colours, self-hosted fonts (Epilogue and Commissioner), announcement bar, free-shipping goal with a progress bar, sale countdown, header layouts (stacked with category search, inline or centred) and product page layouts. Saving also updates Elementor's Global Colors and Fonts.
  • A child theme is included for your own CSS and PHP.

WooCommerce

AJAX mini-cart drawer with a free-shipping bar, quick view, wishlist, colour swatches, percentage sale badges and styled cart and checkout. Product variations (colour, size, ring size) are in the demo.

Performance and accessibility

  • No 3D and no WebGL: photo heroes and light motion only. The always-loaded JavaScript is about 13 KB gzipped; motion and the marketplace UI load as small lazy chunks.
  • Self-hosted fonts with no external requests. Skip link, visible focus, labelled filters, a keyboard-scrollable rail with labelled buttons and reduced-motion support. Includes an RTL stylesheet, a translation template and wpml-config.xml.

How it's built

Architecture, stack, key decisions and the quality gates DEV3 Bazario passed before release.

Our own WordPress theme for multi-vendor marketplaces: a seller-story hero with an overlapping search card, a Meet the makers rail, store pages linked to products by a Seller attribute, seller plans with fees and a calculator, and no 3D.

The problem it solves

A marketplace has two audiences at once. Buyers want to find a thing quickly and trust who sells it; sellers want a storefront that feels like theirs and clear fees. Most marketplace themes lean on the vendor plugin for all of that and look like a plain shop. Bazario had to make the sellers visible on the home page, search that works for products and stores, store pages that are more than a product list, and a seller sign-up page that explains fees, all in Elementor, without 3D and without requiring a vendor plugin.

Architecture and approach

Bazario is a classic PHP theme with theme.json, built on DEV3's shared theme core in flat mode: a WebGL-free boot and a build gate that fails the theme if any three.js or WebGL code reaches its assets. The always-loaded JavaScript is about 13 KB gzipped.

Stores reuse a toolkit post type relabelled Store. A global WooCommerce attribute, Seller, holds one term per store with the same slug, so a store page can list its products and a product can show its seller without any custom tables. The Meet the makers rail is server-rendered cards in a scroll-snap track, with buttons, drag and keyboard support added by a small script. The search card and the stores directory are plain GET forms.

The seller page combines the toolkit's Pricing, Calculator and Request Form widgets. Compatible styling for the Dokan and WCFM vendor plugins is scoped CSS: the theme never calls their APIs.

Quality gates and results

Bazario ships with a one-click demo: 12 pages, 8 stores, 36 products in 6 categories, 6 seller guides and 28 block patterns, with free-licence photos and sample ratings.

It passes PHP lint, WordPress coding standards (0 errors, 0 warnings), Theme Check with no required issues, the WooCommerce checkout flow and an Elementor editor test, and its no-3D gate.

A multi-vendor marketplace WordPress theme with Bazario

Last updated
A multi-vendor marketplace WordPress theme with Bazario: DEV3 Bazario

A marketplace lives or dies on two things: how fast a buyer finds something, and how much they trust the person selling it. DEV3 Bazario is a WordPress theme built around both, with a search-first home page, storefronts you can browse like stalls, and a seller sign-up page that explains the fees. Every page is editable in Elementor and it runs on WooCommerce.

Who Bazario is for

  • Makers markets and craft marketplaces with many small sellers.
  • Local and niche marketplaces (food, vintage, art, services as products).
  • Agencies building a marketplace on WooCommerce with Dokan or WCFM and wanting a theme that styles both.

A search card that sits on the hero

The home page opens with a slim slideshow of seller stories. The search card overlaps its bottom edge: a Products / Stores switch, a category and a keyword. It is a plain form, so it works without JavaScript.

Meet the makers

A horizontal rail of storefront cards shows each store's cover, avatar, rating, location and product count. Buyers scroll it, drag it or use the arrow keys.

Store pages that sell

A store page has a cover hero, a store bar with the avatar and a verified badge, the store's products, its story, policy cards and reviews. Products are linked to stores through a global Seller attribute, so there are no custom tables to maintain.

Sold by, everywhere

Product cards show "by Store". The product page has a seller box with the avatar, rating, response time and a Visit store button, plus "More from this store". The shop has a plain-link filter strip for stores, sales and price bands.

Seller plans, fees and a calculator

The Become a seller page explains benefits, shows three plans with a monthly and yearly toggle and a plain fee table, and includes a calculator that shows what a seller keeps after commission. The application form stores each request and emails the admin.

Dokan and WCFM compatible styling

If you add Dokan or WCFM for real vendor accounts and payouts, Bazario styles their store pages, store lists, dashboard menus and sold-by labels. The theme does not call their APIs and does not require either plugin; plugin names are text only and a class map is in the documentation.
