# Can I use Yo!Kart as a Multivendor plugin for my existing online store?

I created an online store a few years back using Shopify. Now I want to convert my store into a multivendor marketplace. I want to get rid of the recurring fee charged by Shopify so I want to go for Yo!Kart instead.

This is something that usually confuses a lot of people looking for multivendor marketplace solutions.

Yo!Kart is NOT a multivendor plugin. It is a standalone multivendor marketplace solution that requires no external plugins or add-ons for creating online marketplaces similar to Amazon, Etsy, Alibaba, etc,.

Multivendor plugins are used with SaaS-based eCommerce software like Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, and so on. Plugins and extensions such as Product Vendors, WC Marketplace, Dokan, and WC Vendors are used to convert an existing eCommerce store into an online marketplace. This option initially looks like a cost-effective due to small amount of monthly charges but when you calculate the cost for the lifetime, it is way too much. You can also experience issues like integration challenges, performance issues, security vulnerabilities, etc.

This is where standalone solutions like Yo!Kart comes into the picture. Yo!Kart is exclusively developed for building multivendor marketplaces. It comes pre-integrated with all the necessary marketplace features and APIs. Also, unlike the SaaS-based solutions, you only need to pay once for Yo!Kart packages. You can check the multivendor marketplace packages here: https://www.yo-kart.com/multivendor-marketplace-packages.html

So, you have 2 options:

1. Use Yo!Kart to create a new multivendor marketplace
2. Or, migrate from your existing eCommerce platform to Yo!Kart. Please note that there will be additional charges for Platform Migration.
