Bazaar review
A self-hosted marketplace platform with strong multivendor operations and a one-time license.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Bazaar is self-hosted ecommerce marketplace software for founders, developers, agencies, and startups launching single-vendor stores or physical-product marketplaces. It provides branded storefronts, vendor dashboards, administrator-approved seller onboarding, commission tracking, split payments, catalog management, shipping tools, analytics, and administrative controls. The product is delivered as source code for deployment on the customer’s server, making it a fit for teams that want ownership of the deployment environment rather than a hosted marketplace service.
Pricing is structured around one-time licenses. The Single vendor plan costs $199 and includes an admin dashboard, source code, installation on your server, and six months of support. The Multivendor plan costs $999 one time and adds a vendor dashboard alongside the admin dashboard, source code, server installation, and six months of support. The Custom plan covers custom requirements. The multivendor tier is the relevant choice for marketplace operators because vendor management, onboarding, commission rules, and payout workflows are central to that use case.
Bazaar’s operational coverage is broad for physical commerce. Vendors can manage products and orders, while administrators can configure shipping zones, methods, and dynamic rate calculation. Analytics cover sales, vendors, products, and commissions. Payment options include Stripe, PayPal, cash on delivery, and Stripe Connect, with Google OAuth, AWS S3, and a rate-limited REST API also available. Choose Bazaar if you need self-hosted control and fixed-price physical-product marketplace workflows. Consider an alternative if you need digital products, a free entry plan, or a hosted deployment model.
