12 Important Features for a Multi Vendor Site

E-commerce store that sells products with many sellers/distributors is generally a multi-vendor e-commerce application. Now multi-vendor sites are quite popular. For instance, sites such as Walmart, eBay, and Amazon have been able to reach a wider audience with millions of sellers from just one site.
