We would like to share with you today a project we started. This is Mercur - Medusa MultiVendor Marketplace Accelerator. Mercur simplifies the path to your own customized, multi-vendor marketplace.

Why Mercur?

After seeing the rising trend in multi-vendor business models and setting up several marketplaces from scratch at, we wanted to eliminate the repetitive setup of marketplaces. The aim is to enable users to start a new marketplace in about 10 minutes, providing a strong starting point for anyone looking to build their own multi-vendor platform.

Goals:

We aim to make Mercur adaptable for various marketplace types, such as rental or service marketplaces.

We also want to build an ecosystem of plugins tailored to multi-vendor setups, including solutions for payment distributions like Stripe. We want to publish all plugins adapted to the multi-vendor market under the name medusa-mercur-... e.g. medusa-mercur-stripe. With this annotation, developers will always know that this is a plugin for the MVM.

We want Mercur to be a community-driven product. Feel free to share your ideas on how you imagine the development of this project. Any idea and constructive criticism are welcome!
