Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How to create a marketplace with Olam?

By default Olam is a single vendor digital store. To make it a marketplace ie, allow other vendors to list their products you need to install EDD Front End Submission extension. You can see more details of the EDD FES extension here. Once you install that extension and complete the basic setup your website becomes a marketplace, just like that!

I don’t want other vendors, can I use Olam to build a single vendor store?

Definitely, Olam comes as a single vendor theme, just install it and import the demo content, you get a single vendor store.
