My E-Commerce Website Is Ready — When can I Integrate Multi-Vendor Software?

It’s best not to integrate multi-vendor software right away, especially during the initial launch phase of your e-commerce business.

Here’s why: integrating a multi-vendor system can complicate payment gateway approvals with providers like Razorpay or PayU. When you first go live, payment gateways carefully monitor your transactions to ensure compliance, authenticity, and stability.

During your first 25 transactions, your account is typically under review or “under the scanner.”This is the most sensitive phase for any new e-commerce store — and introducing third-party vendor integrations too early can trigger additional verification requests or delays in payment settlements.

What You Should Do Instead:

1. Launch as a E-Commerce store first. Keep the structure simple and focus on building transaction credibility.

2. Complete at least 25–50 successful transactions. This helps establish trust with your payment gateway and ensures smoother approval for future upgrades.

3. Add multi-vendor functionality later. Once your payment gateway account has matured and you’ve built a transaction history, integrating third-party software becomes much easier and risk-free.

Start small, stay stable, and scale smart.

Focus on building a strong foundation first, and once your payment gateway relationship is established, you can confidently expand into a full multi-vendor ecosystem with zero interruptions.
