Shuup is an open-source, customizable marketplace platform built with Python/Django for B2B, B2C, and P2P use cases. Key features include multivendor capabilities, customizable vendor commission plans, inventory management, marketing tools, payment gateways, and intuitive page editors. Pricing starts at $299/month for hosted SaaS and $1,499/month for a self-hosted license.
Compared to tools like CS-Cart Multi-Vendor or Shopify, Shuup offers more flexibility for developers but has a steeper learning curve, fewer templates, slower updates, and requires higher customization overhead, which may suit developers but challenge non-technical users like marketers. Customer support is responsive but inconsistent. Shuup is cost-effective for large, highly customized setups but less suited for small or rapid implementations.
