Honest comparison
Hosted marketplace or your own EDD marketplace?
Both are valid. Pick by what you need to own and what you want to avoid running.
A hosted marketplace service | Your own EDD marketplace | |
|---|---|---|
| Fastest way to launch | U | s |
| Someone else runs the platform and updates | Y | e |
| You own the store, the data and the checkout | N | o |
| Look and feel fully yours | L | i |
| Custom workflows through code | L | i |
| Lowest effort to keep running | Y | e |
