Typical Dokan + booking + RFQ stack
RFQ quotes, bookings, Woo checkout, vendor commissions, 4 presets and free JSON export — one engine instead of four plugins.

Service Commerce Engine by Volade
Why service commerce stays fragmented on WooCommerce
Dokan runs the marketplace, BookingPress handles booking, YITH RFQ quotes, WP Sell Services staged payments — none cover the full native cycle.
The WooCommerce service commerce problem
Too many plugins, zero unified cycle.
A service marketplace should not require four licences and three dashboards on day one.
- Dokan: marketplace — no integrated native RFQ or booking
- BookingPress: bookings — outside quote and vendor commission
- YITH Request a Quote: quotes — no unified booking or payout
- WP Sell Services: staged payments — no multi-vendor marketplace
- Native WooCommerce: zero quote → booking → commission cycle
- No business preset or JSON export for agency handoff
