Every successful online marketplace starts with a clear idea and the right technology to support it. MeKarti is a strong example of how traditional art and modern e-commerce can come together to create a meaningful and profitable platform. By connecting artists directly with buyers across the world, MeKarti proves that niche marketplaces can thrive when built with the right features, design, and vision. If you are thinking about building your own marketplace, MeKarti offers valuable insights into what works and why.
What Is MeKarti?
MeKarti is an online marketplace created for artists and artisans to sell their creative products to a global audience. The platform focuses on artworks, paintings, handicrafts, collectibles, jewelry, pots, planters, and other handmade items. It brings together people from different cultures and traditions who want to rediscover products that remind them of their childhood and heritage.
Built using iScripts MultiCart multi-vendor software, MeKarti was customized to meet specific client needs. The iScripts team handled the visual design, core features, database structure, business logic, and a custom admin panel. The result is a smooth and reliable marketplace that supports both buyers and sellers.
Why MeKarti Stands Out?
MeKarti removes unnecessary middlemen by allowing artists to sell directly to customers. This helps artisans earn more from their work while reaching a wider audience. At the same time, buyers gain access to unique and rare products that are not easily available in regular online stores.
The platform supports sellers from unorganized sectors and helps them build a stable income source. It also creates a trusted space where culture, creativity, and commerce come together.
How MeKarti Works?
MeKarti has three main sections: the customer application, the seller application, and the administrative console. Each section has a separate login and is designed to meet the needs of its users.
-
Customer Application
The MeKarti homepage highlights featured products, offers, and pricing details. Customers can browse products by category and easily find items that interest them. Category links lead users to product listing pages, making navigation simple.
New users can register directly from the homepage. Registration is required to place orders and make payments. Each product has a detailed page that includes images, pricing, seller information, and purchase options.
Customers can view:
-
Multiple product images
-
Product price
-
Seller name
-
Quantity selection
-
Add to cart and buy now options
MeKarti also allows customers to request customizations. By clicking the “Quote Request” button, buyers can ask for personalized versions of a product. If approved, the admin provides a private product link for purchase.
Registered users can access their cart, review added items, and complete payments using secure gateways like PayPal and Stripe. Customers can also view their order history, track order status, request returns or refunds, and leave reviews and ratings for purchased products.
-
Seller Application
Once artists register and log in, they gain access to the seller dashboard. This dashboard allows them to add products, manage orders, view reviews, and update account settings.
Sellers can add new products by entering details such as product name, description, images, price, category, and shipping type. They can also set product visibility and schedule publish dates.
All listed items appear in the “My Products” section, where sellers can search and filter products easily. When orders are placed, sellers receive notifications and can update order status from pending to shipped. Payment details and transaction history are available in the payment section.
-
Administrative Console
The admin console gives full control over the platform. Administrators can manage users, vendors, categories, revenue models, subscriptions, and custom quote requests. This centralized dashboard helps keep the marketplace organized and running smoothly.
